Our Services
Specialized
Physical Therapy
Healing from an injury or illness is a highly personal experience. The Roots approach is to treat the whole person rather than an individual body part. Our practice supports common complex orthopedic conditions, such as sprains and strains and lower back pain, as well as specialized physical therapy such as pelvic floor therapy.
Specialty Yoga Classes
Designed to meet all abilities and comfort levels, our
specialty yoga classes range from exploring movement in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our classes are all beginner friendly and accessible to all bodies. Specialty classes include core and pelvic floor-focused yoga, strength and mobility, restorative yoga, mat pilates, queer yoga, kundalini yoga for stress relief, community yoga (by donation), restorative yoga, yoga for healthy aging, and yoga therapy.
Our yoga instructors are trained to teach students of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and health histories in a trauma-attuned, safe and enjoyable way.
