Yoga Therapy

Pamela Meriwether gently adjusts a yoga practitioner in a prone twist.

Yoga therapy is a deeply personalized and holistic approach to healing—one that honors the whole being: body, mind, and spirit.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all practice, yoga therapy meets you exactly where you are, offering tools and guidance tailored to your unique needs, challenges, and intentions.

Pamela’s approach is rooted in compassionate listening and thoughtful care. Personalized sessions weave together breath work, mindful movement, deep rest, Ayurveda, lifestyle, and self-inquiry to support healing on every level. Whether you are navigating stress, recovering from injury, seeking emotional balance, or simply longing to feel more connected within yourself, this work invites you to slow down, tune in, and restore.

Yoga therapy is not about pushing or fixing—it is about gently uncovering your body’s innate wisdom and creating space for transformation to unfold naturally.

Through this process, you are supported in cultivating resilience, balance, and a deeper sense of well-being that extends far beyond the physical.

What is Yoga Therapy?

Personalized, evidence-informed support for whole-person wellbeing

Yoga therapy is a client-centered, individualized approach to supporting health and wellbeing through the tools of yoga. Unlike group yoga classes, yoga therapy is tailored to the specific needs, goals, and circumstances of each person, and is designed to complement—rather than replace—medical or mental health care. Using movement, breath practices, meditation, relaxation, and lifestyle education, yoga therapy supports the integration of body, breath, mind, and nervous system to promote resilience, self-regulation, and healing.
