What Is Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy? As we struggle to keep up with the hectic pace of our busy lives, we may find ourselves longing for simplicity, inner peace, and deeper meaning, for a way to heal our bodies, our spirits, and our lives. Though at times we look for outside sources to guide us, somewhere deep inside we know that we must slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and listen to our own inner voice. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, through a combination of classical yoga techniques and elements of contemporary body-mind psychology, encourages this deeper connection with self. A Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session is a one-on-one process lasting one-and-a-half hours. Through assisted yoga postures and non-directive dialogue, practitioners guide clients to experience the connection of their physical and emotional selves. Using focused breathing, this connection is held and explored, fostering release, personal growth and healing. |
| Travel to Uncharted Territory Overcome Huge Obstacles Find Buried Treasure The Pilot is YOU In a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session, you will be guided to explore the sensations that are present in your body and the issues that are present in your life. There is a link — it's called the "body-mind connection." We Call It YOGA For thousands of years yoga has offered a way to bring body, mind, and spirit into harmony. In developing Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Michael Lee added elements of contemporary psychology congruent with yoga psychology to create a powerful, safe, and effective path to wellness. A path that goes beyond the mind...even beyond the body.... This is SOUL WORK We believe that true healing takes place from the inside out. And that healing goes hand in hand with self-awareness. Through assisted yoga postures and guided breathing, you are safely brought to your edge of physical sensation - the amount of stretch for you that feels "just right"- not too much and not too little. Here, with focused awareness and practitioner support you enter a dialogue. It's not about fixing or analyzing anything. You simply tune in and listen to your body's wisdom without judgment or the need to change anything. You may release underlying tension, emotions, or beliefs that have manifested in chronic pain. And you may feel deeply relaxed as a result. No Experience Necessary Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is delivered one on one. Your skilled practitioner can create a session that's just right for you regardless of your yoga experience or level of flexibility or physical condition.
