Yoga Therapy is a self-empowering process that integrates the technical, therapeutic and spiritual applications of yoga & Ayurveda with an in-depth understanding of western anatomy, physiology and body-mind psychology, in order to stimulate, and maintain an optimum state of health.
All private yoga therapy sessions are trauma informed, and provide a safe, supportive container for you to progress towards increased health and well being.
Your initial visit will include a thorough intake, and assessment. Follow-up sessions can be focused towards exploring how the practices of yoga can clarify and address your unique needs, and goals, as well as on developing and maintaining a personalized, daily practice (sadhana).
Sessions are an invitation to explore cultivating attitudes and actions that support your natural healing process, and to release attitudes and actions that do not. As a holistic approach to healing, yoga therapy recognizes the deep inter-connectedness of your body, psyche and spirit. Creating awareness is the first step to cultivating change in your body and mind. Through deepened self-awareness and increased self-knowledge, you become empowered with the skills necessary to transform and heal your body, mind and spirit.
“Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga.”
