YOGA THERAPY
Find Your True Alignment
When you chose to work with me; I promise to help guide you by creating a safe space to allow re-connection to parts of yourself you may have forgotten. Your wisdom, inner strength and your courage, just to name a few. Based on my experiential knowledge and professional training as a Yoga Therapist, my intention is to offer you new tools to re-build your relationship with your body and ultimately, your Self.
​
Yoga Therapy is a holistic wellness approach empowering and supporting individuals to manage their own health using the principles of Yoga. Tools that may be used during a Yoga Therapy session include: gentle asana (postures), pranayama (breath awareness and techniques), mudra (gestures), mantra (chanting), visualization, relaxation, meditation, lifestyle counselling and self-development guidance.​
​
At the essence of Yoga Therapy is the re-connection of Mind, Body and Spirit. Yoga encourages us to tap into the deep well of inner wisdom and has the potential to replace a dependency on external validation by supporting a more internal relationship of trust and gratitude for the body and mind.

HOW WE WILL WORK TOGETHER
Yoga Therapy asks that both the therapist and client have the same intention: to reduce the client’s suffering as they move forward on their healing journey. Meaning it is vital the client is prepared to do their inner work with the guidance of the therapist. Yoga Therapy is a self-empowering modality based on ancient yogic philosophy.
Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘UNION’ so ultimately, we look to bring the client back into union with themselves - at all levels. Body, Mind and Spirit.
​
Unlike a group yoga class, we will work together 1 on 1, personally or virtually.
Additionally, unlike traditional forms of therapy, we will not narrowly focus on your specific symptoms. Instead, we will extend the realm of healing beyond negative patterns and encourage resilience. Infusing your recovery with new thought processes, vitality, and inspiration. Helping you live a life in True Alignment with your Sacred Self.
​
If you are curious as to whether Yoga Therapy is for you, I encourage you to book a no-fee, no obligation phone call. This is an introductory discussion giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Please note, treatment is not provided on this call.
​
Regardless of your yoga experience, I believe there is so much this healing modality can offer and it would be my honour to guide you along your path of self-empowerment.
