Getting Started with Yogatherapy

When beginning Yogatherapy, it is recommended that students commit to a 6-week series of classes to experience the benefits of sustained classes.

Step 1

In your first one-on-one yogatherapy session, we'll meet to talk about your goals and how a personalized Yoga practice can support you.

This introductory session will include a conversation about goals, a strength and flexibility discovery, a review of current or past injuries, and health concerns.

After we meet, I will prepare a customized Yoga plan specifically for you to commence in your first of five weekly follow-up classes.

Step 2

After your assessment is complete, we'll dig into one-on-one Yoga.

I will guide you as you steadily progress and we co-create a Yoga practice that supports your goals, health needs, and lifestyle. 

Each new class includes checking in, a review of your practice, feedback, and adjustments based on your progress.

At the end of weekly sessions, I will provide you with an updated practice based on your feedback and any adjustments that need to be made to your practice.

Step 3

Your Yoga Journey also includes a customized Yoga practice that you can do at home.

We'll talk about the best time of day for you to practice as well as the ideal length of time you can devote to a daily practice.

Your customized practice will include select tools of Yoga, and may vary depending on your personal needs.

Yoga tools include Yoga postures, breathing, sound, and visualization in carefully chosen ways to help you meet your goals and support you on your healing path.
