Yoga and Breathing Therapy: Personalised Yoga and Pranayama for Wellness
Yoga and Breathing Therapy at Ayurhitam is a 60-minute one-on-one therapeutic yoga session personalised to your body, dosha, and current concerns. Priced at $100 per session, this is not a group yoga class. It is a considered, one-on-one therapy that combines specific yoga postures (asana), mudras ,breath practices (pranayama), and gentle movements chosen for your particular concern and constitution.
This session is often chosen by clients working through chronic stress, insomnia, back pain, hormonal imbalance, respiratory concerns or general Vata-Pitta-Kapha imbalance. It is also chosen by those recovering from illness, those preparing for or maintaining Panchakarma results, and those looking for a sustainable long-term self-care practice they can integrate into daily life.
What is Ayurvedic Yoga and Breathing Therapy?
Ayurvedic Yoga and Breathing Therapy is the classical application of yoga as therapy, guided by Ayurvedic principles. Rather than a fixed sequence of poses, each session is designed around your Prakriti (natural constitution), Vikriti (current state), the specific concern, your body’s current flexibility and strength, and your energy on that day. Yoga was born from the same Vedic tradition as Ayurveda, and the two systems fit together beautifully.
Ayurvedic Yoga and Breathing Therapy sessions include specific asana (yoga postures) sequences, pranayama (breathing practices), gentle warming or cooling movements as needed, mindful bandhas and mudras (gentle energetic engagements), and closing relaxation. Each element is chosen for your dosha and concern. Vata concerns need grounding, warming, slow practice. Pitta concerns need cooling, non-competitive, calming practice. Kapha concerns need energising, warming, activating practice.
How is Yoga and Breathing Therapy Done at Ayurhitam?
The session begins with a short assessment to understand your current state, current concerns, and how your body is feeling on the day of the session. Your Ayurvedic practitioner designs a session that fits both your dosha and your current energy. The session may include grounding practices, specific asana sequences, guided pranayama (like Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari, Sheetali, Ujjayi, or others), mindful movement, and closing relaxation in savasana.
Throughout the 60 minutes, the practitioner offers personalised guidance, adjustments, and cueing. Home practices are taught during the session so you can continue supporting yourself between visits. Clients typically leave a session feeling clearer, calmer, and more grounded, and often report deeper sleep and better energy on the day of the session.

Yoga is not always one-size-fits-all. Not every asana or breathing practice taught in a group setting may be suitable for every individual’s unique body and needs. In a personalized session, each stretch, asana, pranayama technique, duration, and pace is thoughtfully selected for you. The practitioner provides close guidance, appropriate modifications, and simple home practices to support continued progress.
Group yoga classes are wonderful for general fitness and well-being, while Yoga and Breathing Therapy offers a more individualized approach when you have specific concerns or require focused therapeutic guidance.
