Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m not sure where to start - yoga, CST, or massage?
A: It depends on what your body and mind need right now:
If you’ve already tried everything-exercise, chiropractic care, neurology, massage, physical therapy, and reiki-and still feel like something is missing, it may be a sign of nervous system imbalance. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can be the missing piece in your healing journey.
If you’re feeling physically tight, sore, or stuck in movement patterns: Begin with yoga classes, foam rolling, or self-massage to release and mobilize your body.
If you want deep muscular work combined with nervous system support: Our other licensed therapist offers massage + CST combinations for a fuller reset.
Many clients start with one service and gradually explore others - there’s no wrong place to begin. We’ll help you create a plan that fits your body, your schedule, and your goals.
Yoga Classes (All Levels / Vinyasa & Yin / Rest & Restore / Foam Rolling / Self-Massage)
Q: I’m a beginner - can I join?
A: Absolutely! All of our yoga classes are designed for every level. We focus on individual attention so you can move safely, comfortably, and at your own pace.
Q: What’s the difference between Vinyasa, Yin, and Rest & Restore Yoga?
A:
Vinyasa: A flowing, dynamic practice linking breath with movement.
Yin Yoga: Slow, deep stretches for connective tissue and calming the nervous system.
Rest & Restore (Restorative Yoga): Fully supported poses that allow your body and nervous system to fully relax and reset.
Q: What is the YOGA & foam rolling class about?

A: Foam rolling is generally safe, but avoid it if you have:
Acute injuries or inflammation
Recent fractures or surgery
Severe osteoporosis
Blood clotting disorders or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Uncontrolled high blood pressure
Q: Is using a lacrosse ball safe?
A: Avoid deep ball pressure if you have:
Acute injuries or inflammation
Nerve pain or neuropathy
Blood clotting disorders
Recent surgery or skin conditions in the area
Severe osteoporosis or fragile bones
Q: Do I need to bring my own props?
A: We do prefer for you to bring your own mat. If you forget your mat, we offer them as a $5 mat rental. However- We prepare your bolsters, blocks, and any other props for you, and clean everything afterward - so all you do is show up and breathe.
Q: How often should I practice yoga?
A: For lasting results, 2-3 times per week is ideal. If you’re managing stress, tension, or recovery, adding a restorative or foam rolling session in between can help deepen the benefits.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Q: What is CST?
A: Craniosacral Therapy works with your nervous system using very light touch to release deep tension patterns, calm stress, and help your body self-regulate. It’s subtle, yet profoundly effective for stress, migraines, TMJ, anxiety, and tension.
Q: How is CST different from massage?
A: CST is very gentle and works primarily with the nervous system. Massage works on muscles to relieve physical tension.
Q: Do I need to undress completely for a CST session?
A: No. Sessions are fully customizable to your comfort. You remain fully clothed, while laying on your back during the entire session.
Q: Can CST be combined with other therapies?
A: Yes! Many clients choose CST along with yoga, foam rolling, or self-massage techniques to maximize stress relief and mobility.
Q: How often should I get CST?
A: Frequency depends on your needs:
Maintenance & stress relief: Every 2-3 weeks
Chronic tension, pain, or recovery: Weekly or biweekly sessions
Q: What should I expect after a CST session?
A: Most clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more present in their body. Some notice continued release over the next 24-48 hours - this is normal and part of the nervous system resetting.
Q: Do I need prior experience in CST or yoga to start?
A: Not at all. Every session and class is tailored to meet you where you are - no pressure, no performance, just real care.
