Yoga therapy

Rooted in ancient wisdom, Yoga Therapy for emotional health and healing is a time-honored approach that supports optimal health and wellbeing. It is an approach that explores root causes of suffering while honoring your multidimensionality, so that we can create an individualized care plan that will support healing at the source.

Yoga therapy blends asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), mudra, visualization, and somatic practices to support nervous system repair, emotional resilience, and spiritual healing. When you feel deeply nourished and resourced within yourself, it becomes easier to choose and cultivate relationships that are aligned and nourishing.

Yoga Therapy for holistic health: Healing Mind and Body

What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is a specialized practice that integrates evidence-based approaches with the ancient wisdom of yoga. It goes beyond physical movement to address the mind-body connection, using techniques like:

•  Gentle movement and posture

•  Breathwork (pranayama)

•  Mindfulness and meditation

•  Body awareness

•  Nervous system tending

While general yoga classes can be therapeutic, yoga therapy focuses on tailoring these tools to address specific challenges with an individualized approach, whether you're seeking relief from stress, anxiety, chronic pain, or simply seeking balance in your life.

Yoga therapy meets you where you are, helping you discover the inner resources to feel better, live better, and thrive. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, or connect to your body in an empowered way, yoga therapy offers a gentle yet transformative path to health.

While I love teaching group yoga classes, I have found deep fulfillment through working with students and clients one-on-one.
