Creating a somatic sanctuary for expansion, nourishment, and integration.

Therapeutic yoga, mindfulness practices, and intuitive movement can be a valuable addition to treatment to help reinforce and expand on insights from psychotherapy. Taking dedicated time to relax towards the end of a session, can help effectively integrate the new information from our sessions, creating lasting and meaningful change. Yoga has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Movement practices also help build on the concepts often explored in our somatic work such as being curious about physical sensations, increasing capacity to tolerate various nervous system arousal states (rest + digest, fight/flight), authentic expression, self-trust, and embodied experiences of safety and security.

Therapeutic yoga can be incorporated into a 90 minute individual therapy session (typically fit into the last 30 minutes of the session).
