The Approach: Science Meets the Sacred
This process brings an engineering lens to spiritual, explorative, ancient tools, using an evidence-based pratice. What you experience in a session should become integrated, and stay with you.
I utilize four main frameworks:
Hatha Yoga as the core basis for understanding oneself. Yoga is much more than just movement, it’s an ancient textbook that teaches a way to understand yourself and the universe more fully
Science-backed meditations to give us insight into our truest desires
The chakra system as a working map of the body’s energy centers
Learnings from Eastern Medicine to treat the whole person, not just symptoms
We use all these tools as a diagnostic and a practice at the same time. Every program is built from scratch around where you are and where you want to go.
Learn more about each framework below.
Hatha Yoga
Ancient practices have been recoded in texts over the human timeline, Hatha Yoga is a practice based on some of those texts. It has been practiced for generations, allowing the practitioner to reach deeply into themselves, to figure out their true path, to realize what people or situations aren’t serving them, and learn how to sit with it all while making the adequate changes to reflect the life they were meant to live.
Neuroscience backed Meditations
A lot of awesome work has been done recently that tests, analyzes and documents how specific meditations affect your energy fields. We will work with meditations that have been proven to improve heart-brain coherence, with the goal of increasing the sped and efficacy of your manifestations.
This is intention setting grounded in the available science, for expansive changes that work. We can even test your brain waves to see how deep your meditations go!
Chakra Work
The seven energy centers are a living map of your physical and emotional life. There are ancient practices associated with each chakra, which allow us to analyze them and get a deeper understanding of where you are at energetically.
We will employ breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and poses for the body (asana) to get in touch with each one.
Don’t worry, we will begin wherever you are… from someone who has never meditated, to someone who attends silent retreats habitually.
Lessons from Eastern Medicine
The processes of diagnosing and curing disease in Eastern vs. Western culture is staggeringly different. Western culture looks at the symptoms someone is having, and then tries to mitigate those. The goal is not to find the underlying cause, because it is more profitable to create medicines which treat symptoms that never fully go away, and can “only be managed” by their products.
Eastern cultures take a different view of this, there is a study called Ayurveda which combines medical science as the Western world knows it, with the ancient practices of healing through diet, movement, and other tools lesser known to the Western world. I am not an Ayurvedic doctor, but I do think it is helpful to use the tools from Ayurveda as a framework for our mental work.
