Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda
Personalized Sessions
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy offers a holistic, personalized path toward healing and self-discovery. These one-on-one sessions draw from the ancient wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, combined with modern insights into the nervous system, to support your whole being—body, breath, mind, emotions, and spirit.
In yoga therapy, we recognize that past experiences, traumas, and ingrained patterns can become imprinted in the physical body, shaping how we move, breathe, think, and feel. Through the lens of the koshas—the five interconnected layers of being—we work to gently unravel these patterns and restore balance on every level. This might include therapeutic movement, breathwork, guided meditation, lifestyle support, or simply creating space for deep listening and awareness.
Yoga therapy can stand alone or serve as a powerful complement to other healing modalities, such as talk therapy, bodywork, or medical care. It offers a safe, compassionate container to explore what’s beneath the surface, reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom, and support meaningful change from within.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient, time-tested system of holistic medicine that recognizes each person as a unique expression of nature. In an Ayurvedic consultation, we work together to uncover the root causes of imbalance—whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual—through the lens of your constitution (dosha), current state of imbalance (vikruti), digestion, lifestyle, and environment.
These sessions are an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms. You’ll receive personalized recommendations that may include food and lifestyle adjustments, daily routines, breathwork, meditation, and seasonal practices. Rather than offering a quick fix, Ayurveda supports gradual, sustainable change that honors your individuality and meets you where you are.
Ayurvedic consultations can be a beautiful complement to other healing modalities or stand alone as a guide to self-care, resilience, and vitality.

Most clients leave their first session with simple, personalized practices they can begin right away. However, yoga therapy and Ayurveda are not quick-fix approaches. These systems support sustainable, long-term change by addressing patterns that may have been developing for years. Ongoing sessions are often recommended to deepen the work, make adjustments as your needs evolve, and support you in integrating these practices into your daily life in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
