Follow-up sessions are indicated by your yoga therapist after evaluating your needs
The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) defines Yoga therapy as the professional application of the tools and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management and yoga practices for individuals and small groups.
In a yoga therapy session we look at the whole person. What’s happening in your physical body, what you’re experiencing emotionally, and how you best connect to spiritual practice. We use the tools of yoga – breath, movement, mudra, mantra, meditation and more – to find a practice that moves you towards a feeling of wholeness.

Jessa Buchalter, RYT 500, PRYT, CRYT, YACEP, Yoga Therapist-in-training
She practices Yoga Therapy in Boulder County, using asana, pranayama, mudra, meditation, self inquiry and Jin Shin Jytsu to help her clients reach their wellness goals. Jessa has been working with these tools professionally for over 15 years. She has taught over 1000 hours of yoga and received over 1000 hours of professional development. Jessa holds specialized certifications from Yoga Alliance for working with clients during pregnancy, postpartum and with children. She is currently completing her fourth year of training in yoga therapy with Hansa.
Jessa is the mother of two children on the cusp of their teenage years, living in Longmont, CO with her husband and cat.
First and foremost, my goal as a mentor for the Yoga Therapy Students in our training is to support them in the journey to become a yoga therapist. When I started studying yoga, more than forty years ago, and then completed teacher training five years later, yoga was taught in a therapeutic style that included body, mind and Spirit. With the growth of yoga in America, yoga classes changed from the internal journey to people connecting with their body and its flexibility. Often this change did not include as much focus on the flexibility of life and our connection to Spirit, and our training yokes back in this classical expression of yoga. Overall, our approach is meant to open a door for students, and their clients, to dive deeper into the practice that is changing their life.

My mother and very first yoga teacher likes to boast that I began my yoga practice in the womb. I grew up immersed in yoga with an endless curiosity and desire to grow which led me to my initial 200hr yoga training in 2007 and inspired the additional 1100 hours of continued professional development and nearly 2000 hours working with students over the last 16 years. I am currently completing a 1380 hr C-IAYT Yoga Therapy Training with Hansa Knox and offering Yoga Therapy under her supervision. I guide my students to bring awareness to their unconscious patterns, to integrate their own physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience and be empowered to be and move in their bodies in a different way. Deep breath and an inward focused attention is the heart of my gentle, but challenging therapeutic offering, intended to help you “come home to your body.”

Samantha (she/her) has been a practitioner of yoga since 2001 where she first found yoga after a back injury.

In 2007 she started teaching yoga in Green Bay, WI, where she was already employed as a personal trainer. She completed a 200-hour teacher training in 2011 at Pranava Yoga Center and after years of self-study, she completed her 300-hour advanced training in 2018.

Chandrika
Specialties: Mantra, Chanting, Music Therapy
Virtual Online Appointments only
My journey with yoga began when my son was born in 2001. I decided I wanted to do everything in my power to heal and grow to be a better parent and provider for that little human. What I learned has made my life manageable and even enjoyable. It is my North Star in everything I do.
My goal as a teacher and yoga therapist is to share all I have learned to help people heal and grow, while exploring the tools of yoga. Helping people improve quality of life, and function and live more fully in the world around them.
I have studied classical yoga for over 20 years, with over 1200 hours of training.
My other life endeavors have included being a professional cellist, private music teacher, studying Indian music, owning a yoga studio, raising my son, and taking every opportunity possible to travel and enjoy nature.

Hansa, School Director, Yoga Therapist, Lead Instructor
Hansa, C-IAYT, LMT, KYCT, E-RYT500, YACEP
My goal as a teacher of Yoga Therapy is to first teach exploring yoga on and off the mat, our focus in the class work. As I mentor students during their practicum experiences, I look for the inclusion of anatomical wisdom, yoga lifestyle basics and the use of a variety of yoga tools, including breathing practice, meditation, mantra, mudra, the use of subtle body points called marma, and much more. Did they include them in your protocol? I review the intake of your case. Then, I answer questions and educate the therapist in training in areas they are seeking more knowledge. I also support them in their protocol choices and, if necessary, guide them to next steps as they mature their yoga therapy relationship with you. My belief is that yoga begins when you leave the mat, so integrating awareness of “what is happening” on a subtle level can invite a student/client inquiry about “what is happening to me.”
