Second Nature Yoga Therapy offers a person-centered alternative to mainstream therapies, supporting women with lifelong health conditions or in need of long-term therapy.

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.
For over twenty years, Second Nature Wellbeing for Life has provided individualized therapy for health, healing and recovery in Bloomington Indiana and surrounding areas—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.
The structure of 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.
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."
Multiple sclerosis affects 2.9 million people globally. Second Nature specializes in supporting women with MS, whether newly diagnosed or facing palliative care decisions.

The mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of being in nature have been written about since time immemorial—from philosophers to health practitioners—in every tradition, in every part of the world. No small surprise that science should now be "discovering" nature's physical and mental health benefits. Being in nature is a necessity for overall wellbeing.
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.
