The practice of Yoga Therapy is highly effective in bringing a balance to the systems of the body. Yoga Therapy is not a treatment as such, nor is it aligned with any medical system or practice. Rather, Yoga Therapy allows people to access the healing benefits of yoga through the use of props, support and specialised sequencing.

Marrickville Yoga Centre runs specialised Yoga Therapy classes with principal teachers, Simon Joannou and Hasu Opa Clark. They have been helping students with injuries and chronic illnesses through their extensive knowledge in this field for over 20 years.

We also offer training and mentoring for teachers in Yoga Therapy – click here to learn more.

Yoga Therapy can be of benefit to new or existing students who have ongoing health issues, chronic illnesses, acute injuries and are recovering from treatment or surgery.

It is suitable for people with no yoga experience who are looking for an alternative approach.

Some common ailments which bring people to Yoga Therapy include - arthritis, anxiety, back pain, cancer, circulatory disorders, diabetes, depression, fatigue, immune disorders, heart conditions, migraines and thyroid disorders to mention a few.

Our Yoga Therapy – Personal sessions run every Friday at 10am. Click here to book.

Our Yoga Therapy program includes the following:

Yoga Therapy Group Classes - classes with a number of students practicing the same program.

Yoga Therapy Personal Classes - more personalised classes, where a small number of students are going through a program for their own specific needs, with one-on-one support.

If you are unsure which Yoga Therapy approach is right for you are your circumstances, please speak to one of the teachers at the Centre or email us at info@marrickvilleyoga.com.au

In these classes we use specialised programs and props to help students who suffer from common issues. The classes include the following:

General Therapy on Wednesday at 4.45pm with Hasu

Neck & back on Thursday at 4.45pm with Simon

These classes are not suitable for students who already have a chronic issue and ongoing pain. We recommend that these students attend our Yoga Therapy - Personal Class on Fridays at 10am.

These classes are considered part of our regular timetable, and attendance is included in all standard class passes and memberships.

These classes include a one-on-one consultation with our principal teachers, Simon or Hasu, during which a personalised program is prepared for you based on your individual circumstances.

Classes will have multiple students attending, with everyone working on their own sequence, supported individually by a teacher or trainee teacher.

Bookings are essential – to book click here. The cost of a Yoga Therapy – Personal class is $80.
