Hi, I am Katie Arnold. I am a yoga therapist and 500-hour yoga teacher who uses the practices of yoga, including movement, meditation, and breathwork, to help clients with mental and physical conditions.
I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga and meditation for many years, and have witnessed and personally experienced the impact that our daily practices can have on our lives, health, and mentality. Yoga therapy allows us to take the work a step further, creating an individualized therapeutic approach to these practices.
One of the beautiful aspects of yoga therapy is that it can be an excellent complement to other forms of treatment, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or mental health services.
I look forward to learning more about you and understanding how I can best support your healing journey.
