✨ Yoga Therapy: Personalized Care✨

Yoga therapy is for individuals of any age. If you’ve been living with chronic pain or ongoing discomfort, yoga therapy offers the chance to work one-on-one with a certified yoga therapist—trained in anatomy, physiology, and therapeutic applications—to explore what’s contributing to your discomfort and design practices that fit your body.

Yoga therapy is a conversation and a relationship. It goes beyond poses, blending assessment, dialogue, goal-setting, and tailored yoga practices to support your daily life.

How it differs from other options:

✅Group yoga: everyone follows a shared sequence, with modifications offered generally.

✅Private yoga: guides you through traditional yoga sequences, focusing on technique and alignment; practices can be modified to meet you where you are.

✅Yoga therapy: starts with an intake and assessment to understand your history, symptoms, and goals. From there, a progressive plan is created and adjusted each session—not just to refine yoga technique, but to address the root of discomfort and improve how you function day-to-day.

Final distinction:�Private yoga helps you practice yoga more effectively. Yoga therapy uses yoga as a therapeutic tool—adapting movement, breath, and awareness to work directly with your specific health challenges, and evolving with you over time.

🐍✨ Cobra vs. Upward-Facing Dog ✨🐶

These two backbends look similar, but they’re not the same. Here’s how to tell them apart ⬇️

🔹 Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
Key Features:
Legs & thighs stay on the mat
Elbows bent, close to the body
Lift comes from back muscles (not pushing through arms)
Chest lifts, but pelvis & lower ribs stay grounded
Often taught in gentler practices or beginner sequences

✨ Benefits: Strengthens the lower back, gently opens chest & shoulders, builds awareness in spinal extension.

🔹 Upward-Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana)
Key Features:
Thighs & pelvis lift off the mat (only feet & hands on floor)
Arms straight
Requires more arm, core & back strength
Chest lifts higher into a deeper extension
Common in vinyasa and more active practices

✨ Benefits: Builds strength in arms/shoulders/back, deep front-body opening, energizing & invigorating.

⚡ Quick tip if you’re cueing or practicing:
In Cobra, you’re lifting with your back.
In Updog, you’re pressing with your arms and engaging lifted legs.

➡️ Save this post for reference and share with a friend who’s ever wondered, “Wait… is this Cobra or Updog?”

🐍 Cobra pose isn’t one-size-fits-all! In this carousel, Jeannie shows 6 different variations—starting with forehead resting on stacked hands and gradually building up to the full expression.

Why choose a modification?
✨ To protect your lower back
✨ To work within your current mobility
✨ To focus on gentle strengthening before going deeper
✨ Because some days, less really is more

➡️ Scroll through to see all the ways you can approach cobra pose.

Remember—your practice is your own. Always choose the version that feels right for your body on this day.
