My favorite way to describe yoga is that the poses are linked together like jewels on a necklace; the string is the breath that connects disparate pieces into a unified whole.

I fell in love with yoga practice in which the “asanas” (poses) are linked together in a sequence because it felt like a moving meditation.

Moving continuously in and out of each yoga posture was a way of keeping my body moving but allowing my mind to become still.

To an over-thinker, this was the ultimate form of Self-Compassion.

And becoming a yogi changed the entirety of my life for the better. ✨

This is Bekah and she USED to have debilitating back pain. As in: she DOESN’T HAVE PAIN ANY MORE.

This research also suggests that keeping your fascia healthy through focused movement, gentle stretching and Myofascial Release helps downregulate pain perception globally, not just locally.

This is my FAVORITE Myofascial Release Technique for alleviating upper back and shoulder strain.

Try it:

Yoga Therapeutics melds yoga poses, meditation, breathing techniques and myofascial release to strengthen the mind-body connection and heal physical injuries.

For me, there is NO distinction between mental health and physical health. ✨

Living a life of Health and Wholeness requires me to pay VERY close attention to my mental perceptions, my mindset and my anxiety because I know that every neurological reaction to an external event is a WHOLE HUMAN experience.

I support my Whole Human Experience with EMDR therapy, daily vegetables and B vitamins, generalized anxiety medication, stress-reducing breathing techniques and neural “re-set” exercises… And a TON of Yoga Therapeutics. (I mean, a TON. No exaggeration.)
