What Can i expect?

Like psychotherapy or physical therapy, yoga therapy relies on a therapeutic relationship. This involves thoughtful listening and tailoring the practice to the subtleties of each individuals needs.

Therapeutic Yoga is not confined to the psychological or physical. Instead, it uses traditional yogic models to look at the whole person. This may mean looking at the koshas, or layers of self, which include the physical, energetic, emotional, wisdom, and spiritual parts of our being. Therapeutic Yoga addresses the underlying root causes of our pain and suffering, which are often subtle and rooted.

In a typical one-on-one yoga therapy session, you could expect:

• A thorough intake inquiring into your medical history, along with your physical, mental, energetic, and spiritual needs.

• An analysis of your breath, posture, gait, and various yoga poses.

• Physical poses chosen and adapted for your needs.

• Breathing, meditation, and relaxation practice.

• Home practice direction

Do I focus on a specific condition/s?

No, individual or group sessions can cover a broad spectrum of wellness care, such as: depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), trauma or anxiety; stress reduction and management; wellness care during and after an injury/surgery or disease; respiratory, digestive and circulatory health; osteoporosis and other issues.

What I do not offer:

I do not diagnose pathologies, illnesses or injuries, nor do I prescribe a treatment, medication or use talk therapy. If this is what you are seeking, please use a licensed practitioner, such as a medical doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker. 

What is the cost of services? 

Pricing: 

There is CERTAINLY nothing wrong with getting paid for services provided as its how our economic system works.  However I have not lived my life with the “pay to play” ethos.  For better or worse my economic life has just operated differently.  Thus far in life my needs have been met.  I have chosen to life a simple lifestyle and trust I will continue to be provided for. 

Simplistic, maybe….

With that in mind my “service fees” are completely voluntary.  It’s up to you, really. 

I provide sessions at no charge to lots of people.  I trade services with lots of people.  I have been compensated by lots of people. 

Let me assure you there is no “strategy” in this.  It’s just where my heart feels peaceful.

Be free, if this feels like a fit for you, book a session.  If you are not comfortable with this let’s talk, we can agree on something where we are both at peace.

Notes:

I have clients overseas and do offer virtual sessions, although its not my preference.

I work out of studio space in my home and am also available to travel. 

Sessions run 75-90 minutes and are planned to meet ones specific needs.

Corporate / Group work is available.
