Yoga Therapy in Spain: Private, One-to-One Yoga at Oasis Premium Recovery Rehab

Oasis Premium Recovery offers private yoga therapy in Spain for adults seeking calm, regulation, and steady change within a one-to-one setting. This guide explains how therapeutic yoga works at Oasis, who it helps, and how we integrate it with structured methods such as DBT, CBT, MET, and TRE. For a sense of environment and pace, visit The One-to-One Residence and Life at Oasis, or explore tailored stays through The Signature Experience.

What Is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy uses breath, gentle movement, and guided attention to support nervous system regulation and a kinder relationship with the body. The goal is not performance. It is steadiness, awareness, and skills that translate into daily life. Sessions are private, invitational, and paced to your capacity. We emphasise consent, predictability, and options at every step.

Why It Helps

Many people arrive with fast breathing, tense holding patterns, and a mind that will not switch off. Therapeutic yoga slows pace, widens attention, and teaches the body how to shift from stress to rest. When the body settles, talking therapy and skills work land more easily. This bottom-up support makes top-down approaches such as CBT and DBT more usable in real situations.

Who It Helps

Yoga therapy can help when you want practical regulation without pressure or performance:

• Anxiety, restlessness, panic cues, and sleep disruption
• Low mood, lethargy, and loss of motivation
• Trauma-linked patterns such as vigilance, shutdown, and numbness
• Alcohol use concerns and drug use where urges track with stress
• Eating concerns and body image distress where reconnection must be slow and respectful
• Perfectionism and OCD patterns where control has become exhausting

How Yoga Therapy Works at Oasis

We begin with a gentle assessment of breathing patterns, comfort, and stress load. Together we set two or three aims. Your practitioner builds a private plan that may include breathwork, small-range movement, balance work with supports, and guided rest. We coordinate with your one-to-one therapist so sessions reinforce the focus of your week.

• Breath first: low, slow nasal breathing with slightly longer exhales to settle pace.
• Gentle movement: simple positions and steady transitions that reduce tension without strain.
• Awareness cues: noticing sensations and posture with kindness rather than judgement.
• Guided rest: short, structured relaxations so the body relearns how to switch off.
• Daily integration: five to ten minute micro-sequences that fit real routines.

Safety, Consent, and Boundaries

You remain in control of pace and intensity. Touch is by consent only and not required. We offer hands-off guidance, options for chair-based practice, and frequent check-ins. If something feels too much, we adapt or pause. Energy levels, injuries, pregnancy, and health conditions are taken into account so the work stays safe and useful. Yoga therapy is complementary. It does not replace medical care or psychotherapy.

How It Integrates With Other Methods

We use yoga therapy to prepare the ground so other methods can work better:

• CBT: calmer body state makes thought work and behavioural experiments more accessible.
• DBT: breath and movement support emotion regulation and distress tolerance practice.
• MET: clearer interoception improves motivation decisions and follow-through.
• TRE: gentle release is easier when the body is settled and choiceful.
• Restorative adjuncts: timed well, Art Therapy, Sound Therapy, or Reiki can support engagement.

Applications by Presentation

Anxiety and Sleep

We slow breathing, soften shoulders and jaw, and use longer exhales with short holds only if comfortable. Expect fewer night-time wake-ups and easier mornings as routines take hold.

Low Mood and Loss of Drive

We use light activation and simple wins. Sequences are short, repeatable, and linked to existing habits to rebuild rhythm without pressure.

Trauma-Linked Patterns

Predictability and consent come first. We use invitational language, minimal cues, and options at every point. Sessions may be seated or supported on the mat. You set the pace. Many people find pairing this with TRE helpful when timing is right.

Addiction and Urges

We teach a two-minute reset for high-risk moments. Breath, a stable posture, and a brief redirect reduce urge intensity and duration. This supports actions agreed in MET and CBT.

Eating Concerns and Body Image

We remove appearance and performance from the process. The focus is safety, interoception, and trust. Movements are invitational and always adaptable. We coordinate with your wider plan on Eating Disorders Treatment when appropriate.

Props, Setup, and Accessibility

You do not need to be flexible. We commonly use a chair, blocks, cushions, straps, and a wall for support. Most sequences can be done fully chair-based. Clothing should be comfortable and warm enough for rest sections. If lying on the floor is not comfortable, we adapt everything to seated or supported standing work.

Two Sample Micro-Sequences

Morning 7 minute reset

1. Two minutes of low, slow nasal breathing with a slightly longer exhale.
2. Seated shoulder rolls and gentle neck turns, ten each side.
3. Chair-supported hip hinge and return, eight slow repetitions.
4. One minute of quiet sitting with attention on contact points.

Evening 10 minute wind-down

1. Three minutes of quiet side-lying or reclined rest with supported knees.
2. Gentle ankle circles and slow toe scrunches, twenty seconds each.
3. Breath with count of four in and six out for three minutes.
4. One minute of body scan from feet to head.

What a Private Session Looks Like

• Arrival and check-in: sleep, stress, comfort, and aims for the hour
• Settle and breathe: one to three minutes of low, slow breathing
• Gentle sequence: simple positions with clear options to pause or adapt
• Guided rest: short body scan or supported relaxation
• Home practice: a five to ten minute routine matched to your day

Measuring Progress Without Pressure

We track real-life signs: fewer stress spikes, shorter rumination windows, calmer evenings, smoother wake-ups, and improved follow-through on small tasks. You do not need big performances. Small, consistent wins matter most.

Weekly Rhythm and Pacing

A steady week may include two or three yoga therapy hours, one skills session such as DBT or CBT, and a short TRE block for regulation. If you need a softer start, we begin with breath and rest, then add movement as comfort grows. Evenings are kept simple to consolidate learning.

Programmes and Setting

Yoga therapy can anchor your stay or sit alongside focused therapy. Choose the pathway that fits your goals and responsibilities:

• The Foundation Retreat to stabilise routines and begin regulation
• The Restorative Path for steady progress with balanced support
• The Regenerative Stay for deeper change and consolidation
• The Signature Experience for the highest level of privacy and tailoring

If you prefer focused support without a full residential stay, see One-to-One Therapy in Spain. Selected bespoke services can be added when appropriate.

Self-check: Is yoga therapy a good fit for you?

• You want calmer breathing, steadier sleep, and fewer stress spikes.
• You prefer private sessions with clear options to pause or adapt.
• Your body feels tense or numb and you want a gentler way to reconnect.
• You want a short home routine you can keep doing on busy days.
• You are working on anxiety, trauma, addiction, or eating concerns and want body-based support that respects boundaries.

Aftercare and Continuity

Before departure we agree a simple plan for the first 30, 60, and 90 days. This includes a morning or evening micro-sequence, sleep-support cues, and scheduled check-ins. Longer-term options include Lifetime Aftercare, Lifetime Aftercare Support, and Life Skills and Relapse Prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience or flexibility?

No. Everything is adapted. The aim is comfort and regulation, not performance or shapes.

What if lying on the floor is not comfortable?

We can run full sessions using a chair, wall support, or bed. You choose positions that feel safe.

What if I feel anxious or dissociated?

We keep choices open and cues minimal. Pace is slow. Hands-off guidance is always available. You can stop at any time.

Is yoga therapy the same as a studio class?

No. It is private, invitational, and paced to your needs. The focus is regulation and daily function rather than performance.

Can this help with cravings or urges?

Yes. Brief resets that include breath and a stable posture can reduce the intensity and duration of urges. We align this with MET and your wider plan.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable clothing and layers for rest sections. We provide mats and props. If you prefer your own items, bring them.

Does this replace medical care or psychotherapy?

No. It is complementary. We integrate yoga therapy with one-to-one therapy and, when needed, with medical care arranged separately.

How often should I schedule sessions?

Most guests begin with two or three sessions each week, then adjust based on response and goals.
