Yoga and meditation were once called “alternative.” 🔮
Not because they didn’t work but because science hadn’t caught up yet.

As research began to study what people had practised for centuries, the evidence became clear. Movement, breath, mindfulness, and lifestyle-based practices support nervous system regulation, pain management, mental health, and chronic illness care.

Yoga Therapy grew to fill the gaps where conventional systems alone were not enough.

Today, Yoga Therapy is integrative, evidence-based care, working alongside medical and allied health professionals to support the whole person, not just symptoms.

This is not an alternative to healthcare.
It’s part of the future of it.

💫 What do yoga therapists actually do? 💫

More than just movement.
Yoga therapists assess and support people holistically using evidence-based research. We use multiple lenses: physical, nervous system, lifestyle, and lived experience.

When it comes to using movement as a therapeutic tool, we work within a clear, ethical framework taught in our Applied Anatomy & Physiology module.

A simple mantra guides the process:

Move · Monitor · Modify

MOVE
Support safe, appropriate movement based on the person’s current capacity, health history, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all sequence.

MONITOR
Observe responses over time, including pain, fatigue, breath, nervous system cues, and overall function.

MODIFY
Adapt practices as needed: adjusting load, range, pacing, or referring to other health professionals when safety or scope requires it.

This approach allows yoga therapists to work confidently, collaboratively, and safely, alongside healthcare and allied health teams.
