COUPLES THERAPY | WESTLAKE VILLAGE, VENTURA, SANTA BARBARA, OJAI + MALIBU

Online Couples Yoga Therapy sessions to help you get through difficult things with more patience and peace.

What is Couples Yoga Therapy?

In Couples Yoga Therapy, we practice tuning into our bodies and into those who matter to us—because the quality of our relationships shapes the quality of our health and lives.

Couples Yoga Therapy is not just for intimate relationships; it's for any ties that affect our well-being.

In your sessions, I'll guide you to calm your nervous systems and co-regulate (sync up) with each other. In basic terms, you'll become a mirror to each other, enabling profound insights into each other's needs and a deeper awareness of yourself.

Couples Yoga Therapy can transform your relationship into one that is calmer, happier, more playful, and light—a relationship where you each feel seen, understood, and truly accepted.

Couples Yoga Therapy is an opportunity to go beyond the limits of talk therapy and bring your minds and bodies into the present moment.

Couples Yoga Therapy is an experiential form of therapy that unlocks deep healing for couples in a safe space and enables their best selves to emerge.

Yoga poses can help couples enter a more relaxed state which dissolves tension and anxiety. 

Talking about problems can keep us in our brains—holding grudges and armoring our defenses.

Partner yoga that is facilitated by a licensed psychotherapist, encourages cooperation beyond words. Couples must support each other through poses that naturally unlock curiosity, conversation, and compassion.

    “What‘s unique about this form of therapy (and I love so much) is how I‘m able to set my mind aside for awhile and feel into my inner world. At the end of a session I feel a deep sense of peace around things I‘d been mentally wrestling with. I‘m also able to move through my day with a lot more confidence -- relaxed and ready for whatever comes my way.“

  • My clients are happy to share, but I believe their privacy is sacred.

    “Absolutely do it! You don’t have to have a ‘yoga body,’ and you don’t have to have prior yoga experience. You just have to commit to wanting to better yourself and the payoff is more than worth it.”

  • My clients are happy to share, but I believe their privacy is sacred.

    “This therapy helped me to practice awareness, acceptance and gave me the tools to guide me through my day-to-day decisions, and to keep me aware of my thoughts and emotions. Shannon is an excellent teacher, listener and guides through the yoga practice with ease. Having other people to talk to in a safe place was also very helpful for me to not feel like I was alone.”

  • My clients are happy to share, but I believe their privacy is sacred.

    “I highly recommend working with Shannon. I suffer from anxiety and the program has helped immensely. I feel much more centered and self aware.”

  • My clients are happy to share, but I believe their privacy is sacred.

    “Working with Shannon has altered my life and my way of thinking and feeling for the better in such a dramatic positive way. I highly recommend working with her. It’s one of the best things you can do for yourself.”

  • My clients are happy to share, but I believe their privacy is sacred.
