🌿 Yoga Therapy
When we feel safe, seen, and supported, our physiology shifts toward regulation, creating the conditions for self-inquiry and allowing true balance to emerge.
My online therapeutic yoga offerings are rooted in genuine connection, deep listening, and compassionate support.
🌿 Personalized Approach
Through individualized yoga therapy sessions, I will guide you in regulating your nervous system, reconnecting with your body, and restoring balance on the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic level.
As we work together, you will deepen your connection to your authentic self - the calm, grounded, and wise part of you beneath the stress and overwhelm.
🌿 Holistic Support
My approach draws from the wisdom of yoga, ancient traditions and modern science.
Each session will be tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to find clarity, build resilience, and cultivate authentic sense of well-being.
I offer a caring and non-judgmental space where you can feel empowered to reconnect with your core values and move toward your goals.
About Me
⟡ Jelena V
I am a certified yoga therapist, yoga teacher, a scientist with background in biochemistry, and a personal understanding of the journey toward balance.
My career spans more than two decades, starting with scientific research and academia and including over 12 years of corporate medical roles across Canada, France, and Denmark.
Working within high-performance and demanding corporate environments gave me frequent exposure to the realities of nervous system overload and the challenges of maintaining my own sense of balance.
⟡ Yoga Therapy
Alongside my corporate career, I have spent close to a decade teaching yoga and practicing yoga therapy in both professional and personal settings, with extensive training in both traditional and integrative health approaches.
These lived experiences have shaped my perspective, inform my work and strengthen my ability to support others with clarity, steadiness, and insight.
I offer personalized yoga therapy that integrates evidence-based science with embodied therapeutic yoga practices and specialize in supporting those experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and significant life transitions.

What to Expect in a Yoga Therapy Session
Yoga therapy is a holistic practice that draws on the wisdom of yoga, current scientific knowledge, and nourishing therapeutic connection to help someone in difficult times. Yoga therapists employ an inquiry-based, non-prescriptive model to support human experience and response. Our practice is to listen.
You are unique. Even if you have the same health issue as someone else - your life, your body, mind, and spirit may be impacted in different ways.
Private therapeutic yoga sessions are tailored to your specific health needs and goals.
🌀 Intake & Goals
When we connect, you will complete a client intake form. Our first session explores your current health, well-being, and goals in depth in order to create a yoga therapy practice tailored to your needs and goals - including movement, breath work, meditation, visualization, and guided relaxation.
🌀 Personalized Practice
After the session, I will provide you with a home yoga therapy practice in the form of video recordings, audio recordings, or a document. Through practice, you will learn what a sustainable practice looks like for you and which tools are most effective for you.
🌀 Tracking Progress
At each subsequent session, we will assess and adjust your practice as you progress toward your goals. The number of sessions required to meet your goals will depend on the nature of your health condition and your goals.
