Therapeutic yoga in McMinnville with Jocela Mae

Adjusted to your body, whatever shape it is in today.

Built for bodies other classes can't serve

Chronic pain, fatigue, stiffness and injury belong here. If a regular class is not safe for you, this room was built for you

Adjusted to your body

Jocela adapts every movement to your structure, ability and mood on the day — that is what makes these classes different

Body mechanics, not contortion

Slow, gentle movement to build strength, mobility, coordination and balance. Rests are encouraged

Weekday mornings, $15

Classes run Monday through Friday, 8:40–9:40am. Drop in for $15 — no membership, no commitment

What to expect

Yoga as therapy, not performance

Crawford Wellness yoga is guided by body mechanics rather than dogma.

Jocela trained in the evidence-based wing of the yoga world, including ongoing study with Laurel Beversdorf in New York City

Every pose is adjusted to each person's unique body structure, ability, and attitude.

Anyone recovering from life's injuries, caring for an aging body, or needing nervous system balancing.

Jocela Mae Crawford, RYT

Jocela's teachings center on strength and trust giving all her students freedom to listen and move. Though a lifetime practitioner of yoga, she completed her formal training in 2010 in her hometown at the Shasta Yoga Institute under yoga therapist Amy Cooper. Since then she has pursued deep study of yoga and biomechanics with teachers up and down the West Coast and with Laurel Beversdorf in New York City — one of yoga's leading evidence-based movement educators. She works alongside local physical therapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists as a team to all that come to her classes. Jocela provides so much more than just yoga- it is yoga as therapy.
