Private Yoga Therapy

You are unique. Even if you have the same health issue as someone else,
your life, your body, mind, and spirit may be impacted in different ways.
Private yoga therapy sessions are tailored to your specific health needs and goals.
When you work with me privately, we begin with you filling me in on your current state of health and wellness and your goals. Private sessions are generally one hour long and will involve me introducing you to a variety of yoga-related tools and techniques - movement and yoga poses, breathwork, mudras, meditation, affirmations, meditation, and guided relaxation - that are specific to your health needs and goals.
​
After each session, I will provide you with a home yoga therapy program in the form of (possibly) videos, audio recordings, and handouts. Through practice, you will learn what a sustainable practice or program looks like for you and which tools are most effective for you. At each subsequent session, we will assess, explore, and adjust your program as you progress toward your health goals.
​
The number of sessions required to meet your goals will depend on, for example, the nature of your health condition and your health goals. It is important to remember, however, that many of our health issues develop over a long period of time and are interrelated with other aspects of our health and being. They are, therefore, complex, and it can take time and patience to see and feel progress.
"I had the good fortune of working with Susan in my home. This was invaluable to me as I wanted to get started with the program, but was anxious at the thought of leaving the house some days. Being in my home removed a difficult barrier for me. Susan is an excellent instructor because she's compassionate and not judging. This allowed me to feel comfortable giving her honest feedback. This, in turn, allowed Susan to adapt the program to my needs. This was integral to the success of the program for me. The tools of the program helped me get through my difficult days. Of course, the gift of yoga is that these tools can be used every day whether I'm anxious or not." CD
"After my recent diagnosis with osteoporosis, I was on a mission to learn all I could about bone health.
I learned that there are “bone fit” trained practitioners through the Osteoporosis Canada website. That is where I found Susan Anderson! So thankful for that! Susan and I worked closely together and set wellness objectives to learn the principles of safe movement and how to apply them to my activities. I regained my confidence to now know what modifications can be done to exercise safely, and what I need to do to maximize my bone health. I would highly recommend Susan. She took the time to listen and plan an individualized program that fit into my lifestyle. She was patient and eager to answer any questions I had. Thank you, Susan!" JB
“Overall, I am so grateful for the tools you introduced me to and the time we spent together in my Yoga Therapy sessions. I feel emotionally stronger and calmer since taking the classes with you and knowing that I can use my breath, affirmations, beads, and meditation to calm myself in any situation. It has been empowering. Thank you.” MM

"These one-on-one sessions allowed me to set goals that guided each session to meet my needs. I was not sure what to expect from yoga therapy, but any expectation I had was exceeded. I now have a plethora of information about osteoporosis that is tailored specifically to me that I can utilize." RK
