Taos Yoga Therapy

Specialties

Located in the heart of Taos, Taos Yoga Therapy specializes in small group classes, yoga therapy programs, classic yogic studies, and continuing education.

We provide one-​on-​one yoga consultations that honor the traditional teacher-​student relationship. These sessions are ideal for developing a personal yoga or meditation practice, or for addressing specific health challenges, such as chronic conditions, recovery from treatment or injury, and structural imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction.

Our group classes are inclusive and adapted to the requirements of each individual, so that students experience functional movements that are accessible and comfortable. This results in a balanced practice that promotes strength and stamina, flexibility, enhanced breath capacity, and mental steadiness.

Whether you are just discovering yoga, or have been a practitioner for many years, Taos Yoga Therapy is committed to meeting you where you are and supporting you in moving forward to who you want to be.

History

Established in 2014.

In the fall of 2014, Monique Parker opened Taos Yoga Therapy, a boutique yoga studio specializing in personalized instruction, therapeutic yoga, small group classes, and authentic yoga studies. Located in Central Station behind Dara Thai and La Bell Dry Cleaners, Parker’s goal is to provide an oasis for healing in the heart of downtown Taos. The facility has lush garden landscaping, ample parking, natural light, and because of its location just off the main drag in Taos, it also affords privacy and solitude.
