Welcome
Partner with your body for your mental health and a joyful, harmonious life!
Yoga therapy is based on the teachings, research, and practice of yoga, Buddhism, neuroscience, psychology, and Ayurveda. Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that is informed by yoga; it's not instruction. Most clients have never practiced yoga and don't intend to. It's called yoga therapy because it is based on the principle that the best way to the mind is through the body.
Through a carefully led embodied practice a client will come to understand behavior, thought patterns, and life experience in a new way. Yoga therapy can transform stress, anxiety, fear, and depression, heal, motivate and empower, and help one embrace and manifest life changes.
​​
Yoga therapy is offered to individuals, couples, and groups.
Embodied connection with nature is fundamental for living a balanced, inspired, and fulfilled life. It's coming home to our natural state of belonging and being - empowered, expansive, and at ease. Awaken your vital essence in the natural spaces you were born to roam.
Practices help you release stress, breathe fresh air, get moving, calm the mind, soothe the spirit, and regain your sense of curiosity and adventure.
Individual and group offerings.
Implement workplace mental health and wellness support designed to center staff wellbeing and engrain a culture of respect, inclusivity, and cooperation.

SEVA means service. OGGI BE is committed to service!
​
We are committed to supporting the givers and leaders in our community who are on the front lines of our collective wellness and sovereignty.
Many service and non-profit careers can have unintended negative impacts on the people who step up to do that work. Secondary trauma, collective pain and grief, high levels of stress, and more can lead to personal imbalance and strain the nervous system.
OGGI BE provides free therapeutic experiences to people working in these fields so that they can access support, cultivate their resilience, and be restored!

I have had the wonderful pleasure of working with Christine and from the first session, I said you are better than any doctor!!! I say that because connecting to myself has allowed me to use tools and self guidance to react to situations, grow and learn from them vs continuing to stress out. I feel so much more in tune to my needs, who I truly am. I am able to say no to things that don't serve me, I am able to have patience with those around me, I am able to process a situation and come up with solutions. I feel like a completely different person! Christine helps me move forward and that is gold! :)

Our couples yoga therapy session was surprisingly intimate and nourishing. Christine asked gentle, thoughtful questions that helped me understand and connect more deeply with my partner.

I'd never heard of yoga therapy before I met Christine, and I really had no idea what to expect. I've never been one for traditional talk therapy as I don't like rehashing past trauma or wallowing in misery. My session with Christine blew me away. Incorporating movement unleashed so much emotion, clarity, and insight – it was transformative and supremely life-affirming. Christine is also extremely gentle, kind, and immediately puts you at ease. I highly recommend her services!!

OGGI BE was founded by Christine Badalamenti Smith. It is a collection of practices and services that embrace the unique qualities of every person as they arrive in the present moment, it is a community of engaged and empowered people embracing what is and what can be, and it is a state of mind.
OGGI BE acknowledges all aspects of being human today, with a focus on mental health, emotional resilience, personal growth, and empowerment.
OGGI BE is a bridge from the individual to the communal and natural world.
Human wellness is inextricably linked with the wellness of our Earth and our relationship with it. Mental and physical health are a mirror to that effect. Improving the balance within, and the connections among people will result in better stewardship of the land, and in turn, better conditions in which to thrive and prosper.
