Yoga Therapy
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is a holistic healing art that applies evidence-based yogic practices in the treatment of specific health conditions. It strives to achieve dynamic balance of the body-mind system, addressing the whole person.
Tamara is our Yoga Therapist here at OM. She has a degree in Kinesiology and has been in the industry for over a decade! She has a thorough understanding of kinetics and body mechanics, and you’ll know right away that you’re in good hands. Yoga Therapy is a modality Tamara uses to achieve balance throughout all of your body systems, creating an enjoyable experience – combining movement, breath and stillness so you feel your best, mind and body!
“It feels like I’ve known Tamara forever. She makes you feel so comfortable right from the start.” – Client Review
Yoga Therapy is rooted in the practice and beliefs of yoga, but is not the same as a yoga class. A Yoga Therapist incorporates movement, meditation, guided imagery, and yoga postures in a 1:1 session, to improve and maintain physical and mental health. Yoga postures are used to address specific concerns or goals, and incorporate breathing techniques used to energize or calm.

Yoga Classes at OM
“I have been attending Tamara’s Tuesday evening Yoga Therapy Flow class for almost a year now. The studio has a very calm atmosphere in the evening. Low lighting with lots of beautiful plants and a wood floor. Tamara has a lovely manner and always asks the class if there is anything specific we would like to work on. She has a background in kinesiology and is currently studying to become an osteopath. She is very aware of body mechanics and helps us with correct positioning. I really enjoy her class!”
