Yoga therapy, available at True Yoga + Therapy, in Daphne, is an emerging specialty area within integrative healthcare. Research shows yoga can help reduce lifestyle-based chronic disease and mental health disorders. At True, their evidence-based, comprehensive mind-body treatment uses an individualized approach based on the biopsychosocial model coupled with the client’s needs and health history.

One-on-one yoga therapy sessions are recommended for those experiencing more complex health histories and higher levels of need (written permission from a physician may be required for yoga therapy intervention). Using the same individualized approach, a mental health professional facilitates True’s yoga therapy groups, which address specific issues shared by a small group of people. The groups allow space for processing life’s challenges, the development of new skills and the management of specified conditions.

Visit True’s website, TrueYogaTherapy.com, which was recently updated to include owner Sydney Wasdin’s new blog and class schedule. Updates include a monthly community class that raises donations for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline and a yoga therapy group for teens. For more information, call 251-250-9440.
