FAQ
What is Yoga?
Yoga is a universal practice rooted in the Vedas, the ancient scriptures of India. It was first codified by Patañjali in the Yoga Sūtras, a foundational text that outlines the philosophy and principles of yoga. The term “Yoga” encompasses various interpretations, including “to come together,” “to unite,” and “to tie the strands of the mind together.” Despite these differing definitions, they all converge on a common goal: achieving inner harmony and personal transformation.One of my favorite definitions of yoga is: “to attain what was previously unattainable.” This reflects yoga’s potential to help us achieve the positive changes we desire in our lives.Importantly, there are no prerequisites for beginning a yoga practice, nor is there a single prescribed method. Yoga offers multiple paths for personal growth, including āsana (physical postures), prāṇāyāma (breath control), dhāraṇā (meditation), and the study of the Yoga Sūtras. Each individual can embark on their yoga journey at their own starting point, progressing step by step in a manner that suits their unique needs and circumstances.Whether you seek to improve physical health, manage stress, or enhance emotional well-being, yoga provides the skillful means to navigate your path to transformation.
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is a self-empowering process that encourages individuals to take an active role in their healing journey. It is safe, supportive, and individualized, ensuring that each practitioner receives a personalized and evolving yoga practice tailored to their specific needs. This holistic approach not only aims to address the illness in a multi-dimensional manner but also focuses on alleviating suffering progressively, non-invasively, and as a complementary treatment.Depending on the nature of the issue, Yoga Therapy can serve multiple purposes: it may act as a preventative measure, support recovery journeys, or provide a means to manage the illness. More importantly, it facilitates healing at all levels—physical, mental, and emotional—empowering individuals to reclaim their health and well-being.Whether you seek to manage a chronic condition or improve overall wellness, Yoga Therapy offers a unique and effective pathway to healing.

My practice focuses on chronic pain management, stress relief, injury recovery, and women’s health, offering both one-on-one sessions and small group classes.Having been exposed to both traditional healing practices and modern medicine (allopathic healing) from a young age, I discovered Yoga Therapy as a holistic approach that resonated with my values.

Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar with Yoga Therapy Toronto.
