When our physical body, our mental-emotional body and our intuitive-spiritual body are in dynamic and harmonious alignment with each other, then our living body becomes the wisdombody – fully and joyously alive.

Our body is our most immediate home on earth. It is the receptacle of our stories, our experiences, our fears and our hopes, sculpted in the flesh of our being. It is also the guardian of our insights and intuitions, our longing-to-become and our celebration of life on earth.

Psychotherapy and Yoga are both healing journeys which encourage spaciousness, fluidity and integration of our experience in body, mind and soul. This healing finds expression in a growing ability for intimacy and joyous, creative engagement with self, others and life all around.

Sophia Reinders is a Jungian oriented psychotherapist in private practice in San Francisco and Marin County, a registered expressive arts therapist, faculty member at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher. In the practice of psychotherapy she marries Jungian psychology, the body and Expressive Arts. In her yoga workshops, Sophia guides students in bringing embodied awareness to the kinesthetic, emotional and imaginal dimensions of their experience while practicing asanas and breathing to foster sustained, embodied transformation.

For her ongoing groups and workshops, for which CEUs for MFTs and LCSWs are also available, please see her workshop page.

Psychotherapy
By bringing embodied awareness to those aspects of our experience that were wounded and silenced, we can grow into richer and more fulfilling ways of being.

Yoga
When we perform yoga asanas and breathwork as a practice of embodied awareness, our bodies stretch, both physically and psychologically, into new postures and new attitudes of openness and well-being.
