““Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to relax.”
Background to our Philosophy
Owners Melissa and Marci are experienced yoga therapists and instructors who have worked for decades with various corporations, health facilities, residential facilities, and individuals. What Marci and Melissa have found is that regardless of the age, location, or background of the students, the common thread across various populations has been a mental and/or physical ‘stuckness’ in certain body and mind patterns that lead to ill health in its various forms. Some of these forms include increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia or fitful sleep. While traditional forms of exercise can boost mood, we at Soothing Strategies believe that you need to go deeper, to the root of unease and stress, and that takes more than a typical workout.
Our Philosophy
At Soothing Strategies, we believe that a combination of grounding practices, somatic movement, and calming and restorative practices best serves the goal of creating greater wellness and health, and reduction from stress.
Using evidence-based research on the benefits of mindfulness, yoga, and meditation on stress reduction, improved immune and nervous system function, and sleep and productivity goals, Soothing Strategies has created practical wellness packages that incorporate all of these tools to address the overall health of the communities that they serve.
