The holistic basis of this Yoga therapy can reveal the connections among several symptoms or conditions and help address the fundamental imbalances that contribute to them. In addition to experiencing specific therapeutic benefits, you will leave the hour-long session deeply relaxed and refreshed. Primary healthcare provider's ok is strongly recommended.

Private instruction is an ideal way to support a home practice or complement Yoga class. This is also a great way to begin a fitness program. Home visits are available.

Relaxation Therapy: A mind/body approach to calming the stress response. Working one-one with the therapist, you will learn specific techniques and lifestyle changes to help you prevent and reverse the cascade of physical and emotional changes that comprise our reaction to stress. Focus is on education, so you can integrate these techniques and changes into your everyday life.
