Everything you need to know is inside of you
As we move through life our bodies internalize , process and filter our experiences – mostly without our conscious awareness. Our thoughts and feelings remained stored within us and are often the cause of stress, as well as emotional and physical pain or discomfort.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy offers a way to explore the relationship between your body, your mind and your life in private context with a certified, highly trained practitioner. Combining elements of contemporary body-centered psychology, PRYT facilitates the release of physical, mental and emotional tension, often resulting in increased energy.
