Whole Person Health and Healing

Let me support your health and healing. I offer customized private yoga, yoga therapy and exercise to fit your individual needs and goals.

Yoga and Corrective Exercise can be beneficial for:

  • Reducing aches and pains
  • Prehab for injury prevention or surgery
  • Improving your strength, mobility, flexibility, and balance
  • Reducing stress, lessening anxiety and reducing depression
  • Improving sleep and mood
  • Support for various chronic conditions
  • Improving functional movement for work and the activities you love

In our work together, I investigate your health needs or symptoms and offer personalized tools and solutions for supporting and/or mitigating them. We will begin with a comprehensive intake session to discuss your needs and goals. I will examine your body mechanics, teach you techniques, movement and exercises, and guide and support you with ways to improve upon your overall well-being. Ongoing work includes reassessment, fine-tuning and maintenance as needed to keep you on your path.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy is a whole body approach that supports your specific physical, mental and emotional needs and goals. It benefits your mind-body awareness and can help improve your quality of life within a therapeutic relationship that includes a holistic assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga and movement practices. Most important, you’re an active participant on your path to wellness.

Unsure of the difference between yoga instruction and yoga therapy? While yoga itself is deeply beneficial, yoga therapy is a distinct profession that bridges the ancient wisdom of yoga with clinical practice and modern healthcare knowledge. Learn more here: Yoga Therapy in Healthcare.

A one-on-one yoga practice can be a great way to build strength, flexibility and stability and reduce body tension and stress. Yoga therapy sessions can target pain or injury, support common diagnoses and conditions, and even help improve loss of sensation resulting from medical procedures. Research shows that yoga can also be helpful for health conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive disorders, headaches, menopause, insomnia, arthritis, scoliosis, fibromyalgia and more.

I offer both in-person* and online yoga therapy and private yoga, and package pricing is available. Online yoga therapy and private yoga sessions are by Zoom.

*I am currently not accepting new in-person yoga therapy and private yoga clients. Please check back periodically or contact me directly for any questions.

 

 

Corrective Exercise & Movement

Corrective exercises are targeted exercises that address poor posture, muscular imbalances, pain and injuries, and they are specifically designed to target and strengthen weak muscles while releasing or stretching tight ones. My Corrective Exercise & Movement work blends my personalized yoga therapy approach with my rehabilitation exercise experience working in healthcare with those experiencing pain and other chronic conditions.

Together we pinpoint movements and activities that cause you pain or hinder optimal movement, then work on making small, impactful changes. This isn’t about traditional gym workouts to get stronger or faster; instead, we emphasize posture, postural strength, nervous system regulation, and improving your strength, balance and mobility through subtle, precise movements. It’s functional restoration for your body to help you work better and do the things you love. I meet you where are. In addition, the benefits extend beyond physical improvement. Many individuals report a boost in mood and energy levels and improved balance, mindfulness, and sleep.

Your corrective plan and movement may incorporate self-myofascial release tools, stretching, strengthening, movement re-education, breathwork and lifestyle suggestions. Strengthening could include bodyweight exercises or use of weight, bands, etc.

In-person Corrective Exercise and Movement services are offered at Auburn Corrective Massage Therapy, 472 North Dean Rd, Suite 205, Auburn, AL 36830.
