Coming in Mid June 2024!
The initial yoga therapy session consists of an intake, assessment and goal planning. We will discuss your current health concerns, posture, range of motion and health goals. The remaining sessions consist of yoga movement, breathing techniques, meditation and mindfulness, affirmations, resources for at-home practice, holistic lifestyle practices, and evidence-based practices from biopsychosocial and spiritual models.
Yoga therapy can include core strengthening, somatic movements to reset neural pathways, body awareness techniques, vocalizing tonal vibrations, symbolic hand gestures, and holistic Ayurvedic practices for improved lifestyle and balance.
