Yoga Therapy for Long Covid in Arlington, MA

Symptoms I Work With

Balance problems and dizziness, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, fatigue and post-exertional malaise, breathlessness and dysfunctional breathing patterns, palpitations and dysautonomia (including POTS), disrupted sleep, and the anxiety that often accompanies a long recovery.

Pacing, Not Pushing

If you experience post-exertional malaise, conventional progressive exercise can set you back for days or weeks. We work well below that threshold, with breath retraining, gentle positional work, and very gradual increases only when your body signals it's ready.

Balance and Vestibular Work

Balance work after Covid, as I practice it, is neurological rather than purely muscular — cross-body neurological integration and proprioceptive retraining, combined with breath and pranic awareness, to reorganize how the brain sequences movement. It's slow, precise work, and the results can be striking.

A Real Case Study

My work with Bill, a client whose balance had been severely disrupted for months — to the point of walking, in his words, like a drunk person — was the subject of a case study with my school, Breathing Deeply. His physician had ordered an MRI, ruled out anything structural, and sent him home without a treatment plan. Two months of a fifteen-minute daily yoga therapy practice built on breath, cross-body integration, and focused attention restored his balance completely, and it has not returned since. You can read the case study and listen to the conversation with Bill and Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua here: Yoga Therapy for Balance Dysfunction — A Real Client Case Study.

Meditation and Yoga Nidra

Sessions also draw on meditation and yoga nidra. I'll explain how yoga nidra works on the nervous system and point you to selected recordings you can use at home between sessions.
