Yoga Therapy Toronto

Private and Group Sessions
For Health & Wellness

"When we practice on our yoga mat, let us set the intention of exploring movement while circulating prana and mindfully be with whatever arises in the moment. In this way, we may move towards refining and re-integrating all aspects of our being."

Ante Pavlovic

Private Yoga Therapy Sessions

All of our sessions are taught on a one-on-one basis, unless there is a specific reason for teaching in a group setting. Instructing on a private basis allows us as Yoga Therapists to gain a deeper understanding of who you are, which will then allow us to plan specifically for your needs.

Once we understand your needs, we develop a personalized home practice that may include some of the following tools:

counselling
conscious and mindful breathing
appropriately sequenced and individualized physical movements
deep tissue bodywork
meditative practices
visualization
use of sound and mantra
dream yoga
guided relaxation & yoga nidra
... and more.

A typical first consultation and yoga session lasts 90 minutes.

Initial Consultation includes:

Intake: Inquiring and assessing student's health history, current treatments and medications, current physical, mental and emotional condition, and student's health and wellness goals.
Yoga Practice: Each practice is tailored to suit your specific needs, capabilities, goals, and life circumstances. We will then teach you this personal practice.
Take Home: Students will be provided an accompanying diagram of the practice to be done at home.
Follow-Up Sessions: All throughout this process, you are strongly encouraged to check in with Felicia or Ante with any questions, concerns or personal feedback. Depending on your needs, follow up sessions may be necessary in order to revise and update your personal practice. As you change, so must the practice.

We teach Yoga as a complementary system of health, not an alternative one. It supports and works in conjunction with your normal medical treatments, and we ask you to continue your personal health routine as suggested by your doctor or medical professional.

Private sessions are by appointment only.
So please call or email for a consultation.

Yoga Outreach Programme

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"
- Mahatma Gandhi

Welcome to Yoga Therapy Toronto Outreach Programme.

We also provide ongoing mentorship and educational programmes to support teachers in delivering Yoga Outreach sessions throughout the Greater Toronto community.

Class Descriptions:

Prana Flow - 'when the breath is steady, the mind is steady'
Experience how conscious and focused breathing helps open the body and calm the mind as you move fluidly from one posture to the next. These classes may also include: pranayama, use of sound & mantra, guided meditation & relaxation, philosophy and the use of a drum beat.

Prana Drumbeat - (with Felicia)
Experience a vigorous flowing class while regulating your breath to the live sounds of the djembe drumbeat.

Yin Pranayama Restorative - (with Felicia)
Begin with Yin postures (holding poses that pressurize the meridian lines), followed by Pranayama (conscious breathing practices), and transitioning into Restorative postures (prop supported poses) accompanied by Yoga Nidra (guided meditation).

Restorative Yin Yoga
This class is mainly focused on floor work, where you move from restorative poses where you are prop-supported interwoven with Yin postures where you pressurize and stretch the meridian lines.

Yin & Yang Flow
These classes will focus on both Yang style movements (strengthening & heating) and Yin style movements (flexibility & calming).

Karma Yoga - by donation only - pay what you can.
Enjoy a yoga class while also helping to support a good cause.
