Yoga Therapy & Privates

Yoga Therapy is a more specialized approach to yoga based on a person's individualized needs; it is perfect for those interested in healing some aspect of body, mind, and spirit. True yoga therapy is different than physical therapy or any other "treatment-focused" therapy in that it is designed to promote your own healing response; you are not "being fixed" but rather guided in a wise and compassionate way toward greater health, vitality, and well-being.

Are you recovering from a recent surgery, injury, or illness?

Are you a cancer patient or survivor?

Are you trying to get pregnant or enhance your fertility?

Do you have a chronic condition that prevents you from feeling great?

Do you have a child with special needs?

Are you living with a disease that puts stress on you physically and mentally?

While all yoga is "therapeutic," if you have a target area you want to focus on it is best to take a private or class designed for your needs. Laura is a Professional Yoga Therapist, certified at the 1,000 hour level through Integrative Yoga Therapy, and has also trained with Sonia Sumar in Yoga for the Special Child. She will address your needs in a supportive, nurturing manner and help you find a yoga practice that is healing and empowering.

Below is more information about some of the specialty areas that Laura addresses in her practice. She works with many additional conditions and concerns beyond what is listed her so please inquire if you don't see what you're looking for.

Yoga for Cancer Survivors

Yoga for Special Kids
Yoga is a wonderful modality for helping children develop a better connection between mind, body, spirit, and emotions. With regular practice it can improve: coordination, breathing, proprioception, strength, confidence, motor planning, sensory issues, and the ability to relax and reduce stress. In addition to a comprehensive Yoga Therapy certification Laura has trained with internationally known yoga instructor Sonia Sumar in her "Yoga for the Special Child" program. She enjoys working with all types of children, and prior to moving to Colorado she was director of an after school children's learning center in California.

If you have a child with special needs and are interested in yoga therapy it is often recommended to begin as early as infancy, which usually yields greater results. Private sessions are typically the best option in this situation. Examples of the types of conditions I work with:

  • ADD, ADHD
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Visual impairment
  • Down Syndrome
  • Autism Spectrum Disorders
  • Children with cancer

Contact Laura for more information or to schedule a session.

Yoga for Pain, Injuries, Yoga Injuries, and Orthopedic Issues
Yoga therapy is a great modality for pain and injuries, including pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, and yoga injuries. Laura works with many clients who have back, knee, shoulder, and hip problems - including joint replacement and chronic pain.

Other Issues
Aside from what is listed above, other examples of why people turn to yoga therapy include: insomnia, stress, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, heart conditions, weight loss, and more.

Private Session Rates
How it works - During the initial intake session Laura learns about you, your current condition, health history, and goals; and explores how your body and breath move. You will work together to set goals for your progress, which might include additional private sessions, developing a home practice, or transitioning into a group class. While each yoga therapy session is slightly different, most sessions include: relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, postures, meditation, mudra, and guided imagery. Contact Laura for more information or to schedule a session.
