    What exactly is couples yoga therapy?

    Well unlike regular couples therapy sessions. Couples yoga therapy is when two people in a relationship want to use a body-based approach to enriching or improving that relationship. Unlike talk therapy which relies on conversation to gain perspective, a somatic approach connects the mind and body. Allowing you to see your relationship from a new perspective, and gain new insights.

    Understanding someone's suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love's other name. If you don't understand, you can't love. THICH NHAT HANH

    Another way to communicate

    Communicating is all about sharing information and feelings.  In a session I direct embodied experience, you connect deeply with your body and with each other. You share any thoughts, feelings, and emotions that may come up. I will hold space for you both. And offer you the necessary tools to help you share your experience

    What is a relationship?

    A relationship is the coming together of two people, to form an “us”.  For a relationship to be strong it needs to be nurtured.

    • Communication

    A relationship will struggle if

    • You deprive it of love and understanding.

    • You are critical  of each other
    • You show contempt
    • You are defensive
    • There is distance between you
