SomaYoga Therapy is a blending of neuroscience with ancient yoga and Ayurveda practices. This is a powerful approach to health and wellbeing because we are creating new pathways to wellness with your participation. Here’s a brief overview of SomaYoga Therapy and what to expect in a session.

After years of study and practice I am able to draw from many modalities to create recommendations and practices for your health and wellbeing. We will work on many levels: physical body, energy body, and mind through movement, breath, meditation, philosophy, self-care practices, food, and sound to name a few.

SomaYoga Therapy is a unique blending of work that includes:

  • Neuromuscular re-education with Somatics to undo the effects of stress, trauma, habit, and fatigue on the body and mind. This modality creates freedom in many ways.

  • Classic asana to strengthen and stabilize.

  • Therapeutic yoga to stabilize, understand the range of movement & possible areas of compensation.

  • Traditional pranayama (breath practices to affect the nervous system and your energy).

  • Traditional yogic philosophy from the Himalayan Tradition of Swami Rama

  • Traditional yogic meditation and training of the mind

  • Personal development

  • Ayurveda

Our first session is 1.5 hours and includes intake (health history, current activities, goals, etc) giving insight for practices that we do together. We can address managing stress, improving digestion, sleep, pain, tension, etc. Based on intake and our practice together, I will design a plan for you to do between sessions, which may include movement, pranayama (breath practices), meditation, Ayurveda self-care practices, and/or personal development practices. During our session I will explain why the neuromuscular re-education approach is such a powerful modality and how you are empowered to create your own change.

I will give you recommendations and design practices specifically for you and how to incorporate them into your daily routines and lifestyle. I will be careful not to overload you with more “to do.” These practices will be printed, sent digitally, and may include audio and/or videos to help you learn. We can create shifts in our sessions, however, to progress you will need to commit to your ongoing practice.

Creating change is a process and I will give you a recommendation of how many sessions would be most effective for you. This also depends on your practices between sessions. I am available for questions and to check-in between sessions. As you can see, this is a partnership.
