You shouldn’t have to live with that. One-on-one therapeutic yoga, where your history, your body, and your goals set the direction.

Whether it’s chronic pain, limited mobility, injury recovery, anxiety, or just a body that’s stopped feeling like yours, yoga therapy works differently than a class. It’s a one-on-one therapeutic practice built entirely around your history, your condition, and what you actually need to move and feel better. Most therapeutic approaches treat one layer of the problem. Yoga therapy reaches the ones they don’t.

What Is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy can
help with…

Yoga therapy is a personalized, therapeutic application of yogic wisdom and modern science, supporting healing where yoga class leaves off. These are some of the most common areas Rachel works with in her Salt Lake City practice.

🩹

Chronic Pain & Injury Recovery

Targeted yoga therapy to address pain patterns, support healing after injury, and build resilience in areas prone to recurring issues, without forcing or straining. Common conditions: low back pain, sciatica, hip and shoulder limitations, post-surgical recovery.

🧠

Stress, Anxiety & Emotional Resilience

Breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic practice calibrated to regulate your nervous system, reduce reactivity, and build a steadier relationship with stress. Especially supportive for chronic anxiety, sleep disruption, and burnout recovery.

🌟

Mobility, Flexibility & Balance

Therapeutic movement sequences that restore range of motion, improve postural alignment, and bring ease back to everyday movement patterns. Common focus areas: hips, shoulders, spine, knees.

🏇

Athletic Performance & Recovery

Yoga therapy as a performance tool, addressing the physical and mental aspects of training, recovery, and the mental edge that separates good athletes from great ones. Especially valuable for endurance athletes, climbers, and lifters.

🦼

Postural Alignment & Movement Efficiency

Identify and address compensatory patterns before they become injuries. Yoga therapy helps you move the way your body was designed to move, especially valuable for desk workers and chronic pain patterns.

☀

Overall Well-Being

For those who simply want to feel better in their body and mind, yoga therapy offers a whole-person approach to thriving, not just treating symptoms. A foundation practice that supports every other thing you do.

Why Choose Yoga Therapy with Rachel

What you can expect
to change.

🌟

You stop being a symptom to manage

Every session is built around your history, your body, and your goals, not a generic protocol. You leave each session with practices that are actually yours, not borrowed from someone else’s program.

⚅

You address what other approaches missed

Yoga therapy works across movement, breath, mindfulness, and somatic practice simultaneously. Most modalities treat one layer. This reaches the ones they don’t.

💕

You feel met exactly where you are

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to feel more at home in your body, Rachel starts with you as you actually are, not where you think you should be.

🎓

You build a practice that outlasts the sessions

Rachel’s goal isn’t to keep you coming back indefinitely, it’s to give you tools that work without her. The people who stay do so because they want to go deeper, not because they have to.

What Changes

What your life looks like
on the other side.

You stop bracing for the movement that always catches you. You start trusting your body again, not because the injury is forgotten, but because you’ve built the capacity to work with it instead of around it. That’s what changes in Rachel’s clients. Not just less pain, a different relationship with their own body.

From Clients

Healing in their
own words.

Rachel’s yoga therapy sessions have helped me move without pain for the first time in years. Her knowledge and compassion are truly life-changing.

I came in for help with stress and left with tools I use every day. Rachel’s approach is gentle, empowering, and deeply effective.

Rachel’s knowledge and compassion are truly life-changing. I finally have a practice that works for my body and not against it.

I spent two years trying to manage a hip injury on my own. Six sessions with Rachel gave me more progress than everything else combined. She understands the body in a way that’s genuinely rare.

I came in skeptical, I didn’t think yoga could address what I was dealing with. Rachel met me exactly where I was and built something entirely around my situation. I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Common Questions

Yoga therapy,
answered honestly.

The questions most people have before their first session. If yours isn’t here, email Rachel directly. She’ll give you a real answer.

What is yoga therapy and how is it different from a yoga class? +

Yoga therapy is a personalized, therapeutic application of yoga led one-on-one by a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT). Unlike a group yoga class, sessions are built entirely around your history, condition, and goals. Yoga therapy works simultaneously across movement, breath, mindfulness, and somatic practice to support healing where a class leaves off.

Do I need to be flexible or good at yoga to start? +

No. Yoga therapy meets you exactly where you are. Many of Rachel’s clients have never practiced yoga, are recovering from injury, or have significant mobility limitations. The work begins with your body in its current state, not a prerequisite of flexibility or experience.

Can yoga therapy help with chronic back pain? +

Yes. Chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons clients come to Rachel. Yoga therapy addresses the movement patterns, breath patterns, and nervous system regulation that contribute to persistent pain, often reaching layers that physical therapy or chiropractic care alone do not. It is most effective as a complement to, not a replacement for, medical care.

How is yoga therapy different from physical therapy? +

Physical therapy focuses primarily on biomechanics and structural rehabilitation. Yoga therapy works across multiple layers simultaneously: movement, breath, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and the relationship between body and mind. The two are complementary. Many of Rachel’s clients work with a physical therapist concurrently, and the combination often produces better outcomes than either alone.

What does a typical yoga therapy session look like? +

Each session is one hour, one-on-one with Rachel in Salt Lake City. The first session begins with a thorough intake of your history, current state, and goals. From there Rachel builds a practice unique to you, including therapeutic movement, breathwork, and tools you can take into daily life. Subsequent sessions build on what is working and adjust based on what your body is telling you.

How long does it take to see results? +

Most clients notice meaningful change within the first three to six sessions. The pace depends on the condition and your consistency with home practice. Rachel’s goal is not indefinite sessions, it is to give you tools that work without her. The clients who continue do so because they want to go deeper, not because they have to.

How much does yoga therapy cost in Salt Lake City? +

Yoga therapy with Rachel is $250 per one-hour session, billed per session with no commitment required. Some insurance plans reimburse C-IAYT yoga therapy as part of complementary care benefits. Check with your provider.

Is yoga therapy right for me? +

Email Rachel directly. She reads every message personally and will tell you honestly whether yoga therapy is likely to help with your specific situation, before you commit to anything. No pressure, no sales pitch, just clarity. Get in touch.

You move through the morning without bracing for it. You sleep without cataloguing what hurts. You stop thinking about your body as a problem to manage, and start trusting it again. That’s what Rachel works toward in every session.

Pain you’ve learned to live with has a way of compounding. What’s tolerable today becomes the thing you’re working around next year, and the year after that.
