Personal Yoga Therapy© reaches into the entire realm of Vedic divine-sciences (yoga, ayurveda, astrology) to offer a variety of practices and experiences that will help you understand your self, your soul, and your current life circumstances. The benefits are immediately felt by the ease in the body and peace in the mind, heart & soul. The Yamas & Niyamas are our guiding ethics. Making a commitment to yourself and your process is important. Trusting me is important too. Strict confidentiality is practiced.
Weekly classes are currently online at Zoom.
There are so many different ways to practice hatha yoga in the USA.
When I first looked for a yoga class (1976) I had no choice. I could only find one class and one teacher. But that is not the case today. Most large cities, tourist areas, and even most sleepy suburban areas all have yoga studios today. And, some of those studio’s are open from dawn to dusk with round-the-clock classes, 7 days a week.
If your only yoga experience was gained in a gym, or with some other hybrid of yoga + western culture then these classes will feel very different.
Over the course of my training & education of the vedic culture I’ve come to appreciate the value of tradition with regards to spiritual practices. Many consider a yoga class “sadhana”, which prioritizes the spiritual element that creates community.
Personal Yoga Therapy classes may include any or all of these practices.
Discussion(topics can be requested by students) Centering, Sankalpa, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Savasana, Yoga Nidra & Meditation. Nada Yoga (sound/hearing), Ayurveda, Jyotish (Astrology), Yamas, Niyamas, and Co-Listening
Our primary practice is Svahdhaya
Self-Observation without Judgement
Yoga can only be learned “in the present moment”. I strive to keep each and every class a reflection of just that, the present.
If you are new I invite you to arrange a brief teacher interview, either on zoom or on the phone. All Welcome.
All bodies, in any condition, can benefit from yoga therapy. Because of its holistic approach to wellness, yoga therapy impacts both, the healthy and not-so-healthy. In addition to improved physical health, other benefits include: enhanced creativity, stronger focus, wider range of emotional expression, balanced relationships, greater fulfillment at work, living your purpose, and an embodied experience of bliss & connection are some possibilities.
The immediate effects of reduced tension, smoother breathing, a quiet mind and a peaceful heart are enough for most.
Through the efforts of the IAYT, yoga therapy has become a clearly defined and evidence-based therapy. New, documented evidence is coming out every day. Yoga Therapy has techniques and tools for just about every malady in our current culture. It can be transformational in the treatment of trauma, abuse, addiction, mental illnesses as as well as spiritual dilemma’s.
Personal Yoga Therapy© can also be scheduled for private groups. Family programs are quite common. Confidentiality is an important piece for creating a safe place. References available upon request.
Yoga experience is appreciated but not necessary.
Private sessions may be in-person or on Zoom
