Yoga:

Don teaches Kripalu Yoga Classes and private sessions and offers Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. A trained and certified practitioner in both yoga modalities, Don brings a deep sensitivity to each person’s needs and is known for encouraging students to accept their limitations and yet move beyond them.

Kripalu Yoga

Don trained at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health earning his professional level (500hr) certification and is a member of the Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association. He is also registered with the Yoga Teachers Alliance.

Throughout Kripalu Yoga’s three-stage approach you are guided to move at your own pace, honoring your body’s needs in each moment. Kripalu Yoga develops the body, mind and spirit, in a compassionate non judgmental way. You leave the class feeling uplifted and centered.

Stage 1 - Willful Practice (Body and Breath Awareness)
Stage 1 begins with an experiential approach to understanding the details of alignment and the coordination of breath while moving into and out of postures.

Stage 2 - Holding the Posture (Inner Focus and Concentration)
Stage 2 guides you to focus your attention on inner sensations, thoughts and emotions. You learn to hold postures for longer periods of time while cultivating compassion and awareness.

Stage 3 - Meditation in Motion (Absorption)
Stage 3 is a unique and personal experience of Kripalu Yoga. You practice the art of moving in response to your body’s wisdom, with postures flowing from one into the next. This experience is often described as a state of prayer expressed in movement.

Phoenix Rising Yoga therapy

Don Scott is a Certified Phoenix Rising Practitioner. He brings a depth of calm, peaceful support cultivated through years in extensive study of meditation, yoga and spiritual unfoldment to each session.

What is Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy?
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is a holistic healing art combining the ancient science of yoga with elements of contemporary body/mind psychology. A session includes touch, assisted yoga postures and client-centered dialogue.

As we move through life, our bodies internalize process and filter our experiences—mostly without our conscious awareness. Our thoughts and feelings remain stored within us and are often the cause of stress, as well as emotions and physical pain or discomfort.

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy offers a way to explore the relationship between your body, your mind and your life in a private context with a certified, highly-trained practitioner. It facilitates the release of physical, mental and emotional tension, often resulting in increased energy.

What is a session like?
In a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session, you are guided through a sequence of carefully selected, assisted yoga postures and breath work, designed to take you deeper into your internal experience. As you are supported in the postures, your PRYT practitioner guides you in dialogue that concentrates your attention on what you are experiencing. You are invited to explore the sensations, emotions, memories or images that are present in your body.

Each session includes an integration period, to assist you in processing your experience and exploring how you can bring your insights into actions.

Sessions vary between 1 and 1 ½ hours, and clients are advised to wear light and comfortable clothing.

Who Benefits From Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy?
Offered on a personal one-on-one basis, in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance, each session is geared to your individual needs. Yoga therapy can be beneficial for a wide variety of situations, including chronic pain, recovery from substance abuse, and healing from past physical or sexual abuse. Some people use it as an adjunct to more traditional forms of treatments, such as psychotherapy and physical therapy.

Whether your pain stems from a major trauma like an accident, or from chronic stress, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy offers a powerful, safe and natural path to enhanced well-being, regardless of your body type, level of fitness experience, or physical condition.

Information about Reiki

What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is all around us. Reiki, when activated and applied for purposes of healing, addresses body, mind and spirit. It accelerates the body’s natural ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of the disease, disharmony and pain. With this understanding, you take responsibility for your life and experience the joys of balanced wellness.

Receiving a Reiki Treatment
A Reiki treatment is a light, hands-on process whereby a Reiki practitioner transfers universal life force to the recipient. A Reiki treatment is safe, non-intrusive, and non-manipulative; there are no substances applied to the body, and the recipient of a Reiki treatment remains fully clothed. During a full Reiki treatment, the practitioner directs healing energy to several areas of the head, the upper body (from neck to pelvic area), and the back (from shoulders to tailbone). While focus is given to the body’s major organs, every cell of the body benefits. In addition to the formal hand positions, Reiki can be applied to any part of the body that has been injured. The sensation felt by the recipient of a Reiki treatment is usually a deep feeling of warmth, well-being and comfort. Reiki even works through bandages or casts and can also be transmitted at a distance.

How Reiki Works
The Reiki practitioner is a channel for the energy and therefore is not “doing” the healing. Reiki works in conjunction with medical and non-medical treatment and therapy. The receiver’s willingness and acceptance determines the progress that can be made in one’s own healing process. Reiki can relieve pain and acute symptoms quite rapidly while more chronic problems may require extensive treatment. Length of treatment depends upon the root cause of the problem and the amount of energy needed to revitalize and bring into balance the ailing area of the body. Undergoing initiation as a Reiki practitioner takes this treatment process one step further in bringing the energy into your life and creating a continuous healing process for your body, mind, and spirit.
