90-minute Consultation with a Home Practice
Yoga Cikitsa, or Yoga Therapy, is the skilled therapeutic application of the ancient practice and philosophy of yoga to promote and restore health at all levels. It can be practiced alone or used as a complement to medical treatment of chronic and acute physical and/or mental conditions.
Personalized instruction provides you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to practice at home. This results in a balanced program that promotes strength, stamina, flexibility, enhanced breathing, and mental steadiness.
Description
Online Mentoring Yoga Therapy Yoga Therapy sessions are held via Zoom.
Online Mentoring Yoga Therapy sessions offers an authentic approach to establishing a personal practice. Whether you are just discovering yoga, or are already a practitioner, working with me privately can help take your practice to a new level of understanding.
Personalized instruction provides you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to practice at home. This results in a balanced program that promotes strength, stamina, flexibility, enhanced breathing, and mental steadiness.
The Process
Each individual is honored in her present condition and supported with the appropriate tools of self-discovery in order to make lasting changes. Sessions are ideal for developing a personal practice, or for addressing specific health challenges, such as chronic conditions, recovery from treatment or injury, and structural imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction.
The Results
Personalized instruction provides you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to practice at home. This results in a balanced program that promotes strength, stamina, flexibility, enhanced breathing, and mental steadiness.
The Teachings
The fundamental principles of what I teach are derived from Sri T. Krishnamacharya (The Father of Modern Yoga), the Ayurvedic system of health, and “The Yoga Sutras of Patanajli”–the authoritative text on yoga.
The Tools of Yoga Therapy
I use a wide range of mind/body practices that may be included in your sessions: yoga postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama), relaxation techniques, meditation, chanting, sound, gesture, ritual, mantra-s, visualizations, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, text study, and myofascial release. The tools of yoga therapy and the application of these tools will evolve as your needs change.
