YOGA THERAPEUTICS
AT HOTBOX
WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY?
Yoga therapy is a personalized approach to wellness that adapts the tools of yoga—such as movement, breathwork, relaxation, and meditation—to meet your specific health needs. Whether you’re looking to manage an existing condition or take preventative steps for your overall well-being, yoga therapy works with you right where you are. Through one-on-one sessions, a yoga therapist will design an evolving practice tailored to your unique goals, helping you to restore balance and promote healing. This approach works alongside conventional treatments, providing comprehensive, holistic support for your overall health.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Yoga therapeutics is for individuals seeking a holistic approach to healing and well-being. It is particularly suited for those dealing with complex challenges such as grief, anxiety, depression, or physical ailments that require time and care to recover. This practice supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and is designed to complement other treatments. It is ideal for anyone looking for a personalized, therapeutic approach to address imbalances, navigate life transitions, or enhance their overall health and resilience.

Her interest in yoga therapy stems from its holistic approach to healing and balance. After losing her mother to mental illness in 2011, Ava turned to yoga as a means to process her grief and reconnect with herself. She discovered yoga’s profound ability to support healing—not only mentally and emotionally but physically as well.
​
Through her personal experiences, Ava became deeply aware of how grief, anxiety, and depression manifest in the body. This realization sparked her dedication to yoga therapy, which considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Yoga therapy is designed to work alongside other treatments and is especially helpful for addressing complex ailments that require time to recover and heal.
