Manual Therapy, Hatha Yoga & Ayurveda
“a pioneering approach to healing with the physical-energetic body”
The healing arts of Manual Therapy, Hatha Yoga & Ayurveda incorporate the skills of listening, observation, palpation to develop a relationship to the vital forces in the body. Through one’s own relationship to these vital forces a practitioner can cultivate their own self-healing practice, and develop to assist others in a journey of transformative healing. The transformative process is an endeavor, consisting of deconstruction, creation, and preservation. The nature of this process requests the practitioner to cultivate their unique innate abilities through practice with:
- attention with a gentle focus(meditation) to cultivate wisdom,
- a vital life force (balanced physical-energetic body) to assist in change,
- love and kindness, and compassion to hold a space for others in their suffering; so that they may create opportunities for discovering their healing nature.
Mentoring is available for practitioners in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, yoga therapy, yoga teachers, movement therapies, dance instructors, ergonomic consultants, and many more.
Mentorships are also available for yoga practitioners, and anybody interested in developing a relationship to their own vital forces for self-healing.
