HomeBlog
Our blog at the Collingwood Psychotherapy and Yoga Centre has been created to share our perspectives, experiences and passions for: healing trauma; improving relationships; cultivating the connection to the Self; the journey of parenting; developmental neurobiology; yoga therapy; yoga psychology; and other observations we might have that are related to healing and personal growth.

No matter where you are in your life, engaging with the healing practices and therapeutic relationships we offer at CPYC, can help you live more authentically, with more health, with more choices, with less suffering, more satisfying relationships and deeper joy.

We hope our reflections can inspire, nurture and support you as you move along this beautiful, challenging, human journey.
