Yoga therapy sessions with a C-IAYT yoga therapist are provided in Bloomington Indiana and the Indianapolis area for women living with a neurological condition such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, managing chronic pain, undergoing cancer treatment or in recovery, and for therapeutic rehabilitation.
Second Nature Wellbeing for Life has offered individualized therapy for health, healing and recovery in Bloomington Indiana, Indianapolis, and surrounding areas for twenty-five years—ensuring access to therapy for those who find movement challenging, are easily tired due to illness, or require in-home therapy due to injury or disability.
Women with health challenges are more than a sum of their symptoms or diagnosis—they are actively engaged in life and living. We encourage and support our clients as individuals on a life continuum, providing compassionate therapy which is safe, beneficial, and appropriate to their current abilities and changing health circumstances. ​

second nature: an acquired, deeply ingrained habit, characteristic, or skill—so deeply fixed as to seem part of a person's nature.
Second Nature supports women through individualized yoga therapy and lifestyle therapy. Mental health and emotional resilience, physiological soundness, healthful and nourishing eating habits, as well as our relationship with others and ourselves, are each a component of yoga therapy.
We specialize in supporting women with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and early onset Parkinson's. Learn more about Second Nature's comprehensive approach to therapy for MS, Parkinsons, ALS, and more.
According to the National Institute of Health, "Pain is one of the leading reasons Americans turn to complementary health approaches such as yoga ... which may help manage pain and other symptoms that are not consistently addressed by prescription drugs and other conventional treatments."
Integrated therapies support our clients through an open-minded approach. Each therapy program considers the individual as a whole—age, health, motivation to help oneself, type of condition or injury, degree of illness, level of recovery, and overall physical and mental state will be factors in creating an in-home, customized therapy program which is beneficial and sustainable.
The benefits of being in nature have been known since time immemorial. Whether restoring emotional balance, or as a gentle means to regain strength of spirit or body after a protracted illness, the outdoors is a source of healing. Walk and talk therapy (or walk and roll as some of our clients call it) combines aspects of wellbeing which are often overlooked: discussion, reflection, and natural settings.
In-Home Support
In-home therapy, caregiving, health advocacy, and companion care for women of all ages is provided by a therapist who, first and foremost, endeavors to make life a bit easier, and more accessible, for fellow human beings. Healing and wellbeing come from more than clinical and pharmacological interventions, whether it is compassionate, practical support, companionship, or solace.
It is our hope and intention to bring awareness of the scope of yoga therapy and neurosupportive care to anyone who may wish to know more: those living with a neurological condition, caregivers, advocates, organizations, and the spectrum of health care providers and practitioners with backgrounds in mental health, physical rehabilitation, palliative care, and more.
