What is Yoga Therapy?
We take in information through our thoughts, sensations, emotions, and imagination. Unfortunately, in our culture, we tend to preference thoughts over everything else. The problem is, our thoughts only give us part of the picture. In a yoga therapy session, I’ll invite you to notice the sensations in your body, and the images and emotions that arise. You’ll be amazed by how much more information you have access to!
Through awareness practices, breathing techniques, deep imagery, gentle movement, and dialogue you will learn to listen with compassion to the wisdom of your body. Through this deep listening you’ll turn awareness into action and integration.
"Rachel is amazing... I’ve done years of counseling and the sessions with her have been so much more beneficial than any talk therapy I’ve ever done...What’s most amazing is that you are actually doing all the work, she’s just guiding...Which I think it’s why its so much more powerful for me. I have the answers, it’s just finding them. And she has that ability to help me know what my body is feeling and thinking."
