What is Yoga Therapy?
The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), says that Yoga Therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga.

At Something Positive for Positive People, Yoga Therapy is offered as a one-on-one support option for people navigating herpes stigma more from an inside out perspective. Oftentimes people reach out to learn to engage with others and communicate about their status, which we help with for sure, but that need just falls to the wayside when we deal with herpes stigma at the core, internally.

Why Yoga Therapy for Herpes?

Yoga has helped me personally not just in minimizing herpes outbreaks to three total since 2013, but in transforming my relationship with herpes stigma. It taught me how to identify imbalances in my mind, emotions, body, and most importantly, in my nervous system. That’s often where our challenges with outbreaks, beliefs, and behaviors begin.

These sessions are about noticing where those imbalances exist and applying tools from yoga to gently return to a stable baseline. When your nervous system finds its rhythm, it becomes easier to minimize herpes outbreaks, recognize misaligned relationships or behaviors, and move with clarity and confidence again.

What to Expect

Yoga Therapy sessions are 60 minutes long and personalized to what you need most. Some elements we may include:

Reflective conversation
Journaling prompts
Breathwork to regulate emotions
Gentle movement
Meditation and stillness
Visualization to support nervous system balance

The goal isn’t to “get good” at yoga. The goal is to reconnect with yourself through presence aside from your herpes diagnosis.

Thank You for Your Submission – Let’s Dive Deeper!

Hi there,

Thanks so much for filling out the intake form and for giving us a glimpse into your journey. We really appreciate your openness and willingness to share some initial details with us. It’s a great first step!

Here’s what comes next: We’ll set up a time for a phone call to chat more about your specific challenges and what you’re hoping to achieve with yoga therapy. We keep our forms brief on purpose to make it easy to get started. Then, we move on to a more detailed conversation via a video call. This allows us to delve into the finer details of your experience in a way that’s just more personal and effective than a form could ever be.

During our call, we’ll talk about everything from your daily routine and any physical tension you might be feeling, to your previous experiences with yoga and how you manage stress. We’ll also discuss any health conditions you're managing and how you spend time doing the things you love. Think of it as a friendly interview that helps us craft the perfect yoga therapy plan tailored just for you.

We're excited to connect with you soon and are grateful that you're considering us to support you on this path. We’re here to help you feel your best!

Warm regards,

Courtney W. Brame
