Yoga Therapy

The goal is to be the very best version of yourself.

When you hear “holistic healing,” your eyes light up. Traditional talk therapy has not worked for you in the past. You tried, but it didn’t take you where you wanted to go.

Going to the doctor is always such a letdown because they hardly listen and tell you what you are experiencing is “normal” and “not to worry.” That answer doesn’t satisfy you.

Just because you had another trip around the sun does not mean you should feel like THIS – aches and pains, heaviness and fatigue. You’ve had enough!

To find balance, you recognize that all components of your life need addressing. Harmony comes on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Your mind and body lack a connection.

After yoga class, you feel terrific, but it hardly lasts throughout your day. You want to be able to get down and play with your kids on the floor or keep up with them as they run through the park.

Rather than over-reacting to the giant mess you walked into or biting your partner’s head off the moment they walk in the door, you want to visualize yourself stopping and breathing.

The person driving 20mph below the speed limit in front of you doesn’t have to drive you up the wall.

Perhaps, you have an injury that makes movement challenging, and you want to get back to the gym.

Maybe you are a high school athlete working on a range of motion, strength and endurance to get onto the D1 team for college.

Or, your diet sucks, and you know what you are eating is making you feel like complete garbage.

Connect with your body.

You’ve read how yoga improves mindfulness, circulation, lymph drainage, muscular strength, flexibility and overall quality of life. And you visualize yourself developing a consistent home yoga or meditation practice.

Yoga therapy combines lifestyle interventions, stress management tools, movement, breathing, visualizations, nutrition and changes to habitual thought patterns as a complementary approach to wellness.

Learn to find presence.

Maybe stress and anxiety feel like they have taken over, and you are finally ready to learn how to breathe.

It is unlikely that anyone has ever taken the time to teach you to breathe. Our breath is something we carry with us at all times, and it truly has the power to shift what we feel. Yet, many of us don’t use our breath to its total capacity.

In yoga therapy, you will learn different breathing practices to promote relaxation, increase energy and aid digestion.

There’s a breathing technique for everything you need!

Realize your full potential – make the connection.

Every single aspect of the human experience has the potential to be a source of healing and inspiration.

Our mental health and physical body are more closely connected than you can imagine. Yet, this fast-paced, western world prevents us from becoming mindfully aware of this connection. The hustle and bustle of daily life leave us flustered, overwhelmed and oblivious to what is happening within.

As humans, we store trauma and stress in the body throughout our lives. One of the most effective ways to promote healing is by combining breath and movement as one.

A licensed mental health therapist leads yoga therapy sessions. These sessions consist of the perfect blend of talk therapy, yoga pose sequences, guided meditations and exploration of potential lifestyle changes, all with a focus on you becoming the most powerful, graceful version of yourself.

We will develop specific strategies to incorporate into your daily life to match your goals. Through continuous evaluation of progress, we will make the changes to create sustainable change. Are you ready to thrive?
