Private Somatic Yoga Therapy
Individual Somatic Yoga Therapy. Work one on one to discover the patterns you have in your body, with Somatics, and how to change them by releasing chronically tight/contracted muscles, engaging muscles you're not using, and developing a home practice that helps you stay in control of these patterns. Learn how to move with more freedom and less pain/strain. Assessment and guidance will also include an analysis of your breath pattern. Breath is one of our biggest tools to change EVERY body system quickly, including the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and cardiac system. If you’re breathing in a compromised way, these systems will be affected in a negative way. Doing Breath Re-Education will affect these systems in a positive way! Sessions may also include a basic Ayurveda assessment to teach you daily self care techniques depending on your body, or dosha, type, using ancient yogic guides and maps such as the Kosha layers and Yamas and Niyamas as well as the tools of Occupational Therapy to help with functional movement. A detailed home program is given with each session and Pam will work with you to find a program that fits in YOUR life and schedule.
***Home/Work Assessment. Pam will come to your home or workplace to make recommendations for workplace set up, home set up, home safety, etc.
***Virtual Somatic Yoga Therapy sessions are available via Zoom! Please email us if interested in having a virtual SomaYoga session in YOUR home!
***Partner Somatic Yoga Therapy - private sessions can be done with a partner - a spouse, a friend, etc! Sessions will be 90 minutes and are at a higher rate, to make sure the needs of both partners are being met. This can be a great way to help establish practices that you can help each other with, or reinforce with each other.

Somatic Yoga Therapy for Sports Teams
Roosevelt high school volleyball team
When we train for specific motions in sports, we develop patterns that cause some muscles to become unconsciously contracted and tight. This, in turn, can cause loss of motion or strength, imbalances in joints causing pain, impingement or other joint problems. Somatic Yoga Therapy teaches athletes how to rebalance through the deep core muscles, to help prevent pain and injury and increase performance. Price will vary due to location, length of sessions, and number of participants.
