PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS

Private sessions include adjustments to reorient the body to release habitually held tension in the muscular tissues. We will focus on strengthening areas of weakness and underuse while also releasing overuse to find more flexibility and range of motion. These sessions create a more balanced abode to live in and bring balance in the tissues, space in the joints and mental clarity.

Together, we will develop better conditions that allow the body to heal itself.

You’ll learn tools to powerfully participate in your wellbeing, release negative habits and reorient yourself to move with more ease. A sense of well-being, insights and transformation may develop.

With 1000+ hours of Yoga training, I’ve studied under master teachers in Yoga and somatic therapies, and I come from a lifetime of studying movement and athletics. My first training was under a Physical Therapist who developed a Yoga method that is safe and functional. I’ve trained in Therapeutic Yoga with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman, and I am certified in Trauma Informed Yoga. I am also certified in Katonah Yoga by the founder Nevine Michaan, a syncretic Hatha practice developed over 40 years that incorporates classical Hatha yoga with Taoist theory, geometry, mythology, metaphor, and imagination — in a practical framework designed to potentiate personal and communal well-being.  

Yoga therapy applies yoga techniques to help individual health challenges in a multi-dimensional manner. It serves to be preventative an also alleviate suffering, improve symptoms and facilitate healing at all levels. Yoga postures align the bones and reforms the muscles and ligaments. Good physical alignment removes stagnation and frees the flow of chi or energy within the spinal cord and throughout the meridians of the body. Proper flow of energy supports the body in healing itself. Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system to adopt a healthier stress response and supports an overly taxed nervous system.

My sessions are safe for anyone who has suffered from trauma. A 10-week, yoga-based mindfulness program reduced symptoms of PTSD among women with chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD. (source)
