What
is a
Phoenix Rising
Yoga Therapy Session?
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy was an amazing experience. It helped bring my awareness to the connection between the mind and body. I learned how to listen to the subtle messages my body sends that often get ignored. I would highly recommend Phoenix Rising for anyone wanting to become more aware of their bodies or simply anyone looking to relieve stress. |

Sheri's sensitivity as a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist helped me to explore my humanness. Because I chose the topic and the pace at which I worked, I felt self determined and empowered. The action steps that I chose at the end of each session were a particularly powerful part of the process. Many thanks! In light and Love, |

Even though I understood what the Phoenix Rising session would entail, my session was one big surprise . . . I was surprised how far I could stretch with assistance . . . all the emotions that surfaced . . . and how deeply peaceful I felt after the session. Sheri is an amazing facilitator whose warm and comfortable presence made this experience possible. |

Sheri believes in our inherent capacity for health and wholeness. “Our essential nature is joyful, peaceful and wise. Simple awareness can reveal this Great Truth within us.”
As a student of yoga, Sheri began to notice an expanding compassion for herself and others, along with an increased ability to handle stress and disappointments. Life became more delightful, rich and sublime! Aspiring to help others benefit from yogic wisdom in their daily life, she began to study Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy.
Sheri completed the 700-hour Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Certification in 2008 and the 360-hour Group Facilitator Certification in 2009. Sheri is also Licensed Master of Social Work with over a decade of experience providing individual and group psychotherapy. She is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
Sheri now provides individual sessions, groups, workshops, and retreats in the Greater Rochester, NY area. “It is such an honor for me to witness the soulful journeying of others.”

Individual Sessions Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an individual, 90-minute session using supported yoga postures and dialogue to help you explore what's happening in your body and in your life. During the process, you will be guided to listen deeply to your body, mind and spirit and to notice how those truths "show up" in your day to day life. No yoga experience is needed. |

What is "The Edge"?
The edge is a place of mystery. It lies just beyond what we know and are comfortable with. But, not so far beyond that we are paralyzed with fear.
My experience is that physical and emotional edges are important to Phoenix Rising work because they lead us into our own mystery. They allow us to explore the forsaken parts of ourselves. Those parts that lie just beyond the obvious — in the stiff and shadowy areas of the Self. With skillful guidance, "The Edge" can be a place of incredible discovery, healing and growth.
