Our Values
We believe in the importance of transformation, integration, courage, and grace. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can feel comfortable exploring their inner and outer worlds.
Our Services
At Seed Yoga Therapy, we offer a unique and holistic approach to healing through Yoga Therapy. This approach is rooted in the principles of trauma-informed, consent-based, and liberatory practices. Our Yoga Therapy program is designed to help individuals heal from the effects of individual, collective, intergenerational, and systemic trauma.
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy is a body-based approach to healing that combines the principles of yoga and psychotherapy to support individuals in processing trauma, settling and grounding the nervous system, and moving the body/mind/heart toward greater clarity and empowerment.
Our Approach
Our approach to healing is rooted in four pillars:
- Honoring the Nervous System: We believe in the importance of honoring the wisdom of the nervous system and soothing the system when it is stuck in a state of stress.
- Cultivating Discipline: We believe in creating a sense of discipline to support healing while aligning with the body's and nature's inherent rhythms.
- Attuning to the Body and Breath: We believe in anchoring into the body and breath to access the issues that live in the tissues.
- Practicing Mindfulness and Meditation: We believe in steadying the mind through mindfulness and meditation practices to cultivate greater balance and clarity.
What to Expect
When you work with us, you can expect a 2.5-hour intensive intake session to explore your history and current challenges in depth. We will provide you with a detailed plan to follow, including lifestyle recommendations and exercise and meditation practices that you can implement on your own. We will also have two check-ins to refine and expand on the recommendations for your continued growth.
Scheduling a Consultation
If you are interested in exploring Yoga Therapy as a tool for healing, we invite you to schedule a 20-minute video consultation to discuss your needs and see if our program is a good fit for you.
