About - Subtle Yoga

Yoga is for Everybody & Every Body!

There’s a growing realization that yoga is not just for the flexible.

If you are looking for a style of yoga that thinks (and moves) outside the box, you’ve come to the right place.

A sustainable yoga practice adapts to our varying needs depending on our health, lifestyle, age and energy.

Subtle® Yoga is a broadly applicable, person-centered approach to yoga practice which can be tailored to differing body types/physical abilities and various contexts – from mental illness to public health. Subtle® Yoga incorporates six key processes: mindful movement, breathing practices, meditation, awareness of values/ethical engagement, spiritual development and service. Together these practices promote attention, mindfulness, body awareness, self-regulation, resiliency, self-actualization and pro-social behavior. Subtle® Yoga calms the nervous system, improves breathing, increases the body-mind connection, and is trauma-informed. It is a holistic intervention which can complement and enhance traditional healthcare approaches through health promotion, prevention, treatment or aftercare/recovery, from the individual through the population health level.
