As a yoga teacher, Martina is a firm believer in the profound connection between mind and body. Through breath, movement, and mindfulness, she aims to harmonize these elements, fostering a sense of balance that extends far beyond Big Sky’s office. Your work together will be deeply experiential, not simply an academic study of coping skills. Yoga is a powerful tool for self-discovery and we can incorporate practices that align with your unique needs, promoting flexibility and emotional resilience. Yoga can foster mental clarity and calmness, increase body awareness, address chronic stress patterns, center attention, and relax the mind - all highly beneficial when working toward therapeutic goals.

Below you’ll find highlights of Martina’s yoga teaching background:

• Graduate of Yoga to Transform Trauma - 2018 & 2019

• Graduate of OmBodies 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training - 2019

• Facilitated Trauma-Informed Yoga for women experiencing incarceration - 2019

• Co-led a Costa Rican yoga retreat - 2022

• Slow flow and restorative focus

Important to note - Sure, a physical yoga practice can complement your therapy goals, however, yoga is not an hour here or there spent on our mat. Yoga is a spiritual path that has been lovingly engaged with and passed on for thousands of years. The 8 limb path provides the structure for my personal and professional values, as the teachings encourage truth, self-exploration, and service.
