What Is Therapeutic Yoga?
Therapeutic Yoga bridges the gap between physiotherapy rehabilitation and a full yoga practice. It's not a generic “gentle yoga” class — it's a personalised, evidence-based program designed by a qualified physiotherapist who is also a trained yoga instructor.
Did you know?
Up to 40-50% of people stop practising yoga after an injury. They lose not just the physical practice, but the mental clarity, emotional balance, and community that came with it.
Therapeutic Yoga exists to change that. We help you return to your practice — or start a new one — with clinical precision and genuine care.
Why Therapeutic Yoga Matters
As a physiotherapist and yoga instructor, I've seen it too many times: someone gets injured, steps away from yoga “just for a few weeks,” and never comes back. Not because they don't want to — but because they don't know how to return safely.
Standard yoga classes aren't designed for people recovering from injuries. And standard physio doesn't always understand what it means to lose a practice that was deeply part of your identity and wellbeing.
That's why I created Therapeutic Yoga at Jiva Health — to be the bridge. To take the clinical rigour of physiotherapy assessment and treatment, and combine it with the wisdom and healing power of authentic yoga.
The goal isn't just to get you moving again. It's to get you back to the practice you love — safely, confidently, and fully.

Strength & Stability Building
Progressive loading and functional strengthening to prepare your body for the demands of yoga — so you can return with confidence, not fear.
Yoga Reintegration
Guided return to yoga practice with modified poses, breath-based progressions, and ongoing support. You rejoin classes knowing your body is ready.
Stories of Recovery
Real people who found their way back to the practice they love.
“After my shoulder surgery, I thought my yoga days were over. Vidhi helped me understand exactly what my body needed, and within a few months I was back on the mat — stronger than before.”
“I'd been living with chronic lower back pain for years. The combination of physio treatment and modified yoga gave me relief I hadn't felt in a decade. I finally feel like myself again.”
“As someone with hypermobility, every yoga class felt like a risk. Therapeutic Yoga taught me how to build stability and practise safely. Now I actually enjoy yoga without the anxiety.”
“I tore my ACL playing sport and was told to avoid yoga. Vidhi created a program that worked around my knee while keeping me connected to my practice. The personalised approach made all the difference.”
“After having my baby, my body felt completely different. Therapeutic Yoga helped me rebuild my core and pelvic floor safely, and I'm now back in regular classes with full confidence.”
