Therapeutic Movement
"Contortions on a square grippy rectangle in tight pants is the poster child of yoga. But what if I tell you, it’s (thankfully) so much more."
Yoga is more than achieving increasingly advanced shapes, more than benefits extending only as far as your bendiest reach. Isn't all movement for that matter?
From my lens as a coach and teacher, it’s the skill set we carry to move through life that makes or breaks our experience. In the practice of yoga lies a tremendous opportunity to develop the strength, breath, awareness, connection and coordination of it all to move through the ups and downs of life. Living more connected to yourself and connected to others.
Why Yoga Therapeutics?
Yoga Therapeutics is a specific and significant toolkit of practices that restores balance to the body, mind + emotions... the essence of you. In the process of forming your plan of care, you get to choose where we focus based on your interest and need. The practice couldn't possibly be more bespoke - this is curated for YOU. A few of our tools are:
-
Movement and posture (yoga asana + more)
-
Clinical Somatic Movement
-
Breath mechanics + assessment
-
Ayurvedic applications to movement to influence energetics
-
Meditation (and other, less formal practices of presence)
-
Tapping + Mudra
-
Yoga Nidra
-
Reiki
We use a variety of hands-on and hands-off assessments to better understand where you are and where balance is needed. Everyone’s resulting plan of care varies widely from the next - no protocols or cookie-cutter programs.

TEAM & CORPORATE OFFERINGS
A blended movement recharge for you and your team
If your day begins with the tank half full and by lunch your nervous system is on the fritz, reset at the end of the day with an opportunity to recharge and protect. A movement practice is designed with this in mind. To bring our whole selves to our work and the populations we serve requires careful handling of our own self-care.
In skillful movement and pause, we can knit the pieces of fragmented attention back together with potential to restore focus, productivity and most importantly, our vitality.
Yoga as a means of moving mindfully targets the whole-person. More than a physical practice, moving the body creates a shift much like a kaleidoscope in related parts of us: our mind, emotions, and sense of connection.
60 or 75-minute yoga class as a bookend to the day
