What is Yoga Therapy?
“ clients are usually not coming to learn yoga, but to get help with or relief from some symptom or health condition that is troubling them. In most cases, the instruction focuses on their condition and how the yoga techniques can help them feel better or improve their function, rather than on the techniques or methods of yoga practice.”
—Gary Kraftsow, C-IAYT
“It’s all yoga—the difference is in the application, the yoga therapist serves as a guide or mentor on a client’s journey of self-discovery, offering them tools to use as they’re ready. We become a witness to their healing process and their unfolding as a human being.”
— Mary Northey, Dean of the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy (KSIYT)
What Clients are Saying…
“...love the classes, appreciate the information and guidance we receive on physical and emotional wellbeing and the joy Cookie brings to our lives!”

“My wife and I first met Cookie Connolly in 2013, and she remains a friend to this day. She has demonstrated the gift of being able to relate to people of all ages, and remains a good advocate for the elderly. Cookie is a warm and sincere person who follows through on her commitments and values friendships. She has a strong faith and was very supportive when my wife passed. I enjoy spending time with her.”
– David M.H.
“I have learned by working with Cookie how to take care of my body. She has been invaluable and because of her I am not in a wheelchair.”
