I believe in a strong connection between mind and body. As a therapist and a yoga instructor I often use body and breathing techniques to assist individuals, couples and groups to access and explore physiological responses to emotions in the body.

I facilitate yoga therapy groups for individuals with body image issues and eating disorders. I also facilitate various couples yoga workshops which encourage couples to explore their sense of themselves as individuals and their relationship to one another.

You can find me teaching various yoga classes at Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs- Check the schedule for updates.

 

Trauma Sensitive Yoga

I have been facilitating groups and individual yoga sessions for people struggling with symptoms related to trauma since 2010. Trauma sensitive yoga focuses on increasing each persons capacity to connect to themselves and their bodies in a relaxed and safe manner. Drawing on neuroscience research, trauma theory and attachment theory,  yoga helps to increase interoceptive awareness, increase empowerment and decrease many physical responses to trauma and above all encourage choice and safety. There are no physical assists in group or individual yoga sessions.
