Yoga in Huntington
You don't need to be flexible to start. Therapist-informed yoga rebuilds mobility, calms tension, and teaches you to move with control, no matter where your body is starting from.
What is yoga at Universus?
Yoga here isn't a studio class borrowed from somewhere else. It's a therapist-informed session built around mobility, controlled breathing, and body awareness, led by someone who understands how your body actually moves, not just how a pose is supposed to look. Poses get modified for the injury you're managing, the stiffness you're working through, or the range of motion you're still rebuilding. Nothing is one-size-fits-all, because your body isn't either. That distinction shows up the moment you walk in. Instead of being told to push into a shape that doesn't fit your body today, you're guided toward the version of the pose that actually serves you, with cues that come from clinical training, not just a certification weekend.
Yoga works well alongside rehab, not instead of it. Once you've finished physical therapy or you're managing something ongoing, yoga gives you a way to keep building the mobility and control you worked hard for, while also addressing the stress and tension that show up in the body just as much as any injury does. It's the difference between finishing physical therapy and stopping, or finishing physical therapy and continuing to build a sustainable relationship with how you move. Controlled breathing does real work here too, calming a nervous system that's been bracing for pain long after the pain itself has eased.
Who it's for.
Yoga at Universus is for real bodies, not just flexible ones. These are the people who get the most out of it.
Wrapping up physical therapy
You've finished rehab and want to keep building the mobility and strength you worked for. Yoga bridges the gap between discharge and going it completely alone.
Dealing with stiffness or stress-related tension
Your body holds tension in ways stretching alone hasn't fixed. Guided breathwork and movement address both the physical tightness and the stress underneath it.
Wanting mindful movement that respects your body
You want a practice guided by someone who actually understands injuries, not a class that expects you to keep up regardless of what your body is dealing with.
What to expect in a session.
Sessions are paced to your body, not a class script. Here is how a typical hour unfolds.
Check-in on how you feel
Every session starts with a quick conversation about how your body is doing that day, so poses and pacing adjust to you, not the other way around.
Guided breath and movement
You move through poses modified to your body, with breathing cues that help you settle in and actually feel the work, not just go through the motions.
Close and body awareness
Sessions end with a few minutes of stillness and body awareness, so you leave the room as calm as your body is.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. A mat is provided, or bring your own if you prefer. No yoga experience necessary, just a willingness to move at your own pace.
I love going to Universus and getting 1-1 physical therapy from Alex. She gave me 8-10 knee and 8-10 back exercises… My improvement has been incredible in a short time.
