the method

This is not your typical yoga class!

Unlike many forms of yoga, the goal of the Therapeutic Yoga Method isn’t to push the body into extreme or contorted poses, but to support natural ranges of flexibility, mobility, and movement.

By combining functional movement with the intelligent use of weights and props, the Therapeutic Yoga Method makes it possible for people of all ages, abilities, and levels of fitness to safely discover their body’s full potential.

Posture, mobility, strength and balance.

In today’s world, a sedentary lifestyle often leads to lost mobility, poor posture, high stress, and even chronic pain.

  1. Improve posture with poses and movements that counteract screen-related slouching, kyphosis, and rounded shoulders.

  2. Learn to move your joints and muscles freely, easily, and with active control.

  3. Build muscle, stability, endurance and bone health through progressive overload.

  4. Learn how to keep your body more upright and steady whether you are standing still or moving.

Ayla Sarnoff

Founder & Teacher

At age 15, Ayla was seriously injured in an ATV accident that left her with a broken ankle, restricted mobility, and chronic pain. Yoga became the path to recovery and helped her regain movement, rebuild strength, and experience her body’s innate capacity to heal.

After more than a decade of developing the Therapeutic Yoga Method, Ayla fulfilled a longtime dream and opened Clarity of Heart Yoga Studio in August 2023. Through her work, she has helped thousands of people improve their posture, reclaim their strength, and discover the healing potential of yoga and strength training.

Chrystin Aponte

Teacher

Chrystin began her yoga journey in October 2023 when she took her first class at Clarity of Heart studio. It was at that time that she discovered her mobility restrictions and experienced firsthand the positive changes yoga brought to her life. Within months of practicing, Chrystin was “hooked” on yoga and began practicing many different styles. Within a year, Chrystin added strength training to her routine and never looked back.

After witnessing the incredible upgrades in her physical, mental and emotional health, due to yoga and strength training, Chrystin now feels compelled to share the benefits she has received with her students.
