Yoga Therapy is a blend of asana (yoga poses), pranayama (breath awareness), mudra
(hand positions), mantra (sound), meditation, and relaxation techniques that work
together to bring greater health and freedom to all levels of being including the
physical, energetic, and mental-emotional levels.
Yoga Therapy is not a substitute for allopathic medical care. If you are injured or have
an illness, you should always follow the advice of your licensed medical professional. It
cannot be claimed that Yoga Therapy cures any ailment or illness, However, many
students find that the medical care they are receiving is much more effective when they
supplement it with yoga and other forms of holistic health care.
Since I began teaching in 2003, I have had the privilege to work with students who
suffered from a variety of health issues, injuries and disabilities including arthritis,
cerebral palsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, depression, diabetes,
fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, insomnia, knee replacement, menopause, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, obesity, post-polio syndrome, and stress.

Your First Visit:
During our first appointment, you will be asked questions about your past and present health concerns, exercise
routine, pain management, and medical care. We will then explore various yoga postures and other techniques
based on what you are hoping to accomplish in our sessions.
Personalized Sequences:
During subsequent sessions, you will receive personalized yoga sequences that will guide your home practice
reinforcing what we work on together. These sequences are a valuable part of the program because they chronicle
your progress as well as give you confidence to practice on your own.
Home Practice:
Home practice is a very important part of Yoga Therapy. We will come up with a plan based on your schedule and
other exercise routines, that will enable you to succeed in your goals. Clients who are diligent with their home
practice see results much more quickly than those who choose not to practice on their own.
It is recommended that you purchase a series of 5 sessions at a time and schedule the sessions once a week. This
arrangement gives us ample time to find out what works for you as well as giving you a chance to make these yoga
techniques part of your life between sessions.

| What Should I Expect? |
In my practical experience, I have found that yoga and the process of turning inward is beneficial for people dealing
with injury and chronic illness. It allows them to listen to their bodies in new ways that can have a grounding and
healing affect on the emotions as well.
