Psyoga

What Psyoga (sigh-yoga) is: a combination of the Greek word psyche, which means breath, soul, life, or spirit, and the Sanskrit word yoga which means union. In simple terms, Psyoga is a lifestyle practice, integrating body movements and physical changes to complement your psychotherapy care plan for enhancing healthy outcomes!

This method originated from several original concepts that our body, mind, and ‘spirit’ are inextricably connected was through an accumulation of various researched data mixed with personal and professional experiences, we have worked with many to curate individual programs with the correct, gentle breathing and movement exercises to facilitate your mental healing journey.

This method is all about tapping into one’s true, inner self (authentic self) while practicing a calm mind state with mindful breathing. Breathing with awareness helps us get into a restful state within our nervous system.
By focusing our attention on coherent levels of heartbeat (inspired by biofeedback methods), the goal is to steadily increase one’s strength physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

At Psyoga, we believe in the power of breathwork, yoga principles, and poses to not only strengthen the body but also regulate the nervous system, promote deep relaxation, and enhance overall well-being.

Psyoga

Psyoga teaches practical, real-life strategies such as:

  • Breathwork for calming the nervous system. Simple, guided breathing patterns help reduce stress, slow the mind, and bring the body back to balance during overwhelming moments.
  • Mind-body awareness. Clients learn to notice where emotions show up physically—tight shoulders, racing heart, restlessness—and understand what their body is communicating.
  • Grounding and centering exercises. Gentle yoga-based movements and sensory techniques help clients reconnect to the present moment when they feel anxious, scattered, or overstimulated.
  • Cognitive-emotional reflection. Psyoga blends therapeutic psychology tools, helping clients identify thought patterns, shift reactions, and build healthier inner dialogue.
  • Movement for emotional release. Slow, intentional stretches and poses create space in the body, helping release stored tension, grief, frustration, or stress.
  • Compassion-based self-regulation. Clients practice responding to themselves with kindness, not criticism, creating emotional resilience instead of shutdown or self-judgment.
