Yoga 121 vs. Yoga Therapy 121: What’s the Difference?
Both Yoga 121 and Yoga Therapy 121 are individualised sessions that help you deepen your practice, but there are key differences in their approach and purpose depending on your goals.
Yoga 121
A Yoga 121 session is focused on teaching you yoga postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), and alignment in a way that supports the growth of your personal practice. It’s ideal for those who want to enhance their general yoga practice by improving flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. You’'ll be guided through a practice that fits your needs and goals, but it’s primarily centered around physical postures and flow.
Key Features of Yoga 121:
Focus on strength, flexibility, and alignment
Tailored to your fitness level and goals
Emphasis on asanas and breathwork
Yoga Therapy 121
A Yoga Therapy 121, is a more holistic, therapeutic approach to healing. It’s not just about learning asanas - it’s about prioritising your specific physical, emotional, and mental needs in a way that promotes overall healing and balance. Yoga therapy is ideal if you have chronic pain, stress, anxiety, injuries, or emotional challenges. In a yoga therapy session, we dive deep into assessing your unique needs including posture, mobility, breath, to create a tailored home practice that supports both your body and mind whilst fitting into your daily and weekly schedule. This could include a combination of asanas, breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness techniques to help you restore and heal on all levels.

Personalised for physical, emotional, and mental well-being
Integration of asanas, breathwork, and mindfulness into a home practice for therapeutic benefit
