What is Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy?  
  Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a body-mind practice that draws upon traditional hatha yoga
  postures,  and yogic philosophy and psychology.
 
  Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy was founded by Michael Lee, a Kripalu yoga teacher, who
  observed that mindful attention to bodily sensation and the feelings, thoughts, memories or
  images that coincide with these sensations could bring about a release from held tensions,
  traumas, beliefs and self-perceptions. The result of this kind of awareness practice was the
  potential for creative life change, greater peacefulness and life satisfaction, and deeper
  relaxation.
 
   In a private session, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy includes dialogue as well as postures. In a
   private session you are assisted in holding postures for longer periods of time so that you can
   take time to become aware of and explore any thoughts, feelings, memories, images or
   sensations that may also be present.  It is always your choice whether or not to speak about
   something you become aware of. 
 
   In a Phoenix Rising Yoga class you are guided into postures with the use of body cues rather
   than the names of postures so that you can experience the posture as coming from your body.
   This approach requires giving yourself the time and attention that is necessary to connect with
   your own unique physical edges and conditions. When you allow your body the room to find
   its own way into a pose and to be in a pose, you can then settle into being present to observe
   and become aware of other qualities of experience that may also be present. Repeated
   experience with this process can lead to deeper levels of self-awareness, acceptance, and life
   change.

  Phoenix Rising Yoga is hatha yoga. All the benefits of hatha yoga are there.  Such as: 
  strengthening, stretching, balancing, opening and enlarging the respiratory system, cleared
  vitality (prana), reduced stress, higher consciousness and potential relaxation.

  A Phoenix Rising Yoga class is good for all levels of practitioners. It is an excellent way to begin
  a yoga practice for people who have never taken yoga before.

  Through this body-mind centered approach you will discover that the answers to everything you
  need to know are already inside you, that you, your body, holds your own inner potential for
  growth and self-healing.
