Yoga Therapy 

Imagine feeling better . . . about your body . . . about yourself . . . about your life. Yoga therapy combines the peace of yoga with working with the emotions to bring your body and mind into a more peaceful state.

How it works
In contrast to talk therapy, yoga therapy works from a physical standpoint and integrates with talk therapy. You don't need any experience with yoga to be able to participate in yoga therapy. We will do yoga poses and then dialogue what is going on for you physically and emotionally.

Let me share an excerpt from “Focusing” by Eugene Gendlin that is related to body work and body knowledge. 

“Most people let their bodies be cramped into the shape of what’s wrong with their lives, being a monument to all the things that are wrong, every moment . . . Often, we feel so much wrong that we come to accept those bad feelings as the basic state of things. But it is not. The bad feeling is the body knowing and pushing toward what good would be.

Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.

The very existence of bad feelings within you is evidence that your body knows what is wrong and what is right. It must know what it would be like to feel perfect or it could not evoke a sense of wrong. . . . You can definitely trust the whole series of steps by which your body moves to resolve and change a wrong state of being. You can trust that, even if the words and understanding of a given step are superseded, that step was the right step to come then, at that moment, and will lead to the right next step from there.”

Vibrantly colored clothing seems to be one constant in Fairy tales, 
except when it is time for a Fairy princess to give birth. 
At that moment the tales clearly state 
that she is dressed in a shade of white
 so pure it shimmers with opulence 
and that all who attend her 
are dressed in the same manner.
