PYT Graduate Opens New Integrative Physical Therapy Practice

If you asked me three years ago if I’d be teaching small yoga classes, I’d say, hmmm, probably not in the plans.   But yet, I have vaulted into a new venture to cultivate my “yoga side.”  

Yoga sutra 1.2, yoga chitta vritti nirodhah: Yoga offers a quieting or channeling of the fluctuations of the mind-stuff or field. I believe I was able to quiet my mind to allow for things to just happen…  to allow myself to be receptive rather than asking for something.  And here I am…I have now ventured into a new chapter without even realizing that it was in the grand plan.  

I started studying with Professional Yoga Therapy Studies (PYTS) in hopes of gaining more tools for my tool belt as a physical therapist.  I never had any intention of teaching group classes. I now have a small studio space in which I am teaching small group classes, as well as private sessions, JustBreathePT.  My mission is to blend Western and Eastern medicine to provide my clients/students with the tools to empower their own self-healing.  I can still be found at my full time position at Alameda Orthopedic and Sports Therapy for physical therapy evaluations and treatments.  

I offer you safety in my science background of physical therapy blended with the subtleties of yoga. Services include small group yoga classes, as well as private yoga therapy sessions. I am also willing to make house visits.

I urge you to look at yourself in the eyes of wellness.  You are not a diagnosis, or a body part.  You are a combination of mind, body and spirit.
