Mind + Body

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a touch-based process that combines yoga postures, practitioner presence, and client-directed dialogue. The use of yoga postures serves to facilitate awareness of the body, particularly the connection between one's internal responses and movement or holding of tension in the body. Practitioner presence is created through non-judgmental witnessing within a comfortable and safe environment. Client–directed dialogue can enable one's ability to integrate or articulate one's experience, in the moment.

Clients have found Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy to be beneficial for a wide variety of situations and conditions including relationship issues, stress release, chronic pain, general malaise, resistance to change, and healing from past abuse. Reported benefits have included an increased awareness of needs, facilitation of problem-solving and decision-making, increased vibrancy and creative energy, promotion of personal growth and empowerment, or deep relaxation.

"Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an holistic healing art. It invites presence and awareness, rather than prescribe treatments. Using age-old yogic approaches to deeper presence and awareness we are able to know ourselves more fully. Out of this knowing, we are more easily moved to embrace the opportunity for change, growth and enhanced well being in body, feelings, thought, and spirit."
