What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is an emerging modality recognized globally for its effectiveness in supporting the nervous system and aiding self-regulation. Unlike conventional yoga practices, Yoga Therapy is uniquely tailored to address the whole person, taking into account their individual experiences and needs. Yoga Therapists undergo extensive training to understand and treat clients as complex beings rather than just physical bodies.
Yoga Therapy is not about teaching yoga poses; it's about harnessing the healing potential of yoga to improve function, enhance well-being, and promote overall health. Whether you prefer one-on-one sessions or the supportive environment of a small group or community practice, Yoga Therapy offers a safe and nurturing space for growth and transformation.
Somatic Yoga Therapy
The healthcare industry increasingly acknowledges the benefits of incorporating complementary and alternative medicine to treat a range of conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and gastrointestinal issues like Crohn's disease or IBS.
In addition to traditional yogic tools like postures, breathwork, and meditation, Yoga Therapy also integrates somatic practices to enhance the healing process. Somatic practices involve deepening awareness of bodily sensations, movements, and patterns, allowing for a more profound connection between mind and body.
Somatic Yoga Therapy offers a unique approach to holistic healing, allowing clients to access the innate intelligence of their bodies to facilitate transformation and growth. Whether it's through gentle movement, guided visualization, or mindful inquiry, somatic practices provide a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing.
What A Yoga Therapy Session Looks Like
When we work together, I am fully present with you, meeting you wherever you are in your journey.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, sadness, stress, or confusion, know that you are not alone.
My goal is to support your overall well-being, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and nurtured. Through our work together, I hope you experience love and compassion toward yourself.
Yoga Therapy is a holistic approach that applies the ancient wisdom of yoga to address individuals' needs across physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. As a Yoga Therapist, I work through the lens of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit.
Through customized sessions, Yoga Therapy offers a comprehensive toolkit that includes posture, breathwork, and meditation practices tailored to each individual's unique requirements. Unlike traditional yoga instruction, Yoga Therapy focuses on supporting individuals in finding relief from health conditions or symptoms that are troubling them.
