Introduction: If you're looking for a health and wellness coach, I'm one of just a few Certified Yoga Therapists in the area. My style of yoga therapy is holistic...lifestyle management...addressing any physical or emotional needs. My training is not just yoga. My clients benefit from knowledge in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, contemporary Western integrative medicine, and even myofascial remodeling. Yoga has made me healthy, and has helped me immensely with chronic physical issues. More importantly, I am thrilled when my clients' (physical or emotional) pains are alleviated and their general lifestyle and health improves. That's why I spent an additional three years, after getting my yoga teacher training certificate, to become a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT, E-CYT 200, RYT 500). I like being creative, so have designed signature therapeutic workshops to address the needs of what I see most frequently, including. The Sugar Drop (for diabetes/pre-diabetics) Gutsy Yoga (for digestive disorders) Dem Bones (for bone health, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc) The Tummy Bust (for weight management) My rates are $80/session, $60 when you book a series of six. I'd be happy to chat. Or, check out my web site. The Namaste Counsel

Deborah was a great instructor who really knows about the various poses and how they help the body, as well how to safely perform them. She was very attentive to my personal needs as well.

Deborah is a truly wonderful and exceptional yoga instructor and yoga therapist. I attended her classes weekly and yet every class was unique. From physically challenging Asanas and vinyasas and traditional sun salutations to slower paced breathing and meditation exercises, and even spontaneous chanting and dancing, Deborah’s classes are always a joy. I sometimes attended with my 7 year old daughter and 70 year old mother, and Deborah assisted them both expertly and graciously, encouraging them and ensuring they were practicing safely.

My experience with Deborah was in a yoga class she was teaching that I was able to attend a few times. Not only is she knowledgable in how the body works, but also in mind and spirit. She shares her knowledge with gentleness and confidence and really lives what she teaches. Each time, I walked away with MUCH more than I expected from a yoga class. And I felt fantastic.

Deborah has given me classes for 5 years now. She has been an excellent instructor, and all of her classes are different and unique. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Deborah collaborated with Casa Oro Hostel for 8 weeks. She helped us to initiate with the free yoga classes after the re construction of the hostel. She also offered free English classes to our staff and helped with interpretation during our Free Clinic program. She was overall a great collaborator, always available, eager to help, very positive and with a big smile on her face. She never complained about anything and was fully comprehensive when unexpected problems appeared. We would be absolutely happy to have her back anytime. Gracias Deborah!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yoga classes are one fee. Usually 60 minutes. Yoga Therapy/Health and Wellness or Nutritional Coaching are separate. usually 90-minutes. Special rates for workshops, group exercise and frequent visits. I add a nominal surcharge for travel fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For yoga therapy/health wellness private clients, I have a 90-minute intake session.This includes a postural analysis, muscle testing, and of course medical historical. For yoga classes, I still query them on health and emotional states, and what their needs are.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly learning more and more, which is why I spent an extra three years to complete my Yoga Therapy training, in accordance with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. Plus, my "vacations" are yoga festivals, and I take annual "sabbaticals" teaching kids and adults, and leading workshops, in Mexico and Latin America.
