Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about working with a clinically trained yoga therapist.
What is a yoga therapist, and how is it different from a yoga teacher?
A yoga therapist is credentialed by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT) and is clinically trained to work one-on-one with people who have specific health conditions. A yoga teacher is certified to lead general yoga instruction. On My Yoga Network, yoga therapists support people managing things like chronic discomfort, stress, and sleep, often alongside their existing medical care.
How do I find a qualified yoga therapist near me?
Tell My Yoga Network what you're looking for and your location, and we match you with a clinically trained (C-IAYT) yoga therapist who works with your goals. Many therapists offer both in-person and online sessions, so you're not limited to your immediate area.
What do people typically work on with a yoga therapist?
Common focuses include stress reduction, relaxation, breathing, sleep quality, mobility, and general musculoskeletal comfort. A yoga therapist tailors a practice to your situation. Yoga therapy is a complementary, supportive practice — it is not a treatment for or cure of any medical condition.
Are My Yoga Network's yoga therapists certified?
Yes. Yoga therapists on My Yoga Network hold the C-IAYT credential from the International Association of Yoga Therapists, the recognized standard for clinically trained yoga therapy practitioners.
Can I work with a yoga therapist online, or only in person?
Both. Many My Yoga Network therapists offer secure online sessions as well as in-person appointments, so you can choose what fits your schedule and comfort.
Is yoga therapy a replacement for medical care?
No. Yoga therapy is a complementary practice meant to work alongside — not instead of — care from your doctor or other licensed providers. Always consult your healthcare provider about your condition, and let your yoga therapist know about any relevant medical history.
How much does working with a yoga therapist cost?
Pricing varies by therapist, session length, and whether sessions are online or in person. Share your goals with My Yoga Network and we'll match you with options and current rates before you commit.
