Therapeutic Yoga & Somatic Practice

Personalized, clinically-informed mind-body sessions designed to support nervous system regulation, chronic pain recovery, injury rehabilitation, and sustainable well-being.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is a collaborative, one-to-one process that applies the tools of yoga within a therapeutic framework.
Sessions may include:
• therapeutic movement and functional sequencing
• breathwork and pranayama
• mindfulness and meditation practices
• somatic awareness and nervous system regulation
• ethical and philosophical principles from the eight limbs of yoga
• Ayurvedic self-care and lifestyle guidance when appropriate
Each session is tailored to individual needs, health history, and personal goals.
Who This Is For
Yoga therapy may be supportive for individuals navigating:
Chronic Pain & Health Conditions

How the Process Works
Each session begins with conversation and listening. Together we explore what is present physically, emotionally, and cognitively, and identify supportive entry points for practice. Sessions may include therapeutic movement, pranayama/breath-work, guided awareness practices, and education around nervous system regulation.
Rather than following a fixed sequence, the process is collaborative and adaptive. The pace is intentionally slow, allowing space to notice subtle shifts and build trust in the body’s signals over time.
A typical session may include:
gentle somatic movement and therapeutic yoga
breath-based practices and pranayama adapted to individual capacity
mindfulness or MBSR-informed awareness exercises
discussion of daily rhythms, stress patterns, or self-care strategies when appropriate
Some individuals choose to work together for a short period around a specific concern, while others engage in ongoing sessions as part of a broader therapeutic or personal development process.

Free Introductory Consultation
For Individuals Exploring Therapeutic Yoga Support
A complimentary introductory consultation is available for individuals who are personally interested in working together through therapeutic yoga, somatic practices, or mindfulness-based support.
Professional Mentorship and Consultation
For Yoga Teachers, Therapists, and Wellness Professionals
As my work has evolved into yoga therapy, somatic education, and mindfulness-based approaches, I have found that many fellow practitioners and clinicians are seeking deeper conversation around integrating these modalities into their own work.
Professional mentorship sessions are available for:
yoga teachers interested in therapeutic or somatic approaches
psychotherapists and clinicians exploring body-based practices
wellness professionals integrating mindfulness or nervous system regulation into their work
practitioners seeking case consultation or professional reflection
These sessions are collaborative and educational in nature and are offered as paid professional time.
Possible areas of focus may include:
applying somatic awareness within yoga or clinical settings
trauma-informed teaching and nervous system literacy
bridging talk therapy and embodied practices
professional development and scope-of-practice discussion
integrating mindfulness and therapeutic movement into existing offerings
Professional mentorship sessions are distinct from personal therapeutic work and are scheduled separately from client consultations and are charged at $175/hour.
