Yoga Therapy can benefit everyBODY!
Over the years I've seen many of people discover yoga and benefit from their exploration and practice. As a teacher and yoga therapist, I work with a wide range of students and private clients. Clients include young, fit, able-bodied people, as well as those confined to a wheel chair; I teach the general population, as well as individuals dealing with PTSD, stress, anxiety, aging bodies or mobility issues, and offer classes for adults with mental illness. All of these individuals and groups enjoy and benefit from yoga in various ways.
Yoga & it's various practices include breathing techniques, meditation, lifestyle choices, physical postures, meditation and other spiritual practices. All of these can be drawn upon in order to tailor a practice that fits the individual and one's particular needs & goals.

Yoga Therapy can help those who’ve never tried yoga before.
Group vs Private Sessions:
Group yoga classes are great for general maintenance and for the enjoyment of practicing with others.
Private sessions are a good place to start your explorations into yoga, providing individual guidance and instruction to make your experience safe & enjoyable. There are so many styles of yoga available today and not every style is suitable for everyone. For those with particular issues to address, yoga therapy sessions are tailored to your specific needs, and what is appropriate for you, rather than you following a set class.
There are many reasons people choose to have a private session. Some are new to yoga and prefer to begin with a private teacher to become familiar and comfortable with yoga before beginning a group class; others want to work on posture, or toward healing an injury, others to deepen their yoga practice or for emotional or spiritual support and guidance, and others for lifestyle and diet recommendations. These days it's common for doctors to refer people to yoga to help with stress & anxiety, high or low blood pressure, chronic fatigue, menopausal symptoms and more.
What happens in a Yoga Therapy session?
After an initial intake and information gathering, I will design a program specifically for you. It may include pranayama (breath work0, yoga postures, meditation or lifestyle and diet suggestions, depending on your goals or issues. We will go over this together in your session and you'll be given a "yoga plan" & homework to follow between sessions. In exchange for your practice, you will soon begin to notice improvements - physically, mentally & emotionally. A regular yoga practice, even if only 10 minutes a day will help you feel more centered, balanced, light and joyful!
If you'd like to include yoga therapy as part of your practice of self-care, please contact me to set up an appointment. Sessions can be held at my home studio, in your home, or at a public yoga studio, depending on your needs.
My rates are below, and you can contact me through the "Contact" link above.
I look forward to hearing from you!
