Individual Yoga Therapy is a combination of classical yoga and elements of contemporary mind/body psychology that facilitates a powerful release of physical and emotional tension. This is a one on one process lasting 1 1/2 hours. Through assisted yoga postures and non-directive dialogue, the practitioner guides clients to experience the connection of their physical and emotional selves. Using guided breathing, this connection is held and explored, fostering release, personal growth and healing. "This is intense, yet emotionally safe work that accesses memories and experiences...insight becomes a whole body experience rather than an intellectual exercise alone. I am transformed 'from the inside- out' by this process!" L.W. Individual Yoga Therapy client Time: By Individual Appointment 913.341.6607
