personal instruction in yoga
The ancient art of Yoga and Ayurveda offers the understanding and practices needed to make changes for a healthier and happier lifestyle. Through personal instruction, the relationship between a Yoga therapist and client can provide a profound level of support, guidance, and encouragement to make those changes. Experience in Yoga is not necessary.
As a certified Structural Yoga TherapistTM, Arden adapts Yoga to the client’s unique and stated needs, values and goals, and helps to bring out his/her personal best.
Are you looking to:
- Be pain-free in a relaxed conditioned body?
- Extend therapy after physical therapy?
- Reduce chronic stress?
- Understand mind/body connection?
- Deepen your connection to your life?

With compassion and skill Arden will:
