Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) uses assisted yoga postures, meditation, and breathwork to allow an individual to bring awareness to the body, the mind, and the relationship between the two. Personal transformation becomes possible as deeply held tensions are explored, released, and integrated. Dialogue allows you to focus on what you are experiencing by noticing sensations, emotions, memories, or images that are present in your body. Clients often discover that patterns of habitual physical and/or emotional tension are often linked to ways of thinking and being in daily life.

Each session includes an integration period to assist you in processing your experience and to help you explore how you can bring your insights into action. Sessions are 75- 90 minutes with instructor Judy O'Leary Thapa and no prior yoga experience is necessary. Please contact Absolute Yoga with further questions and to schedule a session with Judy.

Other benefits of PRYT may include:

• Release of fears, anxieties and stress.
• Enhancement of body awareness, strength and flexibility.
• Alleviation of pain caused by tensions, stiffness of joints, loss of mobility, etc.
• Facilitation of problem-solving and decision-making.
• Greater clarity around life issues.
• personal growth and an on-going transformation in body, mind and spirit.
• Deep relaxation

PRYT can be a wonderful support for any one facing challenging transitions in their lives including expecting and new mothers. It is also a way to begin or deepen yoga and meditation practices.
