If you are dealing with chronic pain, stress, an injury, or you simply feel like your body and mind need more support than a regular yoga class offers, yoga therapy at Sal Yoga is built exactly for that. This is not a group class. It is a one on one approach shaped around your condition, your story, and your own pace of recovery.
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy addresses the root of the symptoms, not just the visible effects. Instead of a fixed sequence of poses, this approach starts from your specific situation, whether that is back pain, anxiety, sleep issues, or the effects of long hours of sitting. Your physical, mental, and energetic state are looked at together, and the practice is chosen to work on the cause, not only the symptom.
Who is yoga therapy for?
- People with chronic pain in the back, neck, or joints
- Those recovering from an injury or surgery
- People dealing with stress and anxiety
- Anyone for whom regular group classes do not work due to specific limitations
- People who want to understand their own body more deeply, not just follow instructions
What to expect in a session
The first session always starts with a conversation. Together we go through your history, current concerns, and goals before ever stepping onto the mat. From there, an individual plan is shaped, one that adapts session to session depending on how your body responds. The pace is always yours, with no pressure to reach a certain level.
Benefits of regular practice
- Reduced chronic pain and muscle tension
- Better mobility in joints and the spine
- A calmer nervous system and lower stress levels
- Greater awareness of your body and its signals
- Long term support for recovery, rather than temporary relief
Yoga therapy in Pula, why Sal Yoga
Sal Yoga is led by Tanja Nikolic, also known as Tarini Devi, a certified yoga teacher (E-RYT 500) based in the heart of Pula at Argonautska ul. 28. Years of experience working with people with different physical and mental needs shape an approach that is both professional and genuinely human, without rushing and without generic solutions.
If a group format interests you as well, take a look at our group yoga classes, and for a fully individual approach without the therapeutic focus, private yoga sessions are also available. For those who cannot make it to the studio, there is online yoga, while nervous system relaxation can be further supported through sound massage.
Frequently asked questions
Is yoga therapy suitable if I have never practiced yoga before?
Yes. Yoga therapy is fully personalized, which makes it just as suitable for complete beginners as for experienced practitioners.
How many sessions does it take to notice progress?
It depends on your condition and goal, but most clients notice a difference after just a few sessions, while deeper and more lasting effects build through regular practice.
Can I come if I have a diagnosed injury?
Yes, it is recommended to share relevant medical information before your first session so the program can be adapted safely.
Is this a replacement for physiotherapy?
No, yoga therapy is a complementary approach and works best alongside, not instead of, medical treatment when it is needed.
How long does one session last?
A standard session lasts around 60 minutes, depending on what is arranged.
Where do the sessions take place?
