Frequently Asked Questions
Intake: Prior to your first session, you will complete an extensive intake with questions about your medical history, lifestyle, diet and digestion, hobbies and interests, and spiritual and religious affiliation, if any. You will also be asked to reflect on your goals. By design this is an exceptionally thorough process to ensure you get a fully personalized experience to support your success.
Welcome Session: During your welcome session, I may assess your posture, breathing, strength, range of motion, and will further discuss your intake. Based on this session, I will provide a short practice you can begin integrating into your daily life.
Program + Practice Session: You will receive your custom program based on the intake and welcome session, which will include a range of tools and techniques designed just for your specific needs, and for you to practice outside of our time together.
Followup + Check-in Sessions: we will reflect on how things are going for you, and adjust your practice as needed. These sessions are critical for accountability and adjusting your program if necessary.
Yoga is so much more than postures. It is a comprehensive system that also includes breathing, visualization, mediation, subtle energetic practices, mantra, chanting, philosophy and ethics, scripture, self-inquiry, and more. You can think of Yoga as an iceberg: postures may be what we only see on the outside, but the deeper practice for lasting transformation lays under the surface.
Your program may or may not include postures, depending on what you need. I've found the more inflexible you are - physically and mentally - the greater the possibility for transformation.
While there may be similarities and some overlap between Yoga therapy and a private yoga class, here is a simple way to describe both. One approach is not necessarily better than the other; it all depends on what you need:
Private Yoga:
• can offer tools and techniques for symptom relief
• adapts the person to the practice
• may offer individual or small group practices rooted in Yoga
Yoga therapy:
• seeks to understand root causes of suffering
• adapts the practice to the person
• offers a multidimensional lens to understand yourself, your patterns, and how you move through the world
• provides a personalized therapeutic program rooted in Yogic science, Ayurvedic medicine, western medicine
• applies a holistic framework and formal, methodical intake and assessment process
As well, Yoga therapists require significantly more training, expertise, and credentialing than private Yoga teachers.
Absolutely. I work with a wide range of clients: those who have never practiced Yoga before, to highly experienced Yoga teachers and Yoga therapists, and everyone in between.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and I will meet you wherever you are on your journey.
My only requirement is your commitment to invest in your own healing through consistent practice. That’s it. While I can neither heal you nor give you a pill, I can support you in feeling better.
No. Yoga therapy is rooted in both modern western science, and a tradition that is more than 5,000 years old. At its core, Yoga is a universal practice designed to cultivate freedom from suffering, accessible to anyone regardless of beliefs or personal traditions. While there is a relationship with Yoga as Hinduism evolved in India, many Yogic practices pre-date Hinduism's origin. I work with clients from all backgrounds, including secular and non-religious to highly devout Catholics, and everyone in between. We can adjust based on your needs and interests.
I highly recommend meeting every 7-10 days to start in order to build initial momentum. If you want the additional support of more frequent sessions to help with accountability, you may prefer to meet twice weekly. Choose whatever works best for you.
To help stay on track toward your goals, I don't recommend spacing our sessions any more than 2 weeks at a time, if possible.
(* Most clients experience more immediate progress and lasting relief when we meet more regularly at first vs. once every few weeks or once per month. More often than not, we tend to forego our self-care when schedules fill up. Speaking from extensive personal experience: when we prioritize our health and commit to holding ourselves accountable through professional support, other aspects of our lives also tend to improve - sometimes drastically.)
I offer both virtual and in-person options. There are benefits to both, and you are free to mix and match as needed. Choose what works best for you.
Virtual Sessions:
✔︎ more scheduling flexibility
✔︎ available anywhere in the world
✔︎ save driving time
✔︎ as appropriate, sessions may also be recorded for to reference later
In-Person Sessions: Greenwood Village or Parker, Colorado:
6200 S Syracuse Way Suite 260, Greenwood Village, CO 80111
OR
19590 Mainstreet Suite 202, Parker, CO 80138
✔︎ if necessary or appropriate, gentle hands-on support or assists
✔︎ additional guidance for using props
✔︎ human energetic connection often lost through a computer screen
While I do not currently take insurance, I do offer payment plans and occasionally offer equitable pricing models. Once you complete your intro package, I recommend booking a concierge package, which offers the best value on a sustainable monthly subscription model.
Your commitment to practicing on your own, outside of our sessions together, is a critical part of the process. Depending on your goals and needs, I may also provide recordings and other resources to help you stay on track with your goals.
(Yoga therapy is not a one-time quick-fix, nor is it as simple as taking a pill. If you are committed to investing in your own healing, you can benefit significantly from our work together. I've seen incredible transformations. You can read more here.)
