Mind-Body Yoga Therapy is a comprehensive approach to holistic healing, integrating ancient yogic principles with contemporary therapeutic methods. By combining these age-old practices with modern techniques, we aim to deepen awareness and foster a heightened sense of presence, empowering individuals to embrace self-acceptance more fully. This enhanced self-awareness becomes a catalyst for change, growth, and overall well-being in the realms of body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
In a Mind-Body Yoga Therapy one-on-one session, practitioners guide clients through a transformative experience. This session involves assisted yoga postures and a client-centered, open-ended, and non-directive dialogue process. The focus is on facilitating the client’s exploration of their present moment, fostering a connection with their physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. Whatever unfolds in this present moment becomes enriched by its relationship to the broader context of the client’s daily life— encompassing work, play, family, and relationships.
Although a series of sessions is often beneficial, profound transformation can also occur within a single session. Similarly, our themed Mind-Body Therapeutic Yoga Classes or 8-Week Group Series deliver impactful results. Our overarching mission is to guide individuals towards a life worth living—a purpose-driven and meaningful existence marked by reduced stress and anxiety, and enriched by fulfilling work and relationships.
