Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy

"Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an holistic healing art. It
invites presence and awareness, rather than prescribe
treatments. Using age-old yogic approaches to deeper presence
and awareness we are able to know ourselves more fully. Out
of this knowing, we are more easily moved to embrace the
opportunity for change, growth and enhanced well being in
body, feelings, thought, and spirit."

                 — Michael Lee, Founder

I am a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist.  This type of
yoga therapy is a one-on-one person-centered practice that
uses assisted yoga postures along with dialogue.  In a non-
directive fashion, this work creates the space for clients to
discover their ability to heal themselves.  Throughout a session
the practitioner asks the client, “What’s happening now?” and
any response is acceptable, sometimes being explored further.  
The postures and the talking are used to help clients get in
touch with what is present for them during the experience and
to explore how that relates to their lives.

I have had profoundly helpful experiences in receiving this work
and I have seen numerous benefits it has had for others.  
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy seems to be the closest healing
art out there that approaches the work I intend to do: bringing
yoga and psychotherapy together.  And of the various forms of
yoga therapy training, it is most known for its mind-body-spirit
focus.  The training program itself has been a wonderful way to
explore the possibilities of integrating yoga with holistic mental
healing as well as a means to further know and develop myself.
