Vital Movement Collective was born out of a need to solve several problems we saw in the fields of massage and yoga. Bodywork clients stepping off the massage table are often in an altered state; teaching detailed exercises and stretches in that moment can bring them out of the therapeutic state we’ve cultivated in their session! Instead, our clients needed dedicated sessions to learn how to mobilize and strengthen their body. We offer personalized therapeutic yoga sessions and educational workshops to instruct and guide clients towards a more Vital life!

People recovering from injury, elders or chronically tight yoga students attending large classes can feel challenged and confused by instructions that are meant to guide the entire group. These students would benefit more from up close observation, modifications and hands-on adjustments. Private sessions are the perfect place for adapting the poses to the client’s body and ability.

Both yoga and massage are valuable in their own right; Combining them together can radically multiply the benefits of both modalities. While bodywork is highly useful for mobilizing connective tissue and increasing mobility, adding yoga can help clients strengthen and integrate new found ranges of motion. And sometimes yoga students just need the assistance of someone to help break through stuck tissues and theres no better way than targeted massage.

Most Bodyworkers and Yoga Teachers rarely get more than a brief health intake immediately prior to a session or class. Can we really provide our clients with a quality treatment plan with so little time? Receiving health intake forms several days prior to a session is a vastly superior way to support our clients.

We also recognize that many people moving off of Physical Therapy would benefit greatly from a service that could provide bodywork and therapeutic yoga. It is common that post PT clients can stall out or even regress once completing a PT regiment. Whether you are pre/post surgery, recovering from an injury or have limited mobility, our goal is to support you!

Therapeutic Yoga and Bodywork affect similar systems in the body and are holistic approaches to health. Combining them together improves the benefits of the other and provides clients with a more robust wellness offering. We’re excited that you’re here and ready to embark on your Journey to a more Vital life!
