Body-centered therapy for the body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga Therapy is a form of bodywork based on the reality that the mind and the body are not separate and that the connection between them can tell us a lot about what's happening in our lives.  As we struggle to keep up with the hectic pace of life, we may find ourselves looking for simplicity, inner peace, deeper meaning and for a way to heal our bodies, spirits and our lives. Yoga Therapy is a way to connect to that deeper part of ourselves that knows how to support and guide us.

One-On-One Sessions

A session is one-on-one on the floor on a mat wearing comfortable clothes lasting about 75 – 90 minutes. Through gentle assisted yoga stretches (no yoga experience is necessary), self-reflection, breath work, and dialogue you have the opportunity to become aware of what is happening in your body, your mind, your heart, your life. 

Benefits

The benefits may be anything from;

• deep relaxation
• release stress, fears and anxiety
• relief of chronic pain
• emotional release
• past memories
• clarity around life issues
• increased body awareness strength and flexibility

My job as a Practitioner is to create a safe and supported space for you to experience your self as you are in this moment.  Beginning sessions will allow you time to connect with yourself in a non-judgmental atmosphere. This type of work will allow you to reach a deeper understanding of your body, your mind and your spirit.  

What People Are Saying

“It was an amazing experience.  I have not received work (e.g., massage, counseling, etc.) that has made such an impact on my deeper understanding of my true being.  I was surprised to hear how the physical experience was completely linked to the emotional.  It was a life-changing experience.  Kris is fabulous at her work and has such amazing energy.  I trusted her completely and she allowed me space and time to discover myself.  Thank you!”  R.S., Speech Language Pathologist

“I wasn’t sure what to expect but Kris put me right at ease.  No, much more than that.  She invited me into a space where I was totally comfortable and able to open up and explore some things in a way that I hadn’t experienced before.” E.W., Teacher and Student

“Really excellent touch!  Kris is already a fantastic body worker and strong in her yoga experience and I felt she also did a great job of mirroring back what I was saying as opposed to reacting to it or trying to interpret.  Her questions were perceptive and in alignment with what were happening.  She focused on the physical and allowed me to elaborate on the emotional issues in my time.  It felt very safe.” L.G., Travel Agent

“An opening, an invitation into my emotional world to bring it alive and into my whole person.  Kris does a fabulous job at holding space and at encouraging depth in the psyche during poses.  I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Kris and believe that she has a beautiful gift for this work.”  C.C., Massage Therapist

 “There are not sufficient words for it.  Absolutely amazing and wonderful experience.” C.T., General Contractor

“Creative, open, nurturing environment in which to be honest without being judged.” K.O., Retail Sales/Artist

“Extremely relaxing!  Kris has an amazing touch and soothing voice, great eye contact.”  L.M., Therapist

“I think I could deepen into the work with multiple sessions.  I see where my body may have more to tell me about how I live my life.”  H.P., Psychotherapist

“It was the first time I have been able to emotionally let go in any sort of therapy session.  Kris has a very calming voice and touch.  It helped bring my overall tension level down.  I feel comfortable sharing things with Kris, she doesn’t judge.  A very neutral place to express myself.” S.M., Massage Therapist/Waitress
