Slow, gentle, targeted work for back pain, stiff hips, knee issues, and the structural complaints that build up over years of sitting.
Props like a simple belt, brick, and pillow — easily available at home — are all you need.
Breathwork is integrated throughout to settle the nervous system.
Suitable for complete beginners, for older students, for regular practitioners, and for anyone advised to take up gentle structured movement.
Therapeutic Yoga at ALIGN is built on a simple principle: the body heals when it is given the right conditions to do so, not when it is pushed through them.
Most pain and stiffness — back, neck, hips, knees — is not the result of a single injury. It is the slow accumulation of patterns: hours of sitting, years of bracing, decades of carrying weight in places the body was never designed to hold it.
That accumulation cannot be undone in a fast class. It needs a slow sequence held long enough for the tissue to actually let go and the nervous system to come down from its baseline of vigilance.
What separates therapeutic work at ALIGN from a generic gentle class is the precision underneath the gentleness.
Each posture is chosen for its benefit — not randomly placed, not rushed, and not done for intensity, but for effect.
