Prenatal Yoga with Rhea Tomlinson (60 min): Pregnancy is a beautiful time to connect with your community, baby and more intimately with your body. As you move through your stages of pregnancy, you may be looking for guidance in which areas to stretch, strengthen, effectively breathe and deepen that connection to your mind, body and baby. Yoga is a great way to maintain mobility and find a balance between activating and releasing the hips, thighs and pelvic floor musculature preparing the body for the birthing process. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or special considerations to discuss.
- Please note that we are currently not offering any prenatal classes, check back for future offerings!

Experience What Zen Physiotherapy Can Do For You!
Yoga therapy is an ancient tradition that is a relatively new method of healing to the western world. Yoga has been around for over 1000 years. The idea of using yoga in a therapeutic context has been credited to Tirumalai Krishnamacharya who died in 1981 at the age of 100. Krishnamacharya is mainly known as a healer who drew from both ayurvedic and yogic traditions to restore health and well-being to those he treated.
You can think of yoga therapy the same way you might think of other healing systems such as Chinese medicine. Yoga Therapy is a system that helps us identify various imbalances in a person, and then we offer techniques to bring those aspects into balance. A Yoga Therapist uses techniques to help a person find balance and heal such as; movement (asana or physical yoga postures), breath work (pranayama), chanting, philosophy or point of view, and meditation to name a few.
What happens at a yoga therapy session?
Yoga therapy sessions are done in a private setting. In the initial assessment, we will conduct a thorough intake interview in order to get to know your history as well as your goals. There will be a specific physical evaluation which includes range of motion, strength testing, breathing evaluation, and orthopedic special testing when appropriate. Once the assessment is complete, you will begin the process of learning practices to help with your imbalances and unique goals. The relationship between Therapist and client is an important one, if you ever have any questions or concerns about treatments, please do not hesitate to bring these up with your therapist. You will be given practices to work on at home and will have pre-determined follow up appointments to make sure things are improving and working well for you.
Yoga Therapy practitioners are trained to work with a wide variety of conditions using a model that can easily integrate other healing modalities.
