Yoga for Knee Pain: Safe Poses and What to Avoid
Which postures strengthen and protect painful knees, which ones to leave out, and how to adapt floor sitting and daily life around sore joints.
Read the guideYoga Therapy uses targeted, gentle practices to support common concerns such as back pain, posture issues and lifestyle stress.
Yoga Therapy is the most individually adapted class on the timetable. Rather than following a fixed sequence, the practice is selected around the student's specific concern - most often back pain, posture, or long-term lifestyle stress.
The goal is not advanced postures. It is restoring comfortable movement, building the strength that supports it, and giving you something safe and repeatable to practise at home between sessions.
Sessions begin with a short conversation about how you are feeling that day, because a practice that suited last week may not suit today. Movement selection follows from that rather than from a set plan.
The work is gentle and deliberate: mobility for the affected area, strengthening for the structures that support it, and breath-led relaxation for the stress patterns that often accompany persistent discomfort. Props are used freely.
You want a gentler, targeted practice for back pain or posture.
You are returning to movement after discomfort or long inactivity.
You need more personal attention than a general group class.
Yoga Therapy sessions are adapted to the person. The goal is not to chase advanced poses, but to improve awareness, strength, mobility and confidence safely.
Progress here is gradual and measured in everyday terms - sitting for longer without discomfort, sleeping better, moving more confidently - rather than in postures achieved. Consistency matters more in therapy work than in any other class on the timetable.
Yoga Therapy is supportive movement and breathwork, not a replacement for medical care. Students with pain or medical conditions should follow professional medical advice.
Many students use targeted yoga practice to support back comfort, posture and mobility. The instructor adapts the practice to your condition and comfort.
