Astrology looks at the world thru a lens that has no prejudice. It does not see: gender, race, religion, economic status, socio/cultural differences, sexual orientation, political affiliation or any of the ways in which we categorize or label ourselves.
What astrology does see is priceless towards understanding our invisible, internal ‘energetic’ self and the timing of manifestation.
The ‘how’ and ‘what’ is up to us. Where and when are usually cosmically determined. Free will exists and so does destiny and fate. When approached with compassion, equanimity and non-judgment the natal horoscope becomes an impartial map of probability and possibility with a built-in clock to help one plan for the future. For many, it’s the key to understanding and acceptance of the present moment.
The spiritual path using Astrology identifies our purpose and our karma. Past Life information is available as well. Psychologically, astrology helps us understand the nature of our ego, the obstacles that impede us and the actions and attitudes we must take to become self-realized. With regards to physical health astrology can reveal significant information that may be unavailable to traditional allopathic medical professionals. And more.
Not all astrologers interact with clients or students, and those that do are not always trained in effective interpersonal communication. Something to consider.

Yoga provides us with tools, techniques, practices and a philosophy to help us be more present and accepting of what is. Yoga teaches us how to relax around obstacles, minimize the ego drives and approach life’s challenges in peace. Where astrology represents a clock of the ever-changing present moment, Yoga gently trains us to receive that moment exactly as it is.
Both, together, advance us towards wholeness, well-being, enlightened consciousness and spiritual awakening.
Yoga Therapy vs Yoga
The ancient definition of therapy was “one who ministers’ or heals and the future of therapy is self-therapy where the professionals teach people how to heal themselves.
Yoga Therapy re-organizes an individual’s perspective to bring balance and attention to the whole by including the causal & subtle bodies in its methodology. Even a minimal amount of research will explain that yoga is more than just the physical challenges of the postures (asana’s). There are many different ways to practice yoga and we don’t always have to use our bodies to reach the enlightened state that yoga promises.
What we do is not nearly as important as what we can observe. Our primary purpose is for unity of body/mind/spirit. And, the whole, also includes the cosmic environment as referenced in many of the yogic scriptures. Astrology is unparalleled as a tool for understanding cosmic forces and continues to prove it’s relevance to those who take the time to study, learn, and embody their knowledge. Simple astrological techniques can help identify the most pronounced energetic blockages and thereby increase the potential for yogic healing.
Integrating astrology and yoga opens channels in the body like magic. Benefits are experienced physically, mentally and spiritually. We get clear. Our intuitive, psychic, creative, & spiritual abilities become part of our everyday existence with Knowledge & Wisdom as natural byproducts. Obstacles to our creativity melt away replaced by a new found sense of wonder.
An experiential approach to Astrology supersedes mind/intellect alone. Yoga practiced with this intention connects us to the cosmos and all the higher realms in safe and meaningful ways.
I love to create workshops integrating everything I’ve learned. Over the years certain topics/themes have become *specialties* and can be presented in a wide variety of formats, from intensives to weekend retreats.
Customized programs for your group/business/family/community are available.

….is offered in a variety of formats suitable for groups or individuals. Private Sessions, Workshops & Retreats are available. Intensives offer a ‘deep practice’ experience.
Preparation for me begins with the chart & map for the moment. It’s the ‘weather pattern’ for the session.
Depending on the nature of the event we may include using our natal charts. If that is something you are unfamiliar with I urge you have one calculated for you. That’s a service I provide .
This information guides me in choosing the appropriate yoga (therapy) practices, on and off the mat.
Experiential portions of this program include: Asana, pranayama, mudra, yoga nidra, meditation, chant, integrative breathwork, art, journaling, expressive movement, dyads & storytelling.
Some hatha yoga experience is recommended but not necessary. Our practices are gentle & challenging at the same time. Experiences and insights that stimulate the mind-body-spirit connection can be profoundly transformational. Inner space explorations of outer space can at times stir up the unconscious and help us to see places we don’t often visit consciously. Be ready.
