Yoga therapy and pain-aware movement in Marin County

Marin Pain & Movement helps people make sense of yoga therapy, movement options and local support when pain, injury history or mobility concerns make a general class feel too broad.

Start with pain or a condition

Back pain, sciatica, scoliosis, neck and shoulder concerns, and lower-extremity discomfort.

Understand yoga therapy

How individualized yoga therapy differs from a general class and what C-IAYT means.

Movement & recovery

Mobility, alignment, injury recovery and returning to movement thoughtfully.

Why individualized movement can matter

Yoga is generally considered safe for healthy people when practiced appropriately, but people with health conditions or previous injuries may need modifications. NCCIH advises people with health conditions to discuss individual needs with their healthcare provider and yoga instructor.

IAYT describes yoga therapy as a professional application of yoga principles and practices within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment and goal setting.
