Yoga Therapy
 The International Association of Yoga Therapists defines yoga therapy as "the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups." Suzanne's yoga therapy protocol is strategically designed post-physical assessment including joint AROM, client questionnaire and interview. Sessions typically include structural assessment, discussion, strength training by asana practice and calculated isometrics, pranayama, mudras,

meditation and/or relaxation techniques, plus homework.
