Yoga For Therapy
Yoga Therapy in Arlington, Charlottesville, & Richmond, Virginia
Healing Isn’t Always From the Inside Out.
Consider this: while talk therapy and changing the quality of your thoughts can be extremely beneficial, there are lots of things we do every day that focus on feeling better from the outside in, versus the other way around.
You may go for regular runs because it’s so much easier to sleep at night when you do this consistently. Or you may stay away from fried food because it’s better for your chronic health condition or your energy. Either way, this is working from outside in to take of your well-being.
Combining The Right Tools For The Biggest Impact.
With the addition of trauma-informed yoga in your mental health services, you can have the best of outside-in and inside-out tools for feeling better, faster. Intensives allow for the combination of mindful movement with evidence-based talk therapy methods. So that you achieve your desired breakthrough.
Using Your Body in Yoga For Therapy As A Resource.
When you engage your body in purposeful and mindful movement, you give yourself the gift of accessing your body’s silent wisdom. This is the wisdom of generations of learning, recovery, overcoming, and rebirth. Yoga for therapy links you to all of it and turns your body into an asset for your mental health.
How I Use Yoga For Therapy
Trauma-Informed Yoga is a unique and specialized service. One that understands that many of us have experienced some kind of threat or violation to our bodies. It has become more common knowledge in recent years that trauma, of any kind, tends to live in the body long after the initial hurt has passed. So by targeting these wounds with mindful movement can open the door for greater empowerment and recovery for those seeking mental health services.
The beauty of trauma-informed yoga is how it allows us to not only reduce physical weakness and aches and pains but also increase our mental resilience and enhance our emotional state across all types of settings, such as work, home, and social situations.
Yoga therapy sessions help you to be more present with your own emotions in a way that feels safe and manageable. It also gives you a greater sense of independence and trust in yourself. Rather than teaching you to be overly dependent on your therapy provider. This is so important for your feeling of confidence and your ability to listen to yourself!
Begin Addressing Your Emotional Needs With Yoga Therapy
Addressing your emotional needs through a therapy intensive using yoga allows you the necessary extended time to safely process your thoughts and feelings. Without feeling rushed or prematurely pushed out of the therapy space. My sessions are generally 3 hours in length. Though some clients may be offered the option for 90-minute intensive sessions, depending on the treatment needs.
If you take the leap to get started with treatment for your specific concerns, you likely feel like my average client, who is not only grateful for the comprehensive healing process but also wishes they had scheduled their intensive much sooner! Contact me today.
