She has studied annually at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune since 1998 and has spent 15 of those years assisting in the medical classes, gaining extensive experience in therapeutic applications of yoga.
These classes explore how yoga can be adapted as a therapeutic practice, using supportive equipment such as chairs, ropes, blankets, blocks, and bolsters to make postures accessible and effective for each individual.
Each session is supervised by three or more teachers, ensuring careful guidance and support so every student can work safely and achieve the best possible outcome.
Yoga therapy may assist with conditions such as:

The focus is on improving function, supporting recovery, and cultivating a greater sense of wellbeing.
