Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
By appointment
$70 (60 minutes)

Sensations in your body are often reflective of what is happening in your life. Shoulder tension, neck pain, stiff joints, and more may be signs that you are carrying around unhealthy stress. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a holistic healing art based on the ancient science of Yoga combined with elements of contemporary body-mind psychology. It differs from a yoga class in that it is performed one-on-one, and integrates your emotions with your physical self. Through gentle, assisted yoga postures, breathing techniques and non-directive dialogue, Heather will guide you to experience the connection of your body and mind, fostering release, personal growth and healing.
