YOGA THERAPY PRACTICES

AYURVEDA

To soar is to thrive. Defined as the knowledge of living, or the science of longevity, Ayurveda encourages the body’s own capacity to find and maintain balance while preventing imbalance. This practice of self-exploration is valuable for everyone. It optimizes the inner movement of your own body’s energies for health and well-being.

MINDFUL BREATHING

To soar is to ride the breath. Practicing regular, mindful breathing can be calming, as well as energizing. It has been used to address anxiety, depression, grieving, anger and fear - and cultivate love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness and peace. If you have a respiratory issue, breathing instruction from a trained yoga therapist can help tremendously.

MEDITATION & YOGA NIDRA

To soar is to grow from the inside out. By practicing meditation, you operate from the peace that can only be found within. Lowering blood pressure, calming the mind, and relaxing the body are just a few. Of the benefits. I can help you develop a daily meditation practice, and also introduce you yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), a deeply relaxing modality that gets to the root causes of stress, addressing issues ranging from insomnia to PTSD.

YOGA PHILOSOPHY FOR MODERN LIFE

To soar means to go beyond. This offering is for the student who has been practicing 3-5 years and feels a restlessness to go deeper. Studying closely with an experienced teacher is a powerful and effective way to further your understanding of yoga and life.
