โจ I AM Yoga Therapy Therapeutic Yoga Studio Class every Friday at 10 AM lead by Rhonda Vroman .being โจ
This class focuses on wall and prop assisted poses to help move into the areas of tension, tightness, and pain in the body. This is a facilitated yoga therapy (body psychology) class which works with the imbalances and blockages of energy within the body. Following extended holding of poses and intentional dialogue, integration occurs through yoga Nidra. This energy-based experience recognizes that by moving into sensation, the body can be used as an access point to work with the visible effects of invisible causes.
Rhonda trained with Kamini Desai is now the primary teacher for the 100 Hour Yoga Body Psychology Certificate of Excellence at which is a foundational part of 1000-hr Yoga Therapy diploma programs, or as continuing education certificate for Yogis and Yoga Teachers who want to deepen their practice and serve clients one-on-one ๐

โค๏ธ Yin Yoga lengthens, connective tissue to increase physical and mental flexibility.
Join Eve on Thursdays at 5:15 PM for a SLOW conscious experience.
Think of your fascia like shrink wrap around your muscles and bones. When this connective tissue is underused, it becomes less elastic which can lead to aches and stiffness. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger! ๐

๐ฅ Dekim Yay is on fire for Yoga! When asked, this is what shared:
โAs a dedicated Yoga practitioner and instructor, I am deeply devoted to sharing the life-changing practices and wisdom of this ancient spiritual science. I have assumed many identities throughout this life: addict, athlete, child, cook, hero, musician, philosopher, student, teacher, victim and villain! While these identities have served to bring me to the expression that I am today, they are fleeting experiences.
Today I choose to identify as Yoga Teacher! I have completed nearly 1000 hours of Yoga Teacher Training, beginning with training and mentoring with Laura McKenzie for my 200 hour YTT, and then completing the 600 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training program at Southwest Institute Of Healing Arts in 2018, including Yoga Nidra with
Yoga has become my way of life and what I choose to do with my life! I teach Yoga in various forms to the public in studio settings, private workshops, one-on-one sessions, corporate venues and more. My specialized training include Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Yoga For Trauma & PTSD, Yoga Nidra, Prana Kriya, and Sound Healing, including a certificate in Hatha Gong. I am deeply touched and inspired by Swami Kripaluโs teachings and subsequent lineage through Amrit & Kamini Desai.
My greatest inspiration and specialty is in teaching teachers. I have been a part of the Yoga Teacher Training at in Tempe, AZ since 2019 as an assistant to and serving as a practicum coach.
It is now my honor to lead the upcoming Tuesday/Thursday YTT program beginning March 7, 2023 โจ๐โจ
