Therapeutic Yoga

Reconnect with Your Body.
Feel More at Home in It.
When your body feels like a battleground, even rest can feel unsafe.
Therapeutic Yoga offers a gentle, science-informed way to build a more trusting relationship with your body, support nervous-system regulation, and build inner resources without pushing or performing. This isn't about flexibility or perfect poses. It's about learning to feel more at ease inside your body.
Therapeutic yoga is provided in Christina’s capacity as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500).
It is distinct from counselling or psychotherapy and is not billed as a counselling service. When movement-based practices are incorporated into a clinical counselling session, this will be discussed through informed consent and documented and billed as counselling
PRACTISE WITH CHRISTINA
Yin 60 at YYOGA Lonsdale
Alongside one to one therapeutic yoga, Christina now teaches a weekly Yin class at YYOGA Lonsdale in North Vancouver. It is a slow, meditative practice with long held postures that target deep connective tissue and give the nervous system time to settle. All levels are welcome, and no counselling relationship is needed to join.
Booking and payment are handled by YYOGA.
What Is Therapeutic Yoga?
Therapeutic Yoga at Caspera Wellness is informed by Christina's clinical background, including concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). These frameworks shape a trauma-aware, nervous-system-sensitive approach to movement. They are not delivered as therapy within a yoga session.
Through slow, adaptive movement, breathwork, and somatic awareness, you'll build awareness of your body's signals, soften protective tension, and support new patterns of safety in your nervous system.
Concepts that inform this approach, offered as distinct clinical services:
Support for what you’re experiencing right now.
Chronic Pain, Tension,
or Fatigue
Learn gentle mind-body strategies that may support pain management, ease protective tension, and rebuild a sense of capacity in your body.
Trauma-Aware Support
& Emotional Overwhelm
Support your system in building awareness of stress and protective responses, grounding your body, and developing emotional regulation through slow, adaptive practices.
Nervous System Dysregulation
(Fight, Flight, Freeze)
Restore balance through grounding, breathwork, and mindful movement to help your body shift out of reactive states and return to safety and stability.
Burnout, Anxiety,
or Feeling Disconnected
Reconnect with your body through practices that gently interrupt overwhelm, support rest, and help you feel more present and anchored.
Feeling Disconnected from Your Body or Emotions
Learn to rebuild trust with your inner experience through mindful movement and somatic awareness, helping you feel more at home, attuned, and embodied.

What Is Therapeutic Yoga?
A Nervous System Approach
When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to know whether you need more calm, more energy, or simply a way to reconnect with yourself.
In this video, Christina explains how therapeutic yoga goes beyond physical postures, using breathwork, grounding, movement, and nervous system awareness to support emotional and physical wellbeing.
Rooted in trauma-aware care and neuroscience, this approach supports nervous-system regulation, eases overwhelm, and gently guides you toward a more grounded, connected state.
Whether you feel stuck in anxiety, shutdown, or chronic stress, therapeutic yoga offers practical tools to help you return to your truest self.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are designed to gently support your nervous system while caring for the parts of you that hold tension, pain, or overwhelm. Through intentional movement, breathwork, and somatic awareness, you'll build a sense of internal safety at a pace that feels right for you.
In our work together, we’ll explore:
Gentle, adaptive movement tailored to your body
Mindful breathwork to calm pain and stress responses
Somatic awareness and grounding practices
Reflection informed by IFS concepts, noticing the parts of you that resist rest or change
PRT-informed practices that support a calmer relationship with pain and stress signals
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Compassionate, body-based care to help you reconnect, regulate, and heal.
