Methods

Therapeutic:
An approach to yoga that equally considers the main complaint and the root cause.

Yoga can help with all of the below either specifically or holistically.

• myofascial care
• joint stability/flexibility
• meditation for neuropathic pain
• restoration
• Postural rehabilitation
• arch building (feet)
• Nervous system balancing
• Bilateral movement
• Distress tolerance

Alignment Based Hatha: 

Yoga asana should be a safe and sustainable method of stress management and physical exercise. It is for this reason that I put a strong emphasis on teaching alignment and breath. This is ideal for the person who is may only have mild bodily discomforts or none, but wishes to partake in a sustainable yoga asana practice.

Yoga Nidra:

60 minutes. Guided resting meditation. This is something that changed my life, so I feel a desire to offer it. In such a yang driven society, finding time to rest and integrate can be challenging. Yoga Nidra can help with that. This is ideal for people struggling with PTSD, or have high Adverse Childhood Effect scores, chronic pain, digestive issues, migraines, fibromyalgia.

Metta Meditation:

Love and kindness meditation

Restorative: 

Yoga that uses props and is primarily on the ground, has been shown to be the most effective form of yoga to address cortisol and stress imbalances. This can be ideal for people that have a lot of emotional, mental and physical stress, insomnia or other signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

Vinyasa:

Vinyasa means mindful movement. This class strings together classical yoga asana in a way that is considerate of biomechanics.

Yang/Yin:

Half vinyasa/Half restorative: really good for anxiety and depression.
