What
is a
Phoenix Rising
Yoga Therapy Session?
Clients are saying . . .
"A most remarkable and profound session. It's amazing how spontaneous and in-depth the process is, and how seemlessly Margaret guides and responds to the needs of the moment."
"Transformational. I had moments of out-of-body experience. Margaret knew exactly which positions would help my hip discomfort. Since the session my hip ache is no longer present."
"I felt your warm presence and openness and willingness to hold space for whatever I had to tell you."
"Beautiful and Powerful!"
"Margaret does a great job of gently pushing to the physical/emotional edge and then containing and supporting the experience."
"I loved your light & laughing energy today, you seemed to be as excited about the impending session as I was."
"I was really suprised again how wonderful it is to be with a sensitive sharing therapist to take you to places in yourself you can't really access by yourself, such a wonderful gift from life."
"I constantly felt Margaret's full and complete attention - and I felt safe communicating my needs and requests - this helps create a sense of trust and respect."
"Taking time with each posture works for me, the support, slow in and slow out, helped me to really tune into finding my edge, and hanging out with it."

About Your Practitioner 
First and foremost, I want you to know that it would be my honor to 'hold space' and support you during your own self-exploration into self realization; whether that be in a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session or in a Private or Group (traditional) Yoga Class.
Since I can remember, I had a sense that my work would revolve around serving and assisting others. I’ve worked with young children (and still do, including raising 3 of my own), I've Waitressed and worked as an Herbalist, and am a Yoga Instructor (teaching for over nine years -- Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow & Ashtaanga Yoga -- to children and adults). A few years ago I was seeking to work with others in a deeper, more profound way. I am so very grateful to have reunited with Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and am currently a Practitioner.
When I first experienced a PRYT session ten years ago, while at the same time delving into traditional Psychotherapy, I was amazed — and I immediately knew that I wanted to become a Practitioner; to create a safe, supportive, nurturing, self-empowering atmosphere for one to explore — where they would be able to find the answers for themselves, within themselves.
Years later, in the midst of being a PRYT student, a tremendous family loss occurred. PRYT ‘held me’ in ways that I can’t even begin to find words for, teaching me to be present for myself and others with a nurturing, healthy, loving kindness; while at the same time holding space for whatever arises.

What Is Your Body Telling You?
COME EXPLORE! (Either in an individual setting or class setting) Within a one-on-one Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session* you will help to develop the skills to listen to your body’s own innate wisdom, while in a state of equanimity and presence as I assist to safely ‘hold the space’ for you. A Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session is all about you being supported and listened to while in gentle, assisted yoga postures. As you share, your own words are reflected back to you, to help facilitate self-discovery and exploration of the relationship between your body, your mind, and your life. PRYT is based on the belief that we often hold in our bodies unresolved emotional, mental, and physical experiences which can influence our beliefs and our behaviors. These 'holdings' may create blockages or inhibit us as we move about in our day-to-day life. You may experience more:
- freedom
- clarity
- enhanced body awareness
- a sense of relaxation
- well-being
- release of tension
- and rediscover the ability to find a new direction in an area of your life
* No experience necessary.
