IMT and the Path to Healing Addiction

Embracing the Power of Integrated Movement Therapy (IMT)

Integrated Movement Therapy (IMT) is a holistic approach to yoga therapy that goes beyond addressing symptoms and behaviors that may hinder your healing and recovery. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including movements, breath practices, mindfulness, art, yoga postures, and yoga philosophy, all aimed at cultivating wholeness, well-being, and transformation. At OPS, we understand that addiction can be a deeply rooted coping mechanism, and that's why IMT holds incredible potential for those seeking recovery. Let's dive deeper into how IMT can support you on your journey to healing and freedom.

A Mind-Body Approach: Honoring Your Expertise

IMT recognizes that you, as the participant, are the expert of your own experience. It embraces a mind-body approach, acknowledging the intricate connection between our mental and physical health. Trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression can intertwine, impacting every aspect of our lives. IMT seeks to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with these histories, fostering a safe and supportive environment where change can happen.

Meet Martha: Your Companion on the Healing Journey

Led by Martha, our certified Integrated Movement Therapist, Substance Use Disorder Counselor, poet, and artist, our movement and mindfulness group sessions provide a nurturing space for exploration and growth. Every Tuesday, we gather to embark on an empowering session where you are invited to check in with yourself, connecting with your deepest needs in the present moment. Through guided movement exercises and conscious breathwork, we ground ourselves, quiet the mind, and nurture a sense of stability and peace.

Discovering Solace and Resilience

By cultivating a strong connection with our bodies, IMT offers solace and strength, especially for those dealing with anxiety, triggers, or panic attacks. Our Movement & Mindfulness sessions calm the nervous system while equipping you with valuable self-soothing techniques. These skills become indispensable tools as you navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. Together, we explore the power of interconnectedness and embodiment, unlocking your inner strength to radiate healing and inner calm in every aspect of your life.
