Yoga Therapy at OM

Where Movement, Breath, and Healing Come Together

Yoga Therapy is a gentle, evidence-informed approach to health and wellness that uses the therapeutic principles of yoga to support specific physical, mental, and emotional health concerns.

Unlike a traditional yoga class, Yoga Therapy is highly individualized. Each session is designed around you—your body, your goals, your challenges, and your unique life experiences.

At its heart, Yoga Therapy recognizes that true well-being is created when the body, mind, and nervous system are working in harmony.

Through intentional movement, breathwork, mindfulness, guided relaxation, and therapeutic yoga practices, Yoga Therapy helps restore balance, cultivate resilience, and support the body’s natural capacity for healing.

Meet Tamara

Yoga Therapy at OM is led by Tamara Cormier.

With a degree in Kinesiology and more than a decade of experience helping people move, heal, and feel better in their bodies, Tamara brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge, movement expertise, and compassionate care to every session.

Her extensive understanding of biomechanics, movement patterns, and functional anatomy allows her to thoughtfully adapt each session to the individual sitting in front of her.

Patients often comment not only on her knowledge, but on her warmth.

“It feels like I’ve known Tamara forever. She makes you feel so comfortable right from the start.”

Her ability to create a safe, welcoming environment is one of the many reasons patients continue to return.

More Than a Yoga Class

While Yoga Therapy is rooted in the philosophy and practices of yoga, it is very different from attending a group yoga class.

Sessions take place one-on-one and are tailored specifically to your needs.

Depending on your goals, your treatment may incorporate:

• Therapeutic movement
• Breathwork
• Meditation
• Guided imagery
• Nervous system regulation techniques
• Mindfulness practices
• Yoga postures adapted for your body
• Relaxation and recovery strategies

Every technique is selected with intention, helping support your physical and emotional well-being while meeting you exactly where you are.

There is no expectation to be flexible.

No expectation to “perform.”

No expectation to look a certain way.

Only an invitation to reconnect with yourself.

Yoga Therapy Is for Every Body

One of the most common misconceptions about yoga is that you need experience, flexibility, or a certain level of fitness to begin.

You don’t.

Yoga Therapy is accessible, adaptable, and suitable for people of all ages and abilities.

No prior yoga experience is required.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, navigating a health condition, experiencing stress, or simply looking for a more intentional way to care for yourself, Yoga Therapy can provide meaningful support.

Common areas of focus include:

• Injury recovery
• Acute and chronic pain
• Pregnancy and postpartum support
• Pelvic floor health
• Stress and burnout
• Anxiety and mood concerns
• Digestive health
• Age-related changes and discomfort
• Strength and mobility
• Body awareness and movement confidence
• Nervous system regulation

And so much more.

A Whole-Person Approach

At OM, we believe health is never just physical.

The way we move affects the way we feel.

The way we breathe affects the way we think.

The way we manage stress affects nearly every system in the body.

Yoga Therapy acknowledges these connections and gently supports the whole person—not just isolated symptoms.

This holistic perspective makes it a beautiful complement to many other healthcare services, including physiotherapy, counselling, osteopathy, massage therapy, and naturopathic medicine.

An Integrative Approach to Care

Tamara frequently collaborates with members of our physiotherapy team, creating a seamless experience for patients seeking additional support through movement, rehabilitation, and nervous system regulation.

This collaborative approach is one of the many things that makes healthcare at OM unique.

We don’t simply treat conditions.

We support people.

Insurance Coverage

Yoga Therapy sessions with Tamara may be billed under Kinesiology and are often covered by extended health benefit plans.

We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding your individual coverage.

Begin With a Conversation

Not sure if Yoga Therapy is right for you?

We invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with Tamara to learn more about the process, discuss your goals, and discover whether Yoga Therapy feels like the right fit.

It’s a relaxed, no-pressure opportunity to connect, ask questions, and explore your options.

A Space to Feel Better

One of Tamara’s long-time students shared:

“I have been attending Tamara’s classes for almost a year now. The studio has a very calm atmosphere, with soft lighting, beautiful plants, and a welcoming energy. Tamara’s background in kinesiology gives her a deep understanding of body mechanics, and she always helps us find the right positioning for our individual needs. I truly enjoy every class.”

At OM, Yoga Therapy is more than movement.

It’s an opportunity to slow down.

To breathe.

To reconnect.

To find balance in a world that often asks us to move too quickly.

And to remember that healing doesn’t have to be forceful to be transformative.

We look forward to meeting you.
