Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a Certified Yoga Therapist with 500+ hours of therapeutic yoga training & 10+ years yoga teaching experience. I listen to your needs, assess postural imbalances, help you set goals and provide a practice protocol for you to follow in between sessions to reduce stress & optimize potential. I work with clients of all ages: professional athletes rehabbing an injury to elderly individuals seeking to continue moving with ease so they can play with grandchildren. Regardless of age or ability, my role is not to 'fix' but to empower you to move, breathe and engage more skillfully so that you can live life to the fullest. **I have 4 years experience working as on-site yoga therapist for a world-class orthopedic surgeon in a Philadelphia sports medicine facility. My specialties include low back pain (incl. disc herniation, sciatica), core muscle & hip injuries, rotator cuff/scapular instability, pre/postnatal & pelvic floor.

I have worked with Pivotal Yoga Therapy in a variety of contexts - I've had private sessions to focus on form and strength, and to rehab a shoulder injury. I've also had private prenatal sessions during my second and third trimester. As a full time working mom of three, yoga is my stress-releaser, my energizing workout, and my 'me-time'. PYT takes the time to get to know each individual client and formulates a home-practice that is nurturing both physically and mentally. My workouts with PYT feel challenging yet peaceful. Yoga therapy has helped me realign my posture and retrain my body, especially when I have had injuries or was dealing with the physical changes associated with pregnancy. I would recommend PYT to anyone that wants an invigorating and meaningful workout, especially during a time of injury or recovery. As an orthopedic surgeon, I understand the value in simultaneously strengthening and stretching your body to prevent injuries and maintain endurance and well-being. PYT has a deep understanding of the balance between stretching and strengthening and how to use yoga to facilitate postoperative recovery.

I added yoga therapy to my existing physical therapy 3 weeks after a sports hernia repair. I also have a history of disc herniation and had been feeling generally out of condition since I had stopped playing soccer. PYT helped me become more flexible and ensured that scar tissue didn’t build up after surgery. Combining the two helped me recover faster than if I had just done PT. Previously, I didn’t understand what yoga was and the positive effect it could have on your mind and body. PYT’s calm and positive manner post-op was key to getting me comfortable in a yoga environment.

Great feedback Chris - thanks! Yoga can be intimidating (particularly for men). So glad to hear that your post-op recovery was better than expected.

Private yoga therapy was really effective for me to rehab a low-back muscle strain. Group yoga practices help, but nothing is as effective or challenging as individual attention. Regular one-on-one sessions enabled me to reduce work stress, and build the strength and flexibility to keep me resilient against future injuries.

Hi Alan - thank you for this insight! Our yoga tune-up sessions have proven to be a great way to keep you out of injury. So pleased to hear this.

Kayla is a great Yoga coach. She personalizes each session to my strengths and works on strengthening my weakness. Always enjoy my sessions with her. She's very knowledgeable and joy to work with.
