Ayurvedic Yoga, Pranayama, & Sensory
Therapy Programs
I prescribe individualized practices that include Yoga asanas, Pranayama (breathing practices), meditations, & other sensory therapies to bring balance to the body, mind, & senses. I bring all of my yogic, mediation, Sanskrit, and chanting knowledge to create an individualized approach to subtle therapies and the Vedic arts for both the healing and prevention of disease.

Preliminary Consultation – approximately 2 hours.
We will assess your unique physical and psychological profile through questions and various Ayurvedic diagnostic techniques. Through this, we will determine your Prakruti (Ayurvedic constitution & genetic makeup) as well as your Vikruti (current state of imbalance). We’ll then devise a healthcare wellness plan specific to your needs.

The Discovery Consultation is scheduled one week after the Preliminary Consultation. During this time we will go over the data and diagnosis from the Preliminary Consultation. We will discuss foundational principles of Ayurveda, your Prakruti (constitution & genetic makeup) as well as Vikruti (current state of imbalance).
We will introduce the first steps in your Ayurvedic Yoga Program. Diagnosis, recommendations, and instructions are discussed (may include breathing practices, meditation, & other sensory treatments to balance body, mind, & the senses).
Follow-Up Consultations

For those individuals that have completed the Preliminary & Discovery Program. Each individual follow-up consultation is recommended every two to four weeks.

Maintaining a continuing relationship is optimal to plan on six months to a year of support in order to develop a consistent, and deeply integrated practice.
What To Expect & My Background
What to expect
Ayurvedic Yoga is personalized healthcare and there is no one size fits all approach. This program will span over the course of a few months. During this time you will be slowly, intentionally, and gently guided towards more health-affirming practices to manage diseases and work on long-term health goals. At the same time, you will learn how to manage the doshas and better understand their effects on our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. The goal is to become self-reliant and empowered to manage your own health.
