Last year I had the utmost honor to train under Dr Lauren Tober and Mental Health Aware Yoga and for the perhaps first time in my life I found courage to tell my story and why I do the work I do.

My name is Shay, I am a clinical yoga therapist in training and a reiki practitioner at Total Health & Wellness Associates.

Yoga therapy is a whole-person model of health, facilitated by a certified yoga therapist who has a minimum of 1000 hours of in-depth training. A session can be individual, small group-based, face-to-face, and/or virtual. After an initial assessment and goal setting, a therapist safely applies various tools of the ancient practice of yoga supported by evidence-based scientific research such as breathing, movement, relaxation, and meditation techniques tailored to the individual's own healthcare needs. Yoga therapy tools can be applied to many health conditions and as an adjunct therapeutic tool.

Yoga therapy is heart-centered and available for all people, just as they are.
* Stress and coping
* Mental health
* Chronic pain and injuries
* Medical conditions and surgeries
* Neurologic issues and brain health
* Healthy aging
* Posture and physical health
* Death and grief

I look forward to meeting you, may you all be safe and healthy.

Hi Folks! how are you all? 🙂
As some of you know I've been swimming in the beautiful endless ocean that is Yoga! Practicing, learning and embodying to the best of ability as a sadhak and a vidyarthi. I'm now in my last year as a clinical yoga therapist in training(Beaumont Integrative Medicine) melding the ever intertwined paths of science, philosophy and spirituality and I've had the utmost scared privilege of already being of service, doing this work as a Yoga Therapist.
I'm focusing on the areas of yoga therapy for trauma recovery, resilience, PTSD, brain health, neurological conditions, anxiety, stress management, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, coping skills, health prevention, death and grief, spirituality, substance misuse and more.
I've found such life giving purpose in combining evidence based research, neurobiology, somatic psychology, biofield therapies(such as therapeutic reiki) with the ancient wisdom of yoga and my South Asian indigenous knowledge of Buddhism together to be of service.
Yoga therapy for me always heart and resilience based, It'll be my highest honor to walk the path with you!
Have questions or to book a session reach out via Total Health & Wellness Associates, PLLC

Walking this path together with you,
Shay
