Here's my "Elevator intro":

I help people understand their patterns of anger, shame, anxiety and depression that limit them, and I help them reconnect to and experience more Joy in their lives. I do this through a variety of unique programs and modalities. I specifically enjoy mentoring yoga teachers through my Yoga Alliance approved teaching certification program. My name is Debi Saraswati and I am the founder of the Joyflow Institute for Integrative Health. I am the author of two books: Yoga Nine Ways and Joyflow Yoga: Manual for Teachers.

​

Shorter Version:

I help people experience more Joy in their lives, through a variety of unique programs and modalities. I also mentor and certify yoga teachers. 

 

Yes, I also paint, sew and craft! See all this on the Saraswati Designs page.

Joyflow Yoga Instruction / Therapy / Coaching

 

Joyflow Yoga Instruction: to give support in developing a home personal practice and/or to answer any questions about your practice or health needs. To give guidance in breathing and meditation techniques that support your well-being. My 30 years of training in a variety of styles enables me to be creative and responsive to your particular needs.

​

Joyflow Yoga Therapy: to process the mind-body connection, releasing wounds of the pain-body. Especially helpful for overcoming past abuse, trauma, injuries or losses. This process also leads to an increase in your ability to receive clarity, deep peace and relaxation.

​

      Yoga Therapy can include:

​

              Tai Bodywork-like passive stretches / Restorative Yoga

              Guided Imagery / Customized Yoga Nidra

              Spiritual Dialoguing

              Energy Healing with Reiki / Healing Touch

              Nature Meditation Walks / Meditative Dance

              Laughter Yoga

 

 

Joyflow Yoga Coaching: may include any of the above, Yoga Instruction / Therapy, but also includes a study of how the Enneagram may give you insight and wisdom. This is particularly helpful for addiction work, lifestyle changes and relationship issues. Will include a plan of action and follow-up support for your chosen life-affirming goals.
