Where do we begin? Phoenix Rising is interesting to verbally explain because of its highly experiential nature. But we will do our best!  Here goes: Physically, it is like having a yoga class done to your body! But we add layers of deep introspection, which leads to the opportunity for creating a more fulfilling life. If this sounds intriguing, read on!

Through practitioner assisted yoga postures and a dialogue process that is both open-ended and non-directive of the outcome of the session, the client is facilitated through an experience of him or herself in the present moment. And what ever happens in the present moment — physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually finds richness in relationship to the bigger picture of how that client is being in the world in daily life — work, play, family and relationships. Using focused breathing and the opportunity to verbalize the in-the-moment experiences — thoughts, emotions, sensations, memories — client experience such a connection as well as a deeper attunement to his/her own internal guiding compass. Through this process of awareness and discernment, clients have the opportunity to release old undigested experiences, traumas, personal beliefs and out-of-date habits and patterns to then move more fully into life with new perspective and personal efficacy.

Whew! That was a lot, but these things really happen when the practitioner is skilled in creating safe space, loving presence, unconditional positive regard and non-judgmental witnessing. While a series of sessions are often most helpful, profound change has been know to occur in a single session.
