Yoga Therapy in Arlington, MA
You may think of yoga as physical postures on a mat — but that's only one part of it. Yoga, in its full sense, is a complete approach to wellbeing.
Yoga Therapy draws on all of its tools: the postures (asanas), yes, but also breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, and yogic philosophy. Together, these support you as a whole person — body, breath, and mind.
I work one-on-one with each client here in Arlington, adapting every session to where you are and what you need.
Who I work with
I accompany people through a wide range of life challenges: stress, anxiety, depression, and the after-effects of trauma, as well as those living with or recovering from illness — including cancer survivors, long COVID, lymphedema, and chronic conditions.
My role is not to cure, but to help: to offer support, presence, and practical tools you can carry into your daily life.
How a session works
Each session is a calm, respectful space, shaped entirely around you. We begin with where your body and mind are today, and build a practice you can continue at home between our meetings.
My training
I trained in the 875-hour Yoga Therapy program at Breathing Deeply, studying under founder and lead teacher Brandt Passalacqua, and I am currently completing my practicum toward IAYT certification.
My approach integrates asana, pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy — a holistic path rather than a set of exercises.
What clients say
I had the chance to benefit from Sophie Perducat's support in therapeutic yoga for 12 months, and this experience has transformed how I manage anxiety. Sophie is always attentive, never judgmental. Thanks to her gentle and caring approach, she helped me identify and integrate daily routines tailored to my needs, combining yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises. These habits have allowed me to calm both my mind and body.
Over time, these practices have become valuable allies in my daily life. Today, I feel more serene and better prepared to handle stressful situations. Even better, I haven’t had an anxiety attack in a year.
I highly recommend Sophie’s guidance to anyone looking to better manage their anxiety through natural and accessible methods. Laurent M.
