Yoga Therapy

I am now ready to offer yoga therapy sessions!
In short, this is like therapy but with yoga.
It is a holistic approach to health where each person is responsible for their own health journey, and the yoga therapist can offer tools, guidance and encouragement to make the changes needed for your own health.

In the Sivananda tradition, we follow the simple, yet profound teaching of “Health is Wealth, Peace of Mind is Happiness, Yoga Shows the Way through: Proper Exercise, Proper Breathing, Proper Diet, Proper Relaxation, Positive Thinking and Meditation.”– Swami Vishnu Devananda

As well, we use teachings from the the 4 paths of yoga:

Raja yoga, the yoga of the mind
Bhakti yoga, the yoga of the heart
Karma yoga, the yoga of the body
Jnana yoga, the yoga of the intellect

Availability:

Mondays 8:30-12:30

Tuesdays 8:30-11:30

Tuesday and Thursday evenings upon request.

Price:

Intake $150

Follow ups $120

For the first few months I will offer a special pricing of 5 sessions (including intake) for $601.08+tax

Sessions last 90 minutes.

They can be done virtually, in my home studio in Cantley (recommended), or possibly in your space.

You can email me or call for further information and to book appointments.

With these amazing tools, as well as Ayurveda, yoga therapy will give you the power to connect with and head towards peace with yourSelf.

Yoga Therapy can help with:

Stress/anxiety, sleep issues, chronic or acute pain, muscle issues, diet and digestion issues, mental/emotional challenges, chronic disease, cancer recovery, spiritual seeking and much more. We can work with any obstacle you are facing in life which you are ready to make changes to overcome.

Yoga therapy differs from a yoga class as the therapist knows the story of each client and can tailor the program to specific goals.

Initially, it is recommended to commit for 5 sessions. In the first session we discuss your goals. The session continues with the intake which is a question and answer session where you can share your story.

The following sessions will be part yoga class, and part theory/discussion/workshop. Yoga class can be postures, joint or breathing exercises, yoga nidra (deep relaxation), affirmation creation, self inquiry exercises, and more.
Each session will give you tools to work with on your own to bring you closer to your goals.

Mike has been yoga teacher for several years. I also used his yoga therapy services for a few weeks. His approach is calm, reassuring and without pressure whatsoever. He lets you take the lead in all aspects of your practice or therapy, and supports you with gentle suggestions and guidance along the way. However, he also seems to understand when it is time to challenge yourself. He is empathetic and kind, yet tactful. Therapy with Mike aloud me to learn the skill of simple letting go and being present. I recommend his services highly.

Michael, an experienced therapeutic yoga counselor and teacher, possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively and tailor his approach to address our unique health concerns through yoga therapy. Following my initial session, I experienced a thoughtful and personalized follow-up encounter where he suggested exercises and activities seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. Michael not only adjusted and expanded upon them gradually but did so with a deep understanding of my specific needs. His embodiment of yogic moral philosophy is evident, and his skill in leading sessions that soothe the mind and nurture the body is genuinely remarkable. With extensive experience, Michael effortlessly tailors each session to accommodate various health conditions and physical limitations, making him not just a yoga therapist but a compassionate guide on someone’s path to well-being.
