What do yoga and psychotherapy have in common?
1. Yoga is a mindfulness practice-- together with therapy it settles the body and the mind.
2. The mindful self acts in the present moment-- therapy and yoga together develop the mindful self.
3. Yoga helps us feel connected. Therapy makes connections possible.
4. Psychotherapy and yoga help us see clearly.
5. Both together can help you find your place in the world of work, family and love.

How do you choose a therapist?
1. Ask questions. What are the therapist's qualifications?
2. Tell about yourself.
3. Can you reach the therapist between sessions?
4. Trust your gut feelings. Do you feel comfortable?
5. Can you be playful?
