As a Sanskrit word yoga means "to yoke" or "to unite".  What is united in yoga are the different elements of experience that make up who we are including our minds, our bodies, and most importantly our spirits.  Even seen as a solely physical practice yoga has proven to have dramatic effects on all aspects of our health and function, including promoting a healthier mindset.  There are no techniques or postures exclusive to yoga and literally everyone can find a way to incorporate some yoga into their lives.  Find ways that work for your life is one of the goals for the House for Wellness. 

​

This is a form of therapy that recognizes one's own body as the most powerful medium for change.  These sessions include both movement and talk therapies in an effort to explore ways help you transform your life and support you in making changes you want and/or adapting to changes that you don't want. 

 

Worried about events in your life?

 

Experiencing more stress than usual?

 

Having chronic pain that feels more than in your body? 

 

All of these are questions to bring into a yoga therapy session.  Yoga therapy will guide you through movements while inviting dialogue over sensations in the body that are tied in with something deeper in yourself.  You will then be supported in gleaning  knowledge from insights that came about during the session and creating action steps in order to apply this new wisdom to your life.

This work is influenced by the Phoenix Rising School of Yoga Therapy, Somatic Experiencing International.
