Private Therapeutic and Restorative Yoga

I am offering private yoga sessions for people who would like to deepen their practice. I will teach private students techniques that will help them in a group setting or in their own practice. I have learned a great deal from my private clients. I feel that it is helpful for the student to come at least four times if one is new to yoga, and if you are experienced it might be helpful to get one on one observation.

The best compliment I have had from a client was that after the session, she felt it was better than a massage. In essence, yoga is giving yourself a massage with the help of good instruction. I have been practicing yoga for nearly twenty years, and I continue to learn each time I practice. I have taken private lessons from several teachers, and my teacher Pam Schulte helped me immensely in private lessons.

I will start out a session by talking with you and seeing what you would like to accomplish in a private lesson. Then we will take it a step at a time and see what would be helpful to your practice and keep you safe. This is the number one goal in yoga, to be safe and to heal your own body.

I am knowledgeable in Hatha yoga (general), as well as Astanga (regimented). I also specialize in Senior Therapeutic yoga, and help people with restricted abilities to not only help them move, but hopefully learn to live better with their bodies. Yoga will help you restore your spirit, body, and mind. Please contact me if you would like more information.

Spiritual Direction – Offering to be a mentor of the Spirit, ecumenical in nature, specializing in helping the individual listen to their higher self and to discern how one might apply this to their own journey. I studied many tools to help people in this walk, including meditation, listening skills and right/left brain techniques.

What is Spiritual Direction?

I like to say that I am a spiritual mentor, not a director. It is semantics only, but I feel that I am journeying with the person, not leading them. It is listening to one's journey, with no preconceived ideas or judgments. I believe Spiritual Direction is being present together in a safe place and learning to listen to our small voice or gut, in order to process our world around us.

I will help you listen, by modeling and also offering up practices that might help you to do it for yourself. I do not have the answers, nor will I say that you will glean the answers in Spiritual Direction. The more important aspect is to validate your questions, and then possibly one day, the answer will come.

I am not affiliated with any specific church, even though I did study at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, which is a Methodist Seminary. I now attend the St. Louis Friends Meeting, which is the religious Society of Friends or Quakers, and do consider myself Christian. I am a very open person, and I have studied many religions and people within the spiritual traditions of our world, whether it is Rumi, the Bhagavad Ghita or Psalms.

I would suggest that if you are interested in Spiritual Direction, I would plan on at least three sessions, one time a month for an hour and a half. This will give us enough time to establish a relationship and to see if this would be something that we would like to continue to develop or not.

I am also open to having some time in Spiritual Direction as well as a private yoga lesson, and then you would need approximately two hours for both. Please contact me for more information.
