Yoga Pain Management

How It Works

1. Free Consultation

A relaxed 15-minute call to talk about your pain, your history and what you want to resolve.

2. Your Personal Plan

Most people start with seated or supported movements and simple breathing. We start gently and scale intensity so you activate and never aggravate.

3. Practice and Progress

Private or small-group sessions across Palm Beach County and online, plus simple practices to use at home.

Ways to Work Together

Private 1:1 Sessions

One-on-one sessions built around you and your history, and designed to achieve your goals. Each one is paced to how your body feels that day, at a studio, your clubhouse or your home.

Questions & Safety

New to yoga, or worried it might hurt? Here are honest answers to the questions people ask most. Still unsure? Call 305-697-8162 or email support@1yogawellness.com.

Is this safe if I have chronic pain or arthritis?

Yes, it is designed for exactly that. Every session is adapted to your body and how you feel that day. We start with small, supported movements and gentle breathing, often seated, and only progress when your body is ready. If you have a specific diagnosis, recent surgery, or injury, we'll talk about it during your free consultation, and we encourage you to check with your doctor before starting.

I have never done yoga and can't get down on the floor. Can I still participate?

Absolutely. No experience is needed, and you never have to get on the floor. Most people begin seated in a chair or standing with support, like a wall or the back of a chair. Many of my students practice entirely in a chair and still feel real changes in comfort and mobility.

Will this replace my doctor or physical therapist?

No. This program is complementary to your medical care, not a replacement for it. Please keep seeing your doctor, physical therapist, and other providers, and follow their guidance. Many students find that gentle yoga and breathwork fit well alongside their treatment, and I'm happy to work within any limits your providers give you.

What if the movements increase my pain?

Then we stop, adjust, or try something different. You are always in charge of how far you go. Our rule is to activate, never aggravate: a mild, comfortable stretch is fine, but sharp, shooting, or increasing pain is a signal to ease off. We go at your pace, and there is always a gentler option. If pain persists after a session, let me know and check in with your doctor.

Do you work with people who have tried everything else?

Yes, many of my students come to me after years of doctors, medication, injections, or physical therapy. I can't promise a specific result, but I can offer a patient, whole-person approach that combines gentle movement, breathwork, and relaxation, adapted to you. Sometimes a slower, kinder approach is what finally helps the body respond.

What happens in the free 15-minute consultation?

It's a relaxed phone call with no pressure and no obligation. We'll talk about your pain, your history, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to get back to doing. Then I'll tell you honestly whether I think this program is a good fit and suggest a gentle place to start.

I'm older and not very flexible. Am I too old or too stiff to start?

Not at all. You don't need to be flexible to start; flexibility is something that grows gently with practice. Many of my students are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. We work with the body you have today, at your own pace, and celebrate small improvements in comfort, balance, and ease of movement.
