Dear Ken,
Thank you for sharing Phoenix Rising. In a short amount of time you conveyed the essence of the program. I'm not sure if program is the right word. It is more a therapeutic approach that works with the mind/body connection. This is what I understood. It was very powerful to observe you work with ...........
I think the beauty of the experience for me was hearing your personal story and hearing and seeing your genuine passion for the work you do to create healing in the lives of the people you work with. Clearly you are well trained and very experienced and also very professional in a caring and compassionate way.
Once I experienced the workshop I recognized that you were using some of the phoenix rising technique with me on Thursday. I'm afraid it may have appeared that I was discounting the idea that pain can and does have an emotional component. I had honestly been focussing more on how to approach it in a physical way thinking that stretching, etc., is the only thing to work on. Your workshop reminded me about the emotional aspect of pain and the importance of considering that possibility. Although I am well aware of mind/body connection I think I filed away all that I knew. Your workshop was a very helpful reminder of the connection and an introduction to a unique healing approach.
I wish you well as you continue bringing Phoenix Rising to others. Your wonderful gifts of genuiness and humor and caring combined with your sound teaching skills instills trust and confidence.
Om Shanti and thank you,

Yoga Therapy
An opportunity to create real change in your life!
Learn to discern the voice of the mind from the voice of the
soul.
There are basically 2 types that fall under the wide umbrella of Yoga. Both types provide support for change, transformation, and growth.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a client-centered yoga therapy that combines touch, assisted yoga postures and non-directive dialogues to focus on the body's inner wisdom. This process facilitates release of physical and emotional tensions, allowing personal growth and healing.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy offers a powerful, safe and natural path to enhanced well-being. It has been described as being quite different, non-prescriptive, highly specialized, profoundly effective method of getting to know one’s self through one’s body.
In Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy both client and practitioner co-create a session based on the intention and experience of the client. The client is able to become more deeply and honestly aware of his or herself. The focus of the practitioner is to create and hold safe the space for the client to explore and experience their physical, emotional and mental states thus leading to transformation, change and creating support for themselves if they choose to.
A Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session generally consists of a beginning meditation/centering designed to explore present emotions, thoughts, and sensations. The client sets an intention or works with something they would like to receive. The centering is followed by the exploration of body sensation and experience through yoga postures, stretches and other movements. Throughout the postures, and the transitions, as well as in the stillness, an open ended dialogue is included to invite a deeper experience for the client.
The practitioner follows the clients experience rather than leading it. Sessions finish with a conclusion, a meditation of integration, where the client has the opportunity to bring self awareness and action/support into line with everyday life. No prior yoga experience is necessary to receive a PRYT session. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore and experience yourself.
The benefits are wide, from those who seek deep relaxation to those healing from highly traumatic life events. In conjunction with other medical modalities PRYT has been used successfully in the treatment of releasing fear and anxiety - freeing up areas of tension, depression, addiction, physical relief from chronic aches and pains, stress and trauma related to sexual and physical abuse and couples therapy.
Yoga and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy can be the process to empower and help create support for individuals progressing towards improved health and well-being, leaving them with clearer focus, to help decision making and problem solving so as to feel better.
Everything you need to know is inside of you, or as Carl Rogers said,
“Experience is the highest authority. The touchstone of
validity is my own experience.
No other person’s ideas and none of my own ideas are as
authoritative as my experience.
It is to experience that I must return again and again to
discover a closer approximation to the truth.”
The other type of Yoga Therapy while also being client centered, is more physically therapeutic and prescriptive in nature. This type focuses on the anatomical and body alignment elements of yoga postures in the presence of focused breathing. Its valuable emphasis is on physiology and the development of awareness in the practice of Yoga (incorporating both the physical and non physical) as well as suggestions for living and developing a healthy lifestyle. ABT Yoga offers this type of Yoga Therapy as part of our Private Yoga Instruction Package.
