Yoga Therapy

"I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis when I was 23, I am now 41 and the pain and limitation to my movement were becoming so bad that it was affecting my family and quality of life.

I had tried yoga for a while and it helped but I was still having pain and limitation in my movement. Since starting with Carrie I have notice a huge reduction in my pain and the limitation on my movement have greatly eased.

This last weekend I was able to get through the 2 days with no pain. The fact that I did landscaping for the 2 days and then was still able to be pain free was amazing.

I cannot say enough about Carrie and the program that she has implemented for me. It has truly been life changing."

"I started working with Carrie in early May - going for the 1st time I was not really sure what would come of the experience. I’m not your likely Yoga candidate! I’ve suffered with chronic hip pain for a long time. I just thought it was part of the aging process, since I was told that there was nothing wrong with my hip. Carrie & I talked and with her gentle approach and suggestion that she might be able to help me I went for my first Yoga Therapy session. Carrie was very kind and understanding - she explained very clearly what we were going to work on.

After my 1st visit I agreed to come back and keep working with her - best decision I’ve made in a very long time. Carrie was able to assist me in relieving my chronic hip pain, found some other issues that were likely the cause of my pain and we are working on that now.

My hip is almost totally pain free in just a few sessions - Carrie is so gentle , patient, encouraging and kind - she really seemed to care about me and how I was doing. I certainly plan to keep working with her."

"Carrie and I began our work together several months ago.  Since this time I have experienced transformational healing, and have created ease in my body.  Carrie is attentive and especially well versed in the Therapeutic side of yoga, and is careful to stretch and strengthen injured muscles without causing pain or further injury. I am sincerely thankful for her knowledge of the body and how it works as she has used that knowledge every session we have together to identify problem areas, and work to rehabilitate them.  We have progressed through simply working to ease pain; to gaining fuller range of motion; to strengthening surrounding muscles.  The yoga I have learned to practise with Carrie as my teacher has been transformational in reduction of pain, richness of life, and learning to live with ease and gentleness."

"Since I have been seeing Carrie for Yoga Therapy things in my life have changed a great deal. I have had chronic pain in my hips for as long as I can remember. On my first session I noticed a calm feeling in my body that has increased as we continue to work together. Last night after my yoga session one of my coworkers said that she has never seen me so relaxed. I have a high stress job and have a very hard time relaxing. I have tried massage therapy and physiotherapy but have never seen results. I now can get out of bed in the morning without pain. This is so amazing to me. I just want to shout out to everyone to try this."

" I have been doing yoga for about 4 years now and Carrie Meyer is definitely an awesome instructor!  I thought I knew yoga until I met her. I was going through all the poses and the breathing but she really took the time to show me each pose thoroughly. I had leg and hip pain for several years but Carrie showed me poses that catered specifically to my condition and I have to say I am pain-free! She gives you knowledge, educates you about your muscle groups and how they are all connected. She also introduced me to yoga therapy which I have never had before and it is truly enlightening. It is worth it to take the time, enjoy it and learn all the essentials of yoga, what it can do for your body mentally as well as physically.

I have also had her Thai Massage and it is like no other!  Each body part and muscle group is totally enhanced, you feel so light and refreshed when she is finished...it is exhilarating!  I would highly recommend it!  

Carrie has masterfully helped me create ease and mobility in my body. I recommend you try a program with her!"

"Since starting yoga with Carrie I have gained more strength and ease in my body. I have completely eliminated my lower back pain by working on my core strength. Carrie works with her students one on one to help each student reach their specific goals.

Yoga has greatly improved my posture and helped me gain more self-confidence. I would highly recommend Living Truth Yoga, the knowledge and care that Carrie provides does not compare to anywhere else I've been."

Therapeutic Thai Massage 

"My Thai Massage with Carrie was one of the best massages I have ever experienced! I really felt the benefits of the massage technique and passive movement/stretching at the same time. I felt much looser and energized after. With no shortage of strength, Carrie has an excellent sense of determining how much pressure to use even in tight/tender spots - she definitely has a special talent and I will be referring patients her way!"

"Amazing! I've had many Thai massages in Thailand, completed Thai and Aromatherapy Massage courses myself, and received numerous deep tissure and relaxation massage over the past 10 years. This was, without a doubt, the BEST massage experience I've ever had!"

"Just wanted to thank you for the excellent massages every night of the TransRockies. I can honestly say that without your skills I would not have been able to finish the race."

"You always made me feel unique and really listened to my needs,  which was hugely liberating. Your sessions re-energized and rehabilitated my aching, exhausted body during the TransRockies. After the initial high of the treatment, I was relaxed, rebalanced and ready for another grueling day. Every day you gave me confidence, strength and flexibility. To sum up - absolutely amazing treatments and incredible warmth and attention to my system's needs.

Thank you so much for your support, insight and expertise. I've never ever had such an effective, comfortable massage, with a feeling of real care. You're a very gifted professional and anyone who has the good fortune of your talent will never forget the wonderful lasting effect that it has."
