What is Yoga Therapy?
While most yoga classes have general therapeutic benefits, yoga therapy is uniquely catered to your specific health goals and needs. Rather than molding yourself to a prearranged class, each session is built upon a personal assessment of your physical, emotional and psychological needs.
As your professional yoga therapist (1000hr) I select, adapt and modify the practices of yoga to create a personalized program to support your optimal health.
What to Expect
The yoga therapy process begins with an initial consultation, typically 75mins, which may include an intake questionnaire, assessment of breathing, posture, and range of motion.
In follow up sessions (50mins) we will use a range of techniques based on our check in for that day and your overall wellness goal including:
yoga postures
breath work practices
guided meditation
somatics & functional movement
affirmation and intention setting
ayurveda lifestyle tips
lifestyle consultation
intuitive coaching'
mindfulness and relaxation techniques
Along the way you will receive “homework” to practice on your own and practical tools to support your life beyond the yoga mat.
What Clients Say…
“ Thanks again Malaika! My awareness has heightened tremendously and I don't take that for granted. I wish women who are in turmoil with themselves, for whatever reason, can take advantage of your services so you can assist them on their path. As a yoga therapist your listening ear and right choice of words always made me feel heard. On my journey to 35, I recognized that I had some surviving patterns that I didn't want anymore. Our work together helped me understand what tools I can use to be a better being. You have sow this seed into me that I feel obligated to share with my friends who may need your coaching! Gratitude and Blessings. ”

What Clients Say…
“You are an amazing yoga therapist and a phenomenal woman! I look forward to each of our virtual sessions and leave refreshed each time. You have been such an incredible help to me. Your genuine interest in my well-being, the personalised care that you provide, the tools that you equip me with, and your constant but gentle testing of what I perceive as my physical and emotional limitations have been the boost I needed to finally make my overall well-being a top priority. With your guidance I am more comfortable with testing my self-imposed limitations and now more readily invite growth. I sincerely thank you. Namaste.”

“Malaika had us at Namaste. We are so thankful for our practice and the peace of mind that it provides us throughout our hectic lives. We started practicing with Malaika in late 2018. Getting to know our yogi has been so great and she always keeps things fresh and evolving. Malaika is very great at checking in with you and trying to understand where you are at in the moment and then adapt the class for maximum personal benefit. Hung over….no probs. Tired….she’s got you. Sizzled…..she will unscramble your brain!
Covid shocked us all and changed all of our worlds quite literally. We were so thankful to be able to embrace the online zoom yoga action and keep going with our yoga therapy. It is like therapy and it is life to us. The meditation component keeps us grounded and focused, the physical component keeps us energized and moving.
We are so thankful to our Yogi and would highly recommend her special brand of personalized yoga that is balanced and well rounded.”
