What to expect in a Smallbridge Yoga Therapy session.
​
If you are interested, please book a 15 minute free phone call using the email response form (see contact). We can discuss how I can support you. Once you filled in an intake form, and we have our first intake session, I will create a yoga therapy plan to use as a guide for us to work with.
​
This plan can, and probably will be changed according to your needs. It is recommended that you have
6 sessions as the benefits of yoga therapy can be slow to develop, to fully embed long-lasting lifestyle changes, establishing some new routines, and changes in limiting beliefs.
​
Our first session is the initial consultation, based on your intake form. I may ask you some more questions or ask for clarification. This session takes about 90 minutes, while consecutive sessions take 60 minutes. We working together towards you goal and I will support you with the skills I have to facilitate a session through exploration, safety and regulation. Everything I offer is an invitation.
​
After each session, I will recommend some practices for home work. Healing with yoga therapy comes from developing a home practice
​
I work within the ethical framework of The Minded Institute, where I trained. Yoga therapist are required to have regular supervision in order to work effectively, safely and ethically.
Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.
