Yoga Therapy
If coaching is getting helpful tools and a kind listening ear for a wide array of learning challenges and caregiver concerns, then yoga therapy would be diving deep into the ocean with a trusted diver, holding a safe and secure container for you to explore significant blockages that still seem to keep lingering (trauma, soul sickness, massive grief, deep anxiety, significant overwhelm).
As a Certified International Association of Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Sarah enjoys offering yoga therapy clients an expansive scope of practice toolbox of tools that she can share in and out of session thru the journey of a comprehensive intake assessment session, followed by routinely scheduled individual sessions where each session helps build upon the client’s chosen ‘chief complaint.’ Yoga Therapy is client-centered, so every custom session and overall client yoga therapy plan is custom to the individual’s agency centered care- her needs and focus are everything that is kept safe and secure in a HIPAA compliant care plan. We go together where she wants to go, at her pace, in her way. Sarah is the honored to be there with you as a guide.
Movement / Sarah
Sarah became a yoga therapist after decades of processing significant childhood abuse trauma, complex PTSD, and deep soul sickness. She loves the tools of professional counseling/therapy but found that there was a space after talk sessions where her spirit needed something more, and yoga therapy for her was the more.

Yoga Therapy includes:
The yoga therapy framework:
• Uses and modifies practices of yoga therapy to support the client and help the client manage their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
• Includes yoga practices such as asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), relaxation, meditation, spiritual connection, mudra (energetic gestures and seals), bandha (energy locks), mantra (sacred sounds), mindfulness, bhavana (imagery), sankalpa (affirmation/intention), yogic (and ayurvedic) lifestyle, and dietary advice
•Provides appropriate follow-up and review at regular intervals
A typical intake session will be about 1.5 hours and in it, Sarah will have a friendly chat while she asks you a little bit about what’s going on, where you want to go, and what you’re curious about exploring. In the session she will invite you to do gentle movements such as walking back and forth, and doing certain movements to get eyes on where and what you wish to address and how she can customize the overall plan of care to serve your unique anatomy and journey. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong,’ just what is and where one wishes to go.
Subsequent sessions post intake will keep journeying towards the focus and or goals she wishes to journey to, Sarah helping, assisting, guiding, and directing along the way, adding in new tools and new inquiries to explore outside of scheduled session times. Plan suggestions are invitation, not “gotta do’s” so clients can have exposure and support tools in their toolbox, they always and forever get to choose when and if ever they pull the tools out to utilize them.
