FAQ

More about Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy (or therapeutic Yoga) is a process dedicated to the recovery and growth of your whole being. As a form of somatic therapy, it is highly complementary to any Western medical care you may receive. Through the lens of how Yoga views and interacts with the human system, you will become more skilled in recovering and maintaining health of mind, heart, and body.

A personalized Yoga Therapy program is developed collaboratively between you and your Yoga Therapist. Your personal practice is drawn from the 8 limbs of Yoga and may include postures, breathing techniques, healing meditation, imagery, chanting, personal study, or lifestyle recommendations. As Yoga is interested in your holistic wellbeing, your therapeutic practice can support your somatic, physiological, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

C-IAYT (Certified-International Association of Yoga Therapist) has a minimum of 1000 hours of training in the field of Yoga Therapy. This includes the minimum 200 hours of training required to be a yoga teacher plus an additional 800 hours of training that may include: therapeutically oriented philosophy, kinesiology, psychology, biomedicine, anatomy, pathophysiology, the adaptation of Yoga tools, and a clinical practicum.

1:1 Yoga Therapy sessions differ from general Yoga classes in the following ways:

Yoga Class
• Group setting
• General instruction of Yoga techniques
• Practice for an array of students
• Fitness-oriented (achieving postures)
• Limited individual adaptations
• Community energy and connection

Yoga Therapy Session
• 1:1 setting with the possibility for group support
• Therapeutic, trusted relationship
• Individualized, therapeutic intake
• Private work with specific concerns
• Practices tailored to your goals
• Self-empowerment for recovery and growth
• Building a knowledge base around Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy provides an opportunity to co-create a personal practice that helps empower you to find balance in all aspects of your life. Whether it be managing chronic pain, tools to help mitigate your anxiety, working through challenging emotions, or finding ways to cultivate peace in stormy times, there are endless challenges that our therapeutic yoga sessions can help address. I am passionate about sharing the transformative tools of yoga that have helped me along my healing path with people who don’t think they can “do yoga.”

My approach is centered around setting achievable goals, starting with small changes and gradually moving towards larger shifts that create positive movement in your inner landscape and ripple out to transform your outer world. I am here to be your supportive guide, helping you to celebrate the little and BIG victories along your journey. With a wealth of personal and professional experience, I have honed my expertise in various areas. These include mental well-being, nervous system regulation, recovery from substance misuse and disordered eating, nature therapy, trauma processing, and injury recovery. This diverse range of specialties, alongside my prospective licensure as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), will allow me to integrate these healing modalities and cater to a wide spectrum of client needs.

Why 1:1 Yoga? I have felt and seen how essential it is to speak the ugly, dark aspects of reality, be deeply heard, and receive tailored practices for: Recovery, Maintenance, and Growth. My priority is how the tools of Yoga revitalize your mind and heart (emotional, behavioral, and spiritual dimensions). Your experience is real. I am here for whatever is up, or down, for you.

Experiencing what I teach is my foundation. I began receiving Yoga Therapy in 2020, which evolved to 1:1 mentorship where my mentor designs my daily practices. Weekly, I study 6+ hours with advanced teachers to refine the teachings I share with you. What you receive is from a thoroughly tested tradition, not from my imagination.

Ongoing studies: principles + application of Yoga Therapy, principles + application of meditation, Patañjali’s Yogasūtra (philosophy), Bhagavad Gītā (dharma, devotion).
