Rather than prescribe treatments, yoga invites presence, participation, personal transformation, and long-term well-being through partnership with a Yoga Therapist.

Step One - Initial Complimentary Phone Consultation

An initial phone consultation begins the process of getting to know concerns, needs, inspirations and health goals. This process brings comfort to the impending relationship between Therapist and client and begins the process of developing a shared vision for healing.

Step Two - Assessment Session ($150 - 2 Hour Session)

Following the initial phone consultation, an extensive in person Assessment takes place. This session may consist of several components depending on client needs including an in-depth interview, postural, spine, gait and breath analysis, sacroiliac stability evaluation and muscle testing procedures including range of motion and muscle strength testing. Simple movement therapy (asana), breathwork (pranayama), relaxation techniques and preliminary dietary and lifestyle modifications are recommended and given to the client at the end of the first session.

Because most clients come seeking pain relief, this is a primary focus during Session Two. Therapies to reduce inflammation, pain and worry, and increase healing circulation and relaxation are considered a priority during the development stages of a Yoga Therapy program. In addition, the understanding and correcting of habitual movements that can be the cause of pain are explored.

Step Three - Comprehensive Personalized Home Program Session, ($75 - 75 Minute Session)

Based on findings from Session Two, a personalized Yoga Therapy program is recommended. During Session Three, the client practices an agreed-upon, personalized program and a detailed handout is given for home practice. Complimentary e-mail consultations are encouraged during the initial stages of home practice so that the client feels comfortable and confident with their program.

Session Three incorporates many of the same therapies introduces during the Assessment Session with emphasis on bringing balance and vitality to areas in need. Because we are multidimensional beings, all aspects of the client's well being are considered as an integral part of the healing process.

Step Four - On The Mend - Refinement of the Home Program ($75, 75 Minute Session)

Normally two to three weeks later, client and Therapist meet to evaluate the program. Progress is reviewed, changes are made and a new detailed road-to-wellness program is established for continued home practice.

Session Four is a fortifying process, where the focus lies on strengthening areas of weakness at the physical, energetic, emotional, mental and wisdom levels, bringing the whole person into balance.

It is recommended that Therapist and client meet on a quarterly basis to maintain lasting wellness.
