Yoga Therapy in Philadelphia & Bryn Mawr
Move, breathe, heal—Yoga Therapy for mind & body
You know that movement can help you feel better, but sometimes traditional exercise feels overwhelming, and mindfulness practices seem out of reach. Yoga therapy offers a different approach—one that meets you exactly where you are. By integrating breathwork, mindful movement, and relaxation techniques, yoga therapy provides a holistic way to regulate emotions, reduce stress, and improve both physical and mental well-being.
Feeling stressed, disconnected, or stuck in your body?
Life’s demands can leave you feeling tense, restless, or out of sync with yourself. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, or physical discomfort, yoga therapy helps you feel more at home in your body.
By incorporating movement, breath awareness, and grounding techniques, this practice supports emotional regulation, stress relief, and a deeper connection between mind and body.
Yoga therapy bridges the gap between mental and physical well-being, offering a gentle, restorative practice that adapts to your needs.
Unlike traditional yoga, yoga therapy is tailored to your unique needs. Sessions are guided by mental health professionals who specialize in somatic healing, integrating techniques to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and physical relaxation.
Our Approach to Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is more than just stretching or movement—it’s a therapeutic practice designed to support emotional balance, relieve physical discomfort, and regulate the nervous system. At Spilove Psychotherapy, we integrate somatic techniques with mindful movement to create a practice that works for you.
Whether you’re looking for stress relief, support through recovery, or a deeper connection with your body, our yoga therapy sessions are tailored to your unique needs. We focus on comfort, accessibility, and emotional well-being, ensuring that each session is gentle, intentional, and adaptable. Through guided movement, breathing techniques, and mindful awareness, we create a space that fosters self-awareness, regulation, and renewal—helping you feel more at ease in your body.

Pranayama (Breathing Techniques) – Breath-centered practices that calm the nervous system and improve focus.

When stress, anxiety, or pain take over, it can feel like your body is working against you.
Yoga therapy helps you reconnect—guiding you toward balance, resilience, and relief.
At Spilove Psychotherapy, we integrate guided breathing techniques, mindful movement, and restorative practices to support both physical and emotional well-being. If chronic pain, anxiety, or stress have left you feeling disconnected, yoga therapy provides a path to restoration. This practice encourages you to slow down, tune in, and cultivate balance while promoting flexibility, emotional regulation, and mental clarity. It can also support post-injury recovery and, for those seeking a greater sense of safety in their bodies, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga offers a structured approach to rebuilding trust and connection within oneself.
