What should I expect in an individual yoga therapy session ?
Individual sessions are geared specifically to a client’s personalized needs based on goals we co-create together. After a thorough health history intake, I design movement, breath, and mindfulness interventions to address unique health and healing concerns, which I guide and support the client through. Our work may also include education, coaching, and homework practices. Sessions last for 60 minutes via Zoom.
Group classes address the health and healing practices of betrayed partners in a more general way. I offer the same kind of practices as in individual yoga therapy sessions, but they are done in community with other partners. Yogis are always encouraged to listen to their own innate wisdom and practice in a way that feels appropriate in their own bodies. In group classes, I speak to themes of creating a sense of safety and stability, recognizing and processing emotions, and releasing stress and tension stored in the mind, body, and spirit.
Do I need previous yoga experience?
No! Therapeutic sessions are accessible to anyone regardless of flexibility or experience. Modifications are offered and encouraged! You will build strength, flexibility, and emotional resilience as you practice. Yoga can help to relieve tension in the mind and body regardless of where an individual’s practice may be. Our work together will be will consist of healing-focused practices taught from a trauma-informed perspective. It is a safe space to meet yourself wherever you are in the moment.
How should I prepare for a session?
Yoga is done barefoot in comfortable clothes that you can move in easily on a yoga mat that prevents your hands and feet from slipping.
Two yoga blocks, two blankets, a bolster, and a strap are recommended props for each session. Investing in these items will allow you to support yourself and gain the most benefit from the practice. You may also use household items such as sturdy books, pillows and blankets, and a belt.
Please take a few minutes before your session begins to get your space organize and settled. Avoid eating a heavy meal 1-2 hours before and have some water to sip through our work together.
