About Our Training and Credentials
Since 1994 we've been offering
a combination of body-centered therapies, workshops, and
classes - all sharing similar objectives. Our focus is
on supporting our clients and students as they define and work
to achieve personal
objectives - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
On
a physical level objectives might include greater postural awareness
and balance, improved body image, and/or relief from chronic
or acute pain/discomfort. Mental and emotional
objectives frequently include improved focus and clarity, a
calming of the agitations of the mind, or a more restful
sleep.
Our
therapy offerings include yoga therapy as well as a style of
therapeutic bodywork with orientations ranging from structural
re-balancing and pain relief to relaxation and stress
management. We offer yoga instruction in a group
classroom setting or as individual session work. For a
more complete description of our yoga instruction please visit
our "about our yoga"
page. For more information on an individual therapist or
instructor please click on an individual's name below:
John LeMunyon,
E-RYT500, LMT
“I view my therapy practice and teaching as
complementary pieces of the same process - the process of
helping others in a return to wholeness. My intention is to
create a partnership where each participant is inspired to
bring forward what she or he knows personally and believes
might serve the process of this return to balance.
The ancients held that if in this lifetime we have ever
been well, that we hold within us a memory of that wellness.
They saw illness as a 'forgetting' and healing as a 'remembering' of our innate wholeness."
John is an
Alabama
licensed
massage therapist and a member of the International
Association of Yoga Therapists.
As a yoga teacher he brings nearly 30 years of practice
experience to his instruction.
He is an experienced registered yoga teacher (ERYT) through the Yoga
Alliance™at what is presently their highest level of
registration (500 hours). Top

“I practice yoga for the same reasons I receive massage
therapy: to become quiet, to leave behind temporarily the
busyness of my day and reconnect with myself and the source of
my inner wisdom. It's my opportunity to explore and release
tension in my body, my breath, my mind and my heart, and what
I find upon returning to my interactions with others is
greater strength, kindness and compassion for us all.
I teach yoga and offer massage in the hopes of nurturing in
others this same capacity to feel peaceful inside, however
briefly, whatever the circumstances of our daily lives.”
Kate is an Alabama
licensed
massage therapist and a member of the International
Association of Yoga Therapists.
As a yoga teacher she brings over 25 years of practice
experience to her instruction.
She is an experienced registered yoga teacher (ERYT) through the Yoga
Alliance™at what is presently their highest level of

India Henson, RYT
India remembers being new to yoga. She remembers feeling great
after practicing without really understanding why, and wanting
to practice more and more in order to stabilize that
"great" feeling. Today she would tell you that yoga
saved her life. It helped her return to the essence of who she
really is, and to live from that place with joy and
vitality.
In her classes, India thinks of herself as a tour guide,
leading students through carefully constructed sequences of
postures, breath work, and relaxation, and pointing out
landmarks along the way. You won't find these landmarks in the
tourist books; they are inside each of us, and while they are
key to our ability to manage our own health and energy, they
are subtle and easy to miss. A well-crafted yoga practice
enables us to become quiet and relaxed enough to perceive
these subtle internal sensations, and to use our new awareness
to make decisions that serve us better in life. India's
primary reason for teaching is to help her students do just
that.
India Henson is a registered yoga teacher with the Yoga
Alliance at the 200-hour level. She received her primary
training at the Satchidananda Ashram Yogaville in Virginia.
