Private Yoga Therapy
Maliya’s private yoga therapists offers personalized, gentle movement sessions to address your individual wellness needs. Unlike a group yoga class, private yoga therapy sessions are one-on-one, allowing the practitioner to focus entirely on you and your body’s needs.
These sessions typically begin with an in-depth assessment to understand your physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, and any specific areas of concern. Based on this assessment, your yoga therapist will guide you through a customized practice that may include physical postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices. Throughout the sessions, the therapist provides hands-on adjustments, modifications, and guidance to ensure safety, effectiveness, and alignment with your body’s needs.
These sessions can be profoundly healing as your yoga therapist holds space for you to identify, observe, accept, and release anything that’s being stored in the body and holding you back from living your fullest life. They offer you a supportive and nurturing environment to explore your body, emotions, and mind-body connections, fostering healing, self-awareness, and holistic well-being.
Reiki Practitioner / Reflexologist / TMJ Therapist / Access Bars Practitioners Practitioner / Trauma-Informed Thai Yoga Therapist
Sara Folk
As a Registered Dental Professional for over 13 years, Sara saw numerous patients presenting with severe TMJ that was not being alleviated through conventional therapies. This awareness propelled her to learn and specialize in TMJ therapy, helping alleviate pain & headache issues in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles in the head, face, neck and chest caused by stress, clenching/grinding, or trauma. Sara’s goal is to accomplish true pain relief, relaxation and rejuvenation in an inclusive, safe, caring & nurturing space.
In addition to TMJ Therapy, Sara discovered first-hand what the powers of Reiki and Access Bars have done to help bring balance to her body, mind and spirit. This experience led her to become a Reiki and Access Bars Practitioner in 2018, studying under Dave Nelson at “Reiki Infinite Healer” learning the traditional methods of Master Mikao Usui, the founder and pioneer of Reiki. She is working towards her Reiki mastery level 3 to be able to teach others one day about how to tap into this incredible modality. Sara truly believes that working with the energy at a more intimate level can optimize one’s healing.
Sara has also expanded her knowledge in Reflexology and holds certification and registration through the NHPC for this natural, holistic therapy. She took her training through Reflexology Experience in Calgary under Erica Weiland and blends this treatment into her unique sessions to support the entire body system on many levels or can be offered as it's own therapy session.
Among these modalities Sara also holds the title of teeth whitening technician! Working in the dental field for over 15 years, Sara has expanded knowledge and taken many continued education courses around maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. She has taken the most up to date courses on best practices and products to offer you the top of the line whitening systems to brighten your smile!
