Private Yoga and Yoga Therapy

Activate your inner pharmacy

Self Care is the New Health Care… Gentle is the New Advanced

Dealing with chronic illness or stress?

Yoga, breath work and meditation provide coping mechanisms to support you in embracing the emotional and physical challenges of living with illness, injury, or chronic stress.

Private yoga provides individualized support that empowers individuals to use ancient healing practices as a complement to Western modern medicine to positively influence wellness habits.

Without the wisdom of teachers, my capacity to share would be deeply limited. I am grateful for the clear vision of teachers before me, their willingness to lead with authenticity and share their experiences of finding and maintaining whole health. It is a privilege to participate in passing their insight and stories to peers as well as the next generation!

Sincere gratitude for: Genevieve Yellin and the entire Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy collective (TIYT), Dr Stephen Porges, Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, Lori Rubenstien Fazzio, Eleanor Criswell, Joseph LePage, Lilian Lepage, Maria Mendola, and many teachers from the Drake University College of Pharmacy and Iowa State University.

Imagine a healing yoga session tailored to your individual needs

Are you ready to take a holistic approach to building resilience using the yoga toolbox?

Despite the mainstream popularity of group yoga classes, they are often NOT the best entry point for those new to yoga, and especially anyone with physical imbalances, injuries or chronic conditions.

While it’s true that if you can breathe, you can practice yoga, it requires an experienced guide to adapt the practice; offering modifications to physical postures, breath work to pilot the nervous system, and meditative practices.

Yoga is never intended to provide medical diagnosis or serve as a substitute for medical advice.

Two choices to manifest change and return to balance

Private Yoga

One-to-one attention to asana and breath tailored to your physical and emotional bodies and your busy schedule.

Private yoga is more like a group yoga class of moving and breathing with the full attention of the instructor to assist you in growing your practice.

Private yoga clients want to practice yoga and are relatively healthy but want yoga to fit into their schedule, need an accountability partner to show up for self-care, or are new to yoga and want to refine their alignment or breathing patterns to gain confidence in the practice.

What Others Have to Say

It was an incredible experience! I signed up for the 8 lesson private package and it was more than I expected- I knew we would cover many different poses, but I learned so much about yoga, breathing techniques, meditation... I appreciated the balance between studying the eight limbs and my requests for specific poses. I have continued practicing at home, and I feel like I now have a solid foundation. I also feel much more confident in group classes. Thank you so much!

Signing up for yoga therapy with Sandy was one of the best decisions I have made for myself in a long time. I initially looked into it because physical therapy did not seem to be resolving my concerns. During the 8 sessions with Sandy and home studies, I experienced physical and emotional healing that exceeded my expectations. My daily routines have been altered based on what I learned and experienced. I am thankful for Sandy’s guidance on this journey

It’s hard to find the right words to express how much I’ve benefited from private yoga training with Sandy. In group classes, my head told me, “…you can do better than that…” and I would inevitably push myself too far, so I decided yoga was too hard for me. In private lessons, Sandy explained how the body softens and opens if we listen carefully to our inner voice. After several months of work, I have gained confidence in my practice and understand the genuine benefits. I know how my body responds to stretching, strengthening and movement. I’m still taking private lessons and the benefits are so much more than I could have imagined.

Sandy is an amazing yoga teacher and a beautiful healer; yoga therapy sessions with her were instrumental to healing following a major accident. She created a breathing and movement sequence that was individualized to my needs and abilities- in addition to challenging asana flows that promoted whole body strength and balance. Sandy taught me the physical, emotional and spiritual dynamics of healing while identifying contraindicated movements; helping me to receive the maximum benefit from my practice.
