What is Therapeutic Yoga, Anyway? | Ep. 38

On the surface, many yoga classes can look the same. But the experience inside your body can feel completely different. In this episode, Mikah Horn unpacks what therapeutic yoga really means, and why it’s less about the poses themselves and more about how and why they’re practiced.Rather than focusing on quick fixes or isolated symptoms, therapeutic yoga takes a whole-person approach. It considers your body, your nervous system, your habits, and your lived experience. This is where real, lasting change begins.You’ll learn how intentional sequencing, mindful pacing, and awareness-based cueing work together to support strength, mobility, and resilience, without pushing your body beyond what it’s ready for.
