Essentia Yoga Therapy
Hope for whole wellness
Whole Person Wellness
Essentia Yoga Therapy embraces the profound connection between mind, body, and soul. True wellness goes beyond mere physicality; it encompasses every facet of our being; our experiences, illnesses, and mental health are all influenced by thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and how we understand our body.
Yoga therapy revolves around whole person wellness, integrating the mind, body, and soul into every aspect of care. The truth is, every individual is unique with their own set of goals, abilities, and beliefs. That’s why this practice is entirely client-centered, tailored to meet you exactly where you are.
Come as you are and discover whole-person wellness for yourself.

What is Yoga Therapy?
Although all yoga is potentially therapeutic and healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yoga tools—postures/exercises, breathwork, meditation techniques, and more—to address an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs.
Yoga therapists have in-depth training to help them assess and keep clients safe. They work with you to address your specific goals while considering any limitations you might be experiencing.
Working with creation
To my beloved followers of Christ
I’m not here to change your mind about yoga. That is a personal journey each person must go on with the Lord. I am here to invite you to consider the marvelous creation of our Majestic God: your body. Every good and perfect gift comes down from Heaven from the Father of lights,” “Everything was created by Him, for Him, and through him.”
There is a practice which involves your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength, which alters your neurochemistry, which changes your cellular makeup, which restores balance to your whole self. The God who created your mind to respond to danger in such a specific way so you may survive, created the same system to return to rest! Joy, mindfulness, gratitude, breath…. Restoring balance to your whole self.
What’s more: your body is a temple. No one else knows every cell, every muscle, every sinew, every thought, every system, every joy but God Himself. Only we share this intimate knowledge of our internal happenings with God. This makes our bodies the most sacred, intimate and private place we can go to be alone with God, to share knowledge and space- the presence of God in the Holy of holies. Do you not know your body is a temple?
Your body is His creation. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. KNOW that full well. How do you behold His creation? What else in creation do you marvel at:: the majestic mountains? The mighty sea? The intricate detail and purpose of a butterfly’s wings? How much more intricate are you, Beloved?
What would it look like to reforge your relationship with this marvelous creation? What might it look like to dive deep into the innermost parts with the Holy Spirit as your guide? To explore with curiosity, openness, and reverence, and let Him reveal His majesty and grace woven into His design: your body.
It would be an honor to re-introduce you to this majestic creation and offer space for you to walk with the Holy Spirit through this holy temple. If you’re willing, I am ready to support your journey.
