Individualized Yoga and Movement Therapy for Pain Relief and Easier Movement
Creating Resilience Through Intelligent Movement
I am currently holding all classes and individual lessons virtually. 4 session one on one lessons are available. Contact me for rates and availability, May we grow and endure well through these challenging days.
Pain and movement restrictions can come from injury, illness, stress or even bad habits.
These injuries and habits often impede walking, running, cause pain or stiffness in sitting and standing and contribute to other problems like pelvic floor problems, balance issues and respiratory and cardio challenges. Luckily there is a lot you can do to get and stay out of pain.
There is. secondary problem that causes you to constrict your tissues even more. Initally tightening up, both physically and emotionally, with an injury protected you from the worst of the pain. It was useful but as time goes on it creates lasting limits and its own form of pain.
We have the ability to remove these habits and constrictions from our bodies but often need a trusted guide who can help us. Using a gentle, non-intrusive, and respectful approach, I offer one on one teaching and coaching to help you become more grounded, fluid, secure, resilient and pain free.
You will learn easy-to-apply practices that will move you into pleasant and energized activity that helps resolve difficulties in your body. You will go at your own pace to overcome pain, injury, pressure, exhaustion, or stress.
According to the UK Behavior Research Center, changing a behavior generally takes at least 66 days of consecutive action. Regaining strength, function, and bodily integrity takes time, attention, and ongoing support. You can find this support through group classes or through the individual programs below. Please realize these programs are a guide. In reality, everything I offer is tailored to you!
