The yellow substance is typically **slough**—a viscous, fibrinous necrotic tissue ranging from pale yellow to tan that adheres loosely or firmly to the wound bed. Unlike clear serous drainage (a normal healing fluid), slough represents devitalized tissue that impedes healing and requires professional debridement to restore the wound's progression.
What does yellow slough mean in a wound?
**Yellow slough** indicates non-viable, necrotic tissue composed of dead white blood cells, fibrin, and cellular debris accumulating in the wound bed. It signals stalled healing—typically during prolonged inflammation—and creates a breeding ground for bacteria. Unlike healthy granulation tissue, slough impedes epithelialization and requires clinical intervention for proper wound progression.
Can you make money as a yoga therapist?
Yes. Experienced yoga therapists often charge upwards of $100–$150 per hour. Income depends on location, specialization, and whether one works in private practice (typically higher earning) or a public clinic.
Are yoga therapists in demand?
Yes, demand is growing rapidly. Public institutions, hospitals, and recovery centers are increasingly hiring yoga therapists as more research validates yoga's effectiveness for mental and physical health conditions.

Will insurance cover yoga therapy?
Currently, most yoga therapy is paid out-of-pocket, though coverage is expanding. Some HSA/FSA plans may cover it with a letter of medical necessity, and certain hospital-based programs or worker's compensation cases may include it.
How long does it take to become a yoga therapist?

How is yoga therapy different from yoga?

What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process that uses yogic tools—postures, breathwork, and meditation—to address specific physical, mental, and emotional health needs. Unlike a general yoga class, it focuses on the individual's unique health goals, often working alongside modern medicine.
