Your Yoga Therapy session is always highly individualized and responsive to your unique condition. You will be coached in a practice of Embodied Presence - that is, you will be coached to become more internally attuned to your body in its direct experience. You begin to sense your body on a whole new level and this awareness and sensitivity informs the flow of your yoga practice.
This practice of being mindfully aware in direct experience has therapeutic benefits from decreasing stress to empowering personal growth to recovering from trauma, depression, illness and therefor appeals to a wide variety of people
....performers, athletes, professionals, moms, dads, students, worriers, survivors, the heart broken.....
Everyone with a Body.
Bodies with unique needs/considerations welcome!
No matter what's missing or not working, your yoga practice will be designed to fit what you can do and to support what is working! Your body may have unique needs, it's YOUR body and you can practice embodied presence, awareness and acceptance. Yoga movements and postures can be modified to fit your body. And you can learn from your experience those techniques that support stress reduction, well-being, pain relief and fitness.
Your closest relationships can develop new levels of understanding, acceptance and support. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, friends can all explore sharing, listening, boundaries and connections through shared yoga practice, reflection and dialogue. In a structured practice, partners find their own ways of being more present to the relationship.
The aim of yoga therapy is to work together with an individual or sometimes groups of clients to find the most appropriate techniques to help improve health and wellbeing. Supporting any ongoing issues that might be causing stress or some of the other negative impacts of illness, pain, or injury.
We are living amid the first global mass trauma event in several decades. It's arguably the first of its kind since World War Two, and almost certainly the first of such severity in your lifetime.
Trauma is a far subtler concept than many of us realize. It isn't just a word for something extremely stressful. It doesn't always come from short, sharp shocks like car accidents, terrorist attacks, or firefights. And, trauma isn't the same thing as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
What trauma is about is events and their effect on the mind. But what separates it from something merely stressful is how we relate to these events on a deep level of belief.
Trauma can be understood as a rupture in "meaning-making," where the way you see yourself, the way you see the world, and the way you see other people, are all shocked and overturned by an event. Stress accumulates and the nervous system is forced on high-alert.
While yoga isn’t the first-line treatment for trauma, it definitely helps people to acquire a better habit of self-regulation and calm. Yoga has been proven time and again to have a positive impact on a variety of psychological and physiological conditions. It cultivates mindfulness through breathing exercises, intentional relaxation, and body movement.
In addition to helping certain medical conditions and somatic dissociation, yoga has also been shown to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, ADHD, and eating disorders.
The Heal Yourself Flow is a gentle and comprehensive practice, in which we will utilize Yogic intentional breathing exercises to help gain control of emotional regulation, calm the sympathetic nervous system, trigger other biochemical and physiological relaxation mechanisms in the body, and improve our self-concept and coping skills.
