True Yoga + Therapy opened last month to offer integrative health solutions via yoga classes and therapeutic services for whole-body healing. “Yoga brought me a sense of peace, balance and control that I had never before realized,” says owner Sydney Wasdin, who is an associate licensed counselor and certified yoga teacher. Her passion for integrative care blossomed when she discovered how the science behind yoga is deeply connected to the science of psychology. As she pursued a career in clinical mental health counseling, she began incorporating yoga and mindfulness into her work within the field. She has taught yoga in fitness, hospital and school settings, as well as with high school sports teams.

While True classes are open to everyone, Wasdin is particularly interested in attracting students new to yoga. “Because I am sensitive to mental health issues, I know that many people struggle to even walk into a yoga studio. But I have a space for them here—this is a very body-positive environment and we provide a sense of love and community to optimize your learning and personal journey in yoga,” she says. An introductory guide can be downloaded from True’s website to prepare new students for their first class.

Through her private practice, True Therapy, LLC, Wasdin offers yoga therapy and counseling for adolescents, young adults and adults using an integrative and holistic approach.
