What is Yoga Therapy?
My approach to private yoga is rooted in therapeutic principles—blending the wisdom of yoga with modern psychology to create a personalized practice that meets your unique needs. Through intentional movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, we work together to support healing, embodiment, and greater strength—both inside and out.

Postpartum Support & Embodiment Group
Motherhood is the best, but let’s be honest—it’s tough! Sleepless nights, the invisible mental load, and don’t even get me started on the laundry. It can all feel like too much.
What if you had a safe space to connect with other moms who totally understand? A place to share your experiences, learn practical tools to manage anxiety and overwhelm, and even get your body moving?
This Group is for You if:
- You’re in the early stages of motherhood and just trying to figure it all out.
- You’re a seasoned mom who needs adult conversation that isn’t about potty training and feeding schedules.
- You’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others.
- You have questions about your postpartum body or want guidance on how you can add movement back into your busy life.
- You’re ready to prioritize yourself, even if it feels impossible.
What You’ll Get:
We cover topics like:
- Navigating the monumental shift into motherhood and redefining your identity
- Reconnecting with the physical changes of postpartum through core and pelvic floor education and movement strategies
- Managing anxiety, mom guilt, and the mental load by embracing self-care that actually works
- Acknowledging the feat of feeding your baby and learning strategies to care for both of you in the process
- Finding practical ways to nourish yourself in between diaper changes and tummy time—education about postpartum nutrition from an expert in the field
- Building a support system that has your back and reengaging with the one that’s been there all along
This therapeutic group blends support, discussion, and yoga practices, including gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. Each session will explore a unique theme to help you navigate this transformative time with more ease and confidence.
