About Abby:
“I know there’s more to life than this!”
That was my cry 9+ years ago when I finally hit my rockiest of rock bottoms and took a giant leap of faith into a new life. Thank god, my yoga mat was there to catch me. And from that rubber foundation, I’ve been able to build a life that is SO much more than “this”.
What is “this”?
A four letter word – “This” is what keeps you stuck – in a dead end job, with a deadbeat partner, settling for less, wishing for more, feeling overwhelmed and undernourished, burnt out, stressed, impatient and consistently feeling like you’re living on the surface of life – floating along, but knowing there is more. And, spoiler alert, there is SO much more!
How Yoga + Somatic Experiencing can help:
You’ve most likely heard about the benefits of Yoga from your doctor, partner, neighbor, best friend, or have experienced them yourself. I’ll keep it simple – Yoga (meaning to unite) is a centuries old practice that holds the power to bring you back to yourself (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) and lead you in to a richer, more fulfilling relationship with life (even on the worst days). It not only offers you the chance to feel better in your body but to radically transform the shape of your life, forever.
Somatic Experiencing is a form of body-based therapy that helps relieve tension and trauma patterns in your physiology (as humans, we all hold disempowering patterns at different points in our lives). “Body-based” means we work with the body in alignment with the mind to help get underneath the pattern and relieve tension while building resiliency and competency for the long term.
Not your average yoga teacher.
Thank goodness the age of the guru is fading, and yoga is now accessible to so many; AND it is still valuable to have a guide (and compassionate witness) on this path. Someone to offer a listening ear, support and feedback, knowledgeable expertise, practices and techniques that suit you best, and all the insider tips and tricks to help you quantum leap your progress.
Don’t even get me started on how much I love yoga and somatic experiencing (they have absolutely changed my life for the better), but what I love most is sharing these practices with those who are intrigued to learn more and who would benefit from them the most.
