Yoga Therapy in Darch, Perth | Prasanna Chitta Yoga

Yoga therapy is the personalised application of yoga to a specific health goal. It begins with a clinical-style assessment of your health history, lifestyle, sleep, stress, breath patterns and range of movement. From that, we design a treatment plan and a home practice tailored to you — posture, breath, meditation and lifestyle guidance — and we adjust it across follow-up sessions as your situation changes.

It is different from a yoga class in three important ways. First, it is one-on-one rather than in a group, which means every element is for your situation specifically. Second, it works with a defined health goal — anxiety, back pain, sleep, perimenopause, chronic stress — rather than general fitness. Third, it is designed to work alongside medical care, not as a replacement for it. We routinely work with clients who are also seeing a GP, physiotherapist, psychologist or specialist.

At Prasanna Chitta Yoga, we draw on the Sri Sri School of Yoga lineage and apply it therapeutically. Our name reflects our purpose: Prasanna means happiness, and Chitta — per Patanjali — is the fourfold function of consciousness (mind, intellect, memory, ego). Our practice is designed to keep the Chitta in a state of equilibrium and ease.

Yoga therapy is well-suited to chronic, lifestyle-related and stress-mediated conditions. The most common reasons clients come to us are:

• Anxiety, low mood and chronic stress — nervous-system-calming postures, breathwork (pranayama), meditation
• Chronic lower back, neck and shoulder pain — postural work, mobility, breath-led movement
• Sleep difficulties — insomnia, racing mind, unrefreshing sleep; evening and morning protocols
• Perimenopause and women's health — hormonal shifts, hot flushes, sleep, mood, energy
• Prenatal care — trimester-safe practice, pelvic floor, labour preparation (from second trimester with GP clearance)
• Post-injury rehabilitation — restoring movement and confidence after physiotherapy or surgery
• Fatigue and burnout — gentle, restorative protocols rather than energetic flows
• Hypertension and breath-related conditions — pranayama, lifestyle, gentle movement
• NDIS goals — anxiety, chronic pain, mobility, neurodivergence, daily living capacity.

If your concern is not listed, please ask. Many clients have layered needs, and we will be honest with you about whether yoga therapy is likely to help.

The first session is 60 minutes and is built around understanding your situation thoroughly before any practice begins. We will ask about your health history, current concern, sleep, stress, breath, movement and lifestyle. We will assess range of motion and breathing patterns. We will discuss what you have already tried and what worked or did not. Then we will design and teach a tailored practice — typically 15–20 minutes — that you can do at home, with written notes.

The second session is two weeks later, where we observe your home practice, refine the technique and discuss progress. Most clients work with us for a series of 6 sessions over 6–8 weeks to address one defined goal. After that, some clients move to maintenance sessions; others come back for a different concern.
