We do not verbally process, treat a diagnosis, or provide mental health counseling during the group classes, workshops, or individual sessions.
They are adjunct services to support your mental wellbeing by teaching tools to support the mind body connection, utilizing yoga philosophy, mind body centering techniques, guided meditation, visualization, and trauma informed language.
**We consider our therapeutic yoga to be an adjunct service and is not a replacement for or is mental health therapy**

Individual Therapeutic Yoga
Individual Therapeutic yoga sessions are an opportunity to bring an empowering, experiential component to the therapeutic experience. Therapeutic yoga offers the benefits of emotional regulation, grounding, centering techniques, strength, balance, and a sense of release.
In addition, you’ll have an opportunity to express and focus on any specific needs you bring to the table. The therapeutic approach offers tools towards insight, embodiment, and self-regulation.
Because of this, the practice can complement self-work you’re doing on your own or in counseling with your therapist. Insights gained in your movement practice can be shared by you with your therapist if so desired or we can collaborate with your provider if desired. Sometimes those insights gained are transformative jewels!
