• Therapeutic Yoga sessions are prepared to address specific medical conditions (for example, Sciatica, Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, COPD).

We are not medically trained, but we have studied and attended training programs on how to adapt traditional Yoga postures to a wide variety of conditions.
