About Deb

Dedicated to honoring the body's inherent wisdom and impulse towards wholeness, Deb is a yoga therapist known for powerful facilitation and creating sacred space. Deb discovered yoga in 2003 while on a personal journey for healing and spiritual growth amidst the red rocks and vortexes of Sedona, Arizona. She completed her 500-hour teacher training at the Himalayan Institute. These teachings were drawn from the source of yoga, based in guidance passed down by Swami Rama—a true yogic master who founded the Himalayan Institute—and is rooted in yogic scriptures. Deb traveled with her teachers to India on a pilgrimage to the Kumbha Mela where her experiences inspired her to leave her corporate role and follow her love of teaching yoga.

Together, the yoga therapist and the patient create the most appropriate yoga health plan based on the individual’s specific needs. Continual assessment and monitoring of the patient’s progress along with appropriate feedback are provided.

Three consecutive yoga therapy sessions are recommended as follows:

1. The first session is for assessment and consultation.

2. By the second session, a home program has been created and is taught step by step. A personalized practice for stress relief and relaxation includes yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditations, mindfulness, and deep relaxation strategies.

3. In the third session, the focus is on fine-tuning the home program. Support between sessions is available via email along with recommended reading material.

After these three initial visits, either weekly or monthly sessions will follow for program refinement and maintenance. Individual sessions are sixty minutes long. Scheduling based on availability.
