Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain & Spine Health
Living with chronic pain is exhausting. My approach uses gentle, prop-supported yoga to help you reclaim movement, ease tension, and find comfort in your own body again.

About this collection
When you're dealing with conditions like scoliosis or fibromyalgia, standard fitness classes often do more harm than good. In my sessions, we don't force poses. Instead, we use everyday props like bolsters, blocks, and belts to modify movements so they work for your specific anatomy, not the other way around. My goal is to help you build stability and relieve pain, not to push you into a perfect yoga body.
Managing chronic pain requires a different pace. It is not about how deep you can stretch, but how safely you can move. Whether you are managing the curvature of scoliosis or the widespread fatigue of fibromyalgia, my approach focuses on creating a safe environment where your nervous system can finally downshift.
We start every 1-on-1 virtual session with a brief assessment to understand your pain points. I then guide you through Hatha and Restorative sequences that act as physical therapy, helping you realign your posture and strengthen supporting muscles without overexertion.
How we work together
- Prop-Supported Movement: If a pose feels inaccessible, we adapt it. We use cushions and straps to ensure you get the benefits of the stretch without the strain.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Your body has its own history. If you need to keep your camera off or take a rest midway, that is completely okay.
- Progressive Plans: We do not just do one-off classes. My goal is to teach you how to modify your practice so you can carry these movements into your daily life.
You do not need to be flexible to start. You just need to be ready to listen to your body and try a gentler way of moving.
