Couples sessions are available for partners who wish to grow together spiritually, and explore patterns and goals within their relationship.

Trust. Acceptance. Growth.

Couples Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an excellent way to deepen your connection with your partner, while uncovering your own self-awareness. This is an advanced form of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, and sessions last two hours. It is recommended (but not required) that each partner receive an initial individual session to establish comfort with the process, and to become aware of any individual intentions or goals.

What types of couples will benefit?

Couples sessions work well for any couple that is seeking growth together, regardless of sexual orientation. Engaged couples, career/role changes, partners who have recently begun to co-habitate, or those who are considering starting a family are just a few examples.

How is a couples session different from an individual session?

Unlike an individual session, the practitioner will sit "off the mat" and serve as a facilitator/witness for the couple "on the mat." Much like an individual session, guided body scans, breath work and client centered dialogue will help the couple focus on what's happening in the present moment, and how these awarenesses show up in daily life. Partner yoga may also be incorporated into the sessions as appropriate.

Each partner will be encouraged to feed back to the other what they have heard spoken, creating a space of understanding and acceptance. The practitioner will act as a guide to preserve boundaries and the integrity of the words and experience.
