Vlad providing a Yoga Therapy session, doing a breath assessment on a client.

What is Yoga Therapy?

“Yoga Therapy is 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.” – International Association of Yoga Therapists

Yoga Therapy is a one-to-one process in which an individualised practice is developed to support the client’s specific wellbeing goals and needs. Using tools such as postures, breathing techniques, affirmations, and guided meditation, the client engages in regular practice over 2–3 months with the guidance and support of the Yoga Therapist.

This is a collaborative approach designed to empower the client to practise independently, without creating dependency on the therapist.

Client Testimonials

  • “Vladimir has been my yoga therapist for almost a year. He excels in personalized care, combining tailored exercises, active listening, and effective breathing techniques. After each session, he would provide a detailed practice sheet and goal-setting to keep me motivated and progressing. His empathetic and skilled approach makes every session supportive and transformative. I highly recommend his services for a truly customized yoga therapy experience.”
    M.C.O., Female, 47 y.o. France
    Reason for coming: Help me reclaim my new body (after surgery) in a kinder way
  • “I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you — not just for crafting the perfect practice plan, affirmations, and meditations, but for truly seeing me. You didn’t just hand me a routine; you handed me a mirror (a gentle, non-judgy one!) and helped me recognize the one thing that’s been quietly steering my ship all along. I always had a hunch, but you helped me connect the dots – and now I can’t unsee it and will work so that I will be able to forgive myself one day.”

    Reason for coming: Gain clarity, inner peace, & loosen emotions that may be stored as blockades in the body.
  • “Sciatic nerve symptoms have been eased, and even though they are not completely gone (depending on the sleeping position, sitting position, etc.), the stretching exercises have helped significantly…In this period, I could notice a significant improvement mostly in the area of relieving anxiety, self-perception, and perception of stress, which usually causes anxiety.“
