Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an integrative system of supporting the body in positions based on classic yoga postures while using non-directive, verbal techniques.  The therapist does most of the physical work, facilitating a process where the “receiver”  accesses deep inner wisdom for healing and creating change within themselves.

 

Yoga Physical Therapy (Breathercise®), a therapeutic style of yoga trademarked by Libby Robold,  is designed for physical issues that need tending and healing.  In private session, your concerns are studied thoroughly and a tailor-made protocol is designed for you.  Your issues will be viewed in the context of your lifestyle, physical demands, and tendencies, along with your heredity and predisposition.  You will be given a special routine to do at home.  Ayurveda Yoga Therapy/Consultation Ayurveda is the oldest preventative medicine system in the world. Birthed over 5,000 years ago as the Science of Life, Ayurveda teaches us how to live in harmony within our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.  

 

Learning your body mind “type” and how to live and do your yoga practice in the context of your particular blueprint  is the focus of this healing modality.  You learn to adjust your lifestyle, including food choices, activities, relationships that enhance your life.
