Sivananda Yoga Health Educator Consultations

Do you need support with your health? Do you find yourself stressed often? Low energy? Confusion? Restlessness? Disease diagnosis? Yoga practice and philosophy can help you with understanding and awareness to start your process of self-healing. Face any struggle with less negativity and more faith.  Learn to adapt. The struggle itself is often a big lesson that we resist. Find the way back to your deeper, authentic Self. With compassion and sincerity, the Yoga Health Educator or trainee will go through the health intake process with you and give you recommendations to address your goals. You will be guided through these self-healing practices, which may include dietary/sleep recommendations, yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, relaxation techniques, and more.

Please wear modest, comfortable clothes. All mats, blankets and props needed for the sessions will be provided.
