I strongly believe in the human capacity to overcome suffering including trauma, anxiety and depression. I want to support my community to uncover resiliency and find positive transformation out of life’s challenges (no matter how hard).
The fast paced and cluttered world we live in can create chronic stress, anxiety and depression. We are often overwhelmed by the pressures of life and work, yet we push ourselves beyond capacity and then crash. We deal with injury, trauma and stress like a battle wound and push through, ignoring our bodies signs to slowdown, until it gives in. It is as if we have forgotten how to love and nurture ourselves and we push all of our energy out into the world - but that energy is grey, it lacks spirit and sparkle. My life's work is to inspire YOU (my tribe) to remember your are WHOLE. At your core is love and this love (that is already within you) is the key to transformation, healing and joy.

One-on-One Support (in-person or online)
Each Yoga Therapy session is unique based on your needs. One-on-one allows us to focus on the same practices that I teach in group classes and workshops but customized to your unique circumstance. Depending on your goals, we will spend time healing the deeper wounds surrounding your journey and talk about lifestyle choices that may help you grieve and regain vitality . You can read more about Yoga Therapy HERE. Most people who come for one-on-one sessions are looking for personalized care from someone who understands what they're going through and can provide individual support.

Yoga Therapy for Anxiety & Trauma - 7-class series
This 7-week series is suitable for anyone suffering from Anxiety and Trauma. The classes are 2 hours with 30-minute talk, 45-minute experiential practice, 15-minute guided relaxation, 15-minute wrap-up, reflections and Q&A.
The talks include information about the nervous system, breathing and the mind-body connection. They are designed to empower participants with knowledge about physiological experiences that occur under stress. My goal is also to normalize what participants are experiencing in their body.
The practice is quite different from a normal yoga class. Practices are carefully selected based on the individuals in the group, best practices for anxiety and trauma, and with modifications for structural limitations. Time is given during each practice to observe and build proprioceptive awareness. After each practice participants are encouraged to observe their energy, subtler physiological awareness, thoughts and emotions.
I’m very aware that being in a group and especially group sharing can be triggering for many so a lot of care is taken to make sure participants feel comfortable and safe in the space and class. I always meet on the phone before the class series to explain the class and provide information about what to expect and understand any concerns the participants might have.
