Did you know your eyes are the only visible part o Did you know your eyes are the only visible part of the brain?

They are directly connected to the nervous system.

Visual fatigue doesn’t stay only in the eyes.
It often appears as neck, jaw, and shoulder tension.

You can have 20/20 eyesight
and still experience visual processing strain.

A simple shift can help.

Soft gaze allows the nervous system to settle.

And sometimes the most powerful reset is simple:
close your eyes for a moment.

This sketch at the ashram talent show was all abou This sketch at the ashram talent show was all about the vagus nerve—and it gives a glimpse of what the Inner Balance 5-Day Retreat is about.

Practical tools.
Body–mind practices.
Real-life clarity.

No philosophy overload.
No pretending everything is perfect.

FAQ

Is yoga therapy available virtually or only in person?

Both! I have a small number of in-person slots; however, virtual offers us more flexibility. If you feel strongly that you'd like to meet in person and my slots are full, I'm happy to start working with you virtually and put you on the waitlist for in-person sessions.

Does my private health insurance cover your services?

Yes, As registered members with THE RITMA COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE ASSOCIATION, most yoga therapy services can be covered under "Alternate medicine and Naturotherapy" by your health insurance. Massage therapy services are covered under the standard "Massage Therapy" category.

We can provide you with an insurance receipt after your session to help you claim reimbursement. Just let us know at your next appointment!

Please note: Coverage details can vary depending on your specific insurance plan. We recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm coverage for yoga therapy services.
