Yoga Therapy is Body Psychology
Yoga therapy’s model of health addresses every aspect of life rather than considering each body part of system separately. It is a safe way of working with the natural capacity of your body and mind and breath to optimized well-being by including tools that touch on the whole spectrum of human experience.
All tailored to the individual; involves personalized assessment and goal-setting within the context of a therapeutic relationship.
What is I Am Yoga Therapy™?
I AM Yoga Therapy™ is a total body stretch and opens energy channels. Using wall, prop and assisted poses, you are guided to move into areas of constriction, tightness and pain that you normally avoid. Unresolved mental and emotional tensions keep physical tightness intact and allow the body to continue to create misalignments and prevent optimal healing. I AM Yoga Therapy, also referred to as Body Psychology, is designed to address both visible symptoms and invisible mental and emotional aspects.
While the outcome of a series of Yoga Therapy sessions will vary, often misalignments can be addressed. By holding the body in assisted and various positions for longer periods of time, combined with breath and facilitated dialogue, to help you stay tuned in to what is happening in your body, we can move into places of restriction, and gently and effectively soften or sometimes release them.
Each session is fully customized to meet you where you are at!
You choose the area of focus - physical, mental or emotional - and then allow yourself to be guided through out the experience.

“Rhonda’s Yoga therapy provided a safe environment to ‘notice’; notice my body’s response to posing, notice held areas of tension, notice what happens with relaxation, and notice my thoughts and feelings. I further appreciated the opportunity to then verbally process these noticings with the quiet Presence that Rhonda provides. Truly an amazing experience.”

“Yoga therapy was a very calming and relaxing time for me. Rhonda’s directions and continued rapport throughout the session were simple and easy to understand. I experienced a neat “mental buzz “ towards the end of my session that left me feeling quite refreshed. And the session had me feeling physically better as well. I look forward to future yoga therapy!”

Each session is private and customized for each individual!
During the private one-on-one session, I will facilitate and guide the experience based specifically on the needs of you, the receiver. The receiver communicates when the movement is enough, and where the body is feeling the movement. As the receiver, the opportunity is to relax and be with what shows up in sacred space being held just for you.
Sessions are offered both in-person and online via Zoom.
