one-on-one therapies
Embodyment®
Spinal freedom is the foundation
for physical, mental and spiritual health. This freedom is generated
from the tailbone where the body holds its most contracted tension.
Embodyment is a simple but profound facilitation of tension release
at the tailbone. Based on the same principles of Svaroopa yoga,
EmbodymentT helps the spine unwind.
In the session, you lie in Shavasana, yoga's relaxation pose, while
the therapist uses gentle, steady touch and awareness to help the
muscle tension at the base of the spine release. Awareness of changes
in the body during the session is encouraged. A simple yoga pose
concludes the session and helps the changes from the therapy integrate
more fully along the whole spine.
Healing continues long after the session ends and reaches areas
beyond the scope of yoga poses. The release experienced in one session
of Embodyment is like attending 6-10 yoga classes.

Svaroopa® yoga Therapy (SYT)
Based on the principles of Svaroopa® yoga, SYT focuses on release of tension in the deep muscles along the spine. The foundation of this release process begins at the tailbone and then extends upward along the spine. The whole body benefits from this approach because the release is generated at the core of the body's physical and nervous system functions. A SYT session combines embodyment® (see above) with yoga poses. Each session is different since it is based on the individual's specific needs. For example, severe illness or chronic pain dictates a gradual approach and the focus may be breathing practices in the beginning. Someone already familiar with Svaroopa® yoga would begin with assisted yoga poses and embodyment®. Multiple sessions allow for the application of a progression of therapy tools and deeper variations of the poses. Guidance for home practice is a part of the sessions and encouraged to maintain the benefits of the therapy.
The openings from a yoga therapy session build a new foundation of ease that becomes the basis for living more freely and comfortably all the time.
The result is a boost to the body's inherent healing capacities, relief from pain, greater mental clarity, more energy and an overall sense of wellbeing.
SYT affects the body, mind and emotions because the spine is the body's core of all aspects of life. SYT sessions help you gain awareness and understanding of the mind/body connection and how the release of physical tensions help ease mental and emotional tensions. SYT is a whole body, whole person therapy for wellness and healing.
