Yoga Therapy for Couples
enhance your relationship, deepen your connection, and create more intimacy with your partner.
You spend lots of time with your partner, but yet you feel disconnected.
You’re in the same space, but it feels like you are worlds apart.
There’s just not enough time in the day with work, kids, the bills, the house. How are you supposed to find time for each other?
It’s not that things are bad, they’e just ‘blah’.
You love each other and you’re getting along fine, but you don’t want things to be just ‘fine’.
You’re tuned out. The same conversations after work. The same silence at meals. The same distracted screen time in bed. The same excuses to avoid intimacy. You’re going through the motions but you’re just not connecting the way you used to.
A partnership is a living, breathing entity - it’s a live. There’s you, your partner, and your relationship (the ‘us’), which has its own life force, identity and needs.
The relationship cannot remain strong and resilient if it is required to live on scraps. There is a myth that the ‘us’ can wait until there is more time, more energy, fewer demands elsewhere; that it can live on what is left from attending to the more ‘urgent’ matters. Supporting these myths will only continue to starve your relationship.
Imagine if you told your Self, your body that you were too busy, too tired, too distracted to listen to it, care for it, or feel it right now. What would happen? Eventually it would decline, dis-ease and illness would set in.
Just as with your body, your relationship can surely hang in there temporarily, but not forever. If the ‘temporarily’ goes on for too long, the relationship will continue to decline and eventually, disconnection and disinterest will set in.
Using an embodied approach to couples therapy, you and your partner will explore connection, communication and intimacy through mindful movement, breath and conscious dialogue. I will facilitate the session and hold the container, but what happens inside of that container is entirely up to you and your partner.
Each session begins with a check-in. What’s coming up in your relationship? What are your concerns, what are your needs, what are your desires? After we check-in, I will guide you and your partner through a few minutes of movement and breath work to get you embodied. From there, I coach you into a few different partner postures and give you space to explore what’s coming up and what it’s like to BE with yourself and with your partner in that way. At the end of the session I will guide you through an integration exercise where you and your partner can reflect on what came up for you, if or how that relates to your relationship and then create a clear action step that you can take with you.
“A couples Yoga Therapy session with Sarah is an absolute gift. Sarah created a calm and compassionate space that allowed us to explore the everyday stressors that we’ve pushed aside while trying to navigate life with two kids, jobs, grad school and a pandemic! We were in awe of the power of movement in a therapeutic setting; Sarah set us up to experience our feelings through body, mind and heart. Sarah’s empathetic nature and confidence in her practice empowered us to communicate with grace and ease and leave with a sense of understanding that we will truly cherish! ”
