Offering

Yoga Therapeutics is a specific and significant toolkit of practices that restores balance to the body, mind and emotions... the essence of you. In the practice of yoga lies a tremendous opportunity to develop the strength, breath, awareness, connection and coordination of it all to move through the ups and downs of life. ​

If coaching is a conversational way into forging new patterns of being and doing (top-down), yoga therapeutics is the bottom-up, body-based entry into the same intention.

In the process of forming your plan of care, you get to choose where we focus based on your interest and need. The practice couldn't possibly be more bespoke.

Please note: Our first session is a 75-minutes, conversational assessment that helps me, your facilitator, develop your plan of care for our future sessions together. It is key to know where we will should lean in practice to bring balance. Sessions after the initial assessment will be 60-minutes.

A few of our tools are:  ​​
  • Somatic Movement
  • New pain neuroscience coaching and application
  • Breath assessment, mechanics and technique
  • Movement and posture (yoga asana + functional mvmt)
  • Meditation (and other, less formal practices of presence)
  • Somatic Tracking 
  • Ayurvedic applications to movement to influence energetics
  • Mudra + Yoga Nidra
Yoga Therapeutics might be helpful if you’re experiencing: ​​​
  • Pain without an obvious cause and/ or lasting more than 3 months (chronic pain)
  • Pain after a structural injury (muscle/bone) has fully healed (mixed pain)
  • Pain that frequently changes location or correlates with stress
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Hypervigilance of body sensations
  • Chronic GI distress or autoimmunity 
  • Limited mobility
  • Hypermobility without EDS
  • Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
  • Low quality of life with or without diagnosis
  • Dislike for exercise
  • An influx of stress or long-term stress impact
  • Generally, not feeling like yourself
You'll learn how to: ​
  • Use your breath to support you every second of the day 
  • Change your relationship to pain + step out of the fear-pain cycle
  • Reprogram neuromuscular patterns and release chronic tension
  • Adjust your lifestyle and posture to support yourself
  • Move and exercise in a way you and your body enjoys and responds well to
  • Reconnect with joy and self-awareness
  • Re-learn how to rest (body and mind)
  • Reduce overwhelm and manage energy efficiently
  • Build interoceptive qualities (a fancy word for becoming aware of your inner world - and living from here)
  • Take better care of yourself everyday
