The one-on-one PhysioYoga experience is tailored to you— to your experience, to your body, to your goals.

Yoga is an outstanding tool for enhancing your movement because it offers:

  • BODY-WEIGHT RESISTED STRENGTHENING which is more functional for your everyday movement

  • BALANCE TRAINING for injury and fall prevention

  • FLEXIBILITY for full range of movement in all joints for optimal function

  • A VARIETY OF NOVEL MOVEMENT to address habitual patterns and areas of weakness

  • BREATH AWARENESS to deactivate a pain-sensitized nervous system

  • MINDFUL MOVEMENT for global care of your mind, body and spirit

PhysioYoga has the added benefits of being:

  • SUPPORTIVE: Props such as blocks, bolsters, straps and blankets make the poses accessible regardless of your current capabilities

  • PERSONALIZED: Modifications and progressions to fit your body’s strengths, limitations and needs

  • CUSTOMIZED: Goal-oriented individualized routines to optimize movement in all regions of your body

  • HANDS-ON: Adjustments implementing physiotherapy skills (i.e., myofascial and muscle release techniques, needling, cupping) to combine therapeutic intervention with yoga practice

All poses are designed to be transferrable from the clinic setting to the comfort of your own home so that yoga can become part of your life too! PhysioYoga sessions are currently offered on a one-on-one basis and are billable through insurance. I hope to be able to offer group sessions soon for the added benefit of cultivating community.

 
 

FAQ:

  1. I have been doing yoga for years. What does PhysioYoga have to offer that I’m not getting in a yoga class?

    From your very first session, you will discover what happens when physiotherapy and yoga are blended to create a totally new experience to benefit your physical, emotional, and mental health.

    When we meet, my questions to you will start with “Where is your practice now, and where would you like to go?”  In my experience, each class and each teacher has something new and different and enlightening to offer. What I will offer you is a deepening awareness of alignment and biomechanics for injury prevention, modifications, and adjustments that can enhance your experience, and progressions that can help you achieve your goals.

  2. I have never done yoga, and frankly, I don’t think I can. Why should I give PhysioYoga a try?

    In reply to this question, I would ask, “What is your impression of yoga?” For many people (including me at first) yoga is thought to involve many contortionist-like positions or balancing on your head. For some practitioners of yoga, that’s entirely possible. But yoga, as it was originally intended, is nothing more than moving (or not moving) in a way that is comfortable for your body and feeds your soul. If that is something you’re interested in exploring, I would love to be your guide.

  3. I tried yoga and hated it. Why on earth would I want to do PhysioYoga?

    One of the first questions I will ask is, “What did you hate about your yoga experience?” PhysioYoga is a one-on-one experience, and as such, can be adjusted to accommodate you. You may have hated yoga, but PhysioYoga is something entirely different--an experience that will be totally enjoyable and beneficial for you. You may even love it!
