Wellness and exercise coaching is a one-on-one partnership focused on your movement goals. Together we’ll build a personalized plan to grow your strength, mobility, and confidence. You’ll also learn why each piece matters, so you can keep going on your own. Coaching works well if you want structure and accountability, or if you’d like expert guidance as you take on new activities like running, lifting, or getting back to the sports and hobbies you love.

Yoga therapy applies the tools of yoga to your individual needs and goals: movement, breath, awareness, and relaxation. It isn’t a group class. Sessions are tailored to you and look at the whole person: body, nervous system, and mind. Yoga therapy can be especially helpful for anyone navigating persistent pain, stress, or a complex health picture who wants a gentler, more holistic approach to feeling at home in their body. Yoga therapy is also a great option for those who already practice yoga but are struggling with how to adapt their practice or return to practice after experiencing pain, injury, or illness.

People come to coaching and yoga therapy for many reasons. You might:

• Have finished physical therapy but still notice a gap between what you can do and what you want or need to do

• Be preparing for or recovering from surgery and want education and support alongside your medical team’s plan

• Be struggling with strength or range of motion and want a program to help you reach your goals

• Feel fearful or unsure about an activity, like running or deadlifts or backbends, and want guidance and support to approach it with confidence

• Be living with persistent or systemic pain (for example, related to hypermobility, autoimmune conditions, cancer, or complex regional pain syndrome) and want a holistic, whole-person approach to movement and participation in the activities you love

• Coach or teach movement yourself and want more confidence working with people who experience pain

• Simply want to understand how pain works and what that means for how you move

Your first session (60-70 min) is a conversation about your history, your goals, and what’s getting in your way. We’ll explore how you move today and talk about where you’d like to go. From there, you’ll leave with a clear, personalized plan and practices you can start right away.

Follow-up sessions (30-50 min) build on that foundation and adjust as you progress, so your plan always fits where you are.

Coaching and yoga therapy are educational and motivational services rooted in movement, mind-body practices, and lifestyle. They’re built for the space between “I’m cleared” and “I’m thriving.” They don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions, and they don’t replace care from your physician or physical therapist. Instead, they give you the knowledge, guidance, and steady support to keep moving toward the life you want to live. And sometimes a fresh approach opens up new possibilities, even with something you’d assumed you just had to live with.

Choose coaching if your goals are about performance and capability: getting stronger, building a program, or tackling a specific activity with confidence and a holistic framework.

Choose yoga therapy if you’re looking for a gentler, whole-person approach rooted in yogic principles and practices. This is a great option especially if pain, stress, or a complex health history is part of your story.

Both!
