In 2009 Dr. Kofman founded The Yoga Way Therapy Center, a private practice in Morristown, NJ with a focus of providing Yoga Therapy services to children and adults. She has had the opportunity to study with amazing yoga teachers including Sonia Sumar, Jilian Pransky, Richard Miller, Eddie Stern and Deepak Chopra.The Neuro-integrative therapy she utilizes incorporates breathwork, positioning, alignment, nervous system regulation, Myofascial Release Therapy and Bio-Mechanical Bodywork. Her work is rooted in the belief that the body holds profound wisdom—and that healing happens when we create the right conditions for safety, connection, and presence. Over the years, she has supported clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including sensory processing differences, anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and chronic tension. Dr. Kofman brings together a trauma-informed, neurodevelopmentally sensitive approach with hands-on bodywork and nervous system education. Her background blends the science of biomechanics and neurology with the art of somatic healing, and she tailors every session to the individual’s unique story, goals, and nervous system state. Whether Dr. Kofman is co-regulating with a child on the floor or guiding an adult through gentle breath and release, she works with the deepest respect for the body’s pace and process. This work is not about fixing—it’s about listening, attuning, and supporting lasting transformation from within. Dr. Kofman is a published author and researcher with an interest in Pediatric Yoga as an intervention for the reduction of symptoms of anxiety, hyperactivity and depression in children and adolescents. Dr. Yana Kofman is a member of an APTA, NJPTA, and IAYT and a Licensed Practitioner of Yoga for the Special Child. |
