What to Expect in Private Somatic Yoga Therapy Sessions

Madison, WI

Private yoga therapy offers personalized, trauma-informed support for your body, nervous system, and mind. Sessions integrate gentle somatic movement, restorative meditation, education on the mind/body connection, interoception (awareness of inner sensations), breathwork, and yoga philosophy in ways intended to support you meet your wellness goals.

What Will We Do?

Session One: Gentle conversation and collaboration

  • In our first session, we’ll spend time simply getting to know each other. We’ll review your intake form together and talk about what you’d like support with whether that’s stress, pain, recovery, focus, or something else. You’re always welcome to share only what feels comfortable for you. This first meeting is about creating a safe, supportive space and setting the foundation for our work together. Private yoga therapy is a collaborative process that meets you where you are and evolves with you over time.

Session Two and beyond: Personalized practices at your pace

  • Starting in the second session, we begin weaving in practices that can support your body and nervous system. These might include gentle movement, breathwork, restorative meditation, or guided interoception (awareness of inner sensations). The goal is to reduce stress, ease pain, and strengthen resilience while giving you practical tools to carry into daily life. Each session is adaptive, so if something doesn’t feel right in the moment, we pivot together.

  • Somatic yoga therapy works best when it honors your unique needs. Some days may call for calming and rest, while others may invite movement or reflection. No matter what, the pace and direction are guided by you, with the aim of helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

I know starting something new can bring up lots of questions. Here are some of the most common ones about private yoga therapy sessions. If you don’t see your question here, please reach out — I’m happy to chat by email or hop on a short Zoom call.

  • Yes. Somatic yoga therapy is a powerful support for addiction recovery. Sessions help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and offer body-based tools for cravings and triggers. I work with clients in early and long-term recovery, including those continuing care after Tellurian or 5 Door Recovery in Madison, WI.

  • Yes, you can continue working with me after completing inpatient or group programs at Tellurian or 5 Door Recovery. I offer both in-person sessions at Sukha Somatics Studio and virtual sessions for ongoing care. This can help you build on what you’ve already practiced and supports long-term recovery with tools for stress, cravings, and nervous system balance.

  • Yes. Yoga therapy offers gentle, adaptive practices that can reduce pain and improve stability. I specialize in supporting clients with chronic pain conditions, including hypermobile spectrum disorders and hEDS, by combining nervous-system-informed movement, pain education, pacing strategies, meditation, and breathwork for long-term relief.

  • Not at all - many clients are brand new to yoga. Sessions are fully adapted to your needs, whether that means chair-based practices, floor-based movement, or quiet breath and meditation.

  • Sessions are 50 minutes long. Pricing is offered on a sliding scale of $60-$75, intentionally set to be as financially accessible as possible while still sustainable for me to offer. You choose the rate that feels right for you, and it can be adjusted any time.

  • While a yoga teacher's basic training program requires only 200 hours of training, sometimes completed in a few weeks, yoga therapists undergo a rigorous, multi-year program accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT.org). This program entails at least 1,000 hours of training focused on adapting and applying somatic yoga techniques to address specific medical conditions. Through this in-depth curriculum, yoga therapists gain a comprehensive understanding of various health issues, contraindications, and relevant research. Additionally, they participate in year long mentored clinical practicum working 1:1 with clients before becoming eligible to apply for certification.
