I was thrilled to see the the New York Times included an article on somatic therapy in the therapy issue of its NYT Magazine. While the article focused on somatic experiencing, a specific form of therapy, it drew attention to an idea central to all forms of somatic therapy (of which yoga therapy is one): that the nervous system is affected by both information coming in from the mind and from the body and may be addressed, altered, and modulated both from the top down (working with the mind) and from the bottom up (working with the body).

Somatic therapy is surging, with the promise that true healing may reside in focusing on the physical rather than the mental.

Are you curious about yoga therapy - what it is, how it can be integrated into your life or healing progress?

Here are a few things to know about yoga therapy:

1. Yoga therapy is an integrated approach to wellness that treats the whole person.

2. Yoga therapy is tailored specifically to you and your goals and needs, be they physical, psychological, or spiritual.

3. Yoga therapy meets you where you are and empowers you to effect change in your state of well-being.

4. Yoga therapy can be preventative, rehabilitative, or palliative in nature.

5. Yoga therapy can be practiced in person or over Zoom.

A gratitude practice on this early spring day. So many tiny glimmers of beauty to notice and drink in. I think I stopped more than my dog, and that’s almost impossible😉

It has been a while since I posted here, and I wanted to share what I have been up to. During the pandemic, I completed my certification as a yoga therapist and I am finally updating my website to reflect this. If you are interested, take a look!

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

This month, our yoga has explored themes of practice, and, more specifically, the benefits of dedication, persistence, and perseverance. Continuing to show up in the face of daunting challenges. Focusing not on what we can’t do, but what we can. Letting go of expectations of excellence and attachment to success. Being present with hope, faith, and attention.

It would be a joy to share practice with you.
