Integrated Movement Therapy

Integrated Movement Therapy (IMT) is body-based, holistic method to heal and grow.  IMT helps people feel capable, competent, empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

IMT is a healing method based in yoga and neuroscience. In partnership with your IMT practitioner, you will establish goals and develop strategies to incorporate meaningful changes to help you feel better.  IMT sessions use movement, meditation, breath techniques, and mindfulness practices to facilitate the exploration of the whole mind / body / spirit system.

What's the difference between

a private yoga sessions and IMT?
 

IMT helps people with challenges that are complex. People seek IMT because they experience chronic pain, trauma recovery, major life transitions, cancer, loss of a loved one, PTSD, Parkinson's, ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, traumatic brain injury, etc.​

While any qualified yoga teacher can do a private yoga session, only certified IMT therapists can do an IMT session.  IMT therapists have over 800 hours of training in this healing modality.  The minimum training for a certified yoga teacher is 200 hours.

We can help you if you are looking to:

  • reduce pain

  • increase a sense of control in your life

  • get better sleep

  • cope with social, mental or emotional challenges

What does an IMT session look like?

 Each IMT session will be highly individualized to meet the needs of the student. For adults and teens, individual sessions are 50-60 minutes.  Kids sessions are 30-40 minutes.

  • Sessions start with partnership, learning what's best to work on that day, given how you feel.

  • Centering and grounding helps you learn how to find calm and regulate your nervous system.

  • Movement helps integrate your body into your process, and is targeted to your individual needs.

  • Sessions end with a relaxation practice, to build calming skills and help you leave feeling great.

IMT is not done in one visit.  The method thrives with the structure, continuity and partnership between student and teacher.  We start IMT with a three session package, and typically see clients every week or every other week for one to six months, depending on your current needs.
