YOGA THERAPY FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS
One-on-one Yoga Therapy Sessions offer an individualized approach that empowers participants to take greater agency in their health with Certified Yoga Therapist Rachel Sammon of Explore Yoga Therapy. Rachel holds Master of Science in Yoga Therapy from the Maryland University of Integrative Health.
Postures are adapted to use the support of a chair or wall for greater safety and stability.
Slow fluid pose sequences increase flexibility and strength while reducing potential for muscle fatigue, overstretching or overheating.
Practices address musculoskeletal imbalance and disease symptoms while cultivating greater focus, relaxation, and ease.
Attention is focused to develop greater proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness.
Participants learn how to listen to and trust their bodies while practicing within their own limits.
Practices help improve regulation of the autonomic nervous system by increasing PNS activation, decreasing SNS over-reactivity and improving vagal tone.
Private Yoga Therapy Session: Initial Consultation (90 minutes)
The yoga therapy process begins with an initial consultation. During this 90-minute session we will discuss your history and lifestyle, any relevant conditions, injuries, or symptoms you may be experiencing, and the reasons you are pursuing yoga therapy. The consultation also includes a physical evaluation to determine where musculoskeletal imbalance may be present in your body. This evaluation involves looking at your posture and habitual movement patterns, as well as the testing of key muscle groups that may be contributing to areas of pain or discomfort. Additionally, we will assess your breathing pattern as dysfunctional breathing can greatly affect our experience at the physical, mental, and emotional levels. Taking all of this into account, we will develop specific and attainable yoga therapy goals that will guide our work together. Following the first session, I will provide you with a personalized plan of care. This is a home practice that you can do between sessions to help you achieve your goals. $110.00
Follow-Up Sessions:
Like the world around us, we are dynamic and always changing. Therefore, what we need from our yoga practice is likely to shift overtime. Follow-up sessions are an important part of the process as they allow an opportunity to track progression, discuss what is working and adapt what is not. Most individuals benefit from 6 weekly/biweekly sessions in the beginning followed by maintenance sessions overtime as needed. Single $90.00 , 5-PACK $425,
Studio Recommendations & Home Practice:
Throughout our work together, we will design and adapt home practice plans for you to do between sessions. These plans can be as short or in-depth as you see fit and will be designed to support your goals. Home practice is a key aspect of yoga therapy. It empowers you to make the practice your own and to do the work necessary to see results.
