Lisa Woolman - RYT-500, Ayurvedic Counselor.
Yin Yoga Therapy
2 - 3:30 pm, Thursdays
Lisa draws on the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga to bring tools for modern individual wellness goals. Yoga Therapy offers the practitioner the tools to change their relationship to body, mind and environment. This process empowers the capacity to notice, and then change habitual patterns that show up in the body/mind. A yoga therapist’s focus is the process of “unpeeling the layers” that obscure the awareness underneath our bodily experience: thoughts, emotions, beliefs, personality, and social or environmental contexts. Through yoga practice, the therapist and client journey together, creating space for connection to awareness to unfold.
