Gestalt Therapy & Yoga with Mariana García Flores
Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist · Heart of Yoga Teacher · Supporting clients online, worldwide
"Each of us carries an innate wisdom that can guide us, even through life's most difficult seasons."
I accompany you through difficulty, loss, and transition, supporting you in regaining clarity, direction, and peace.
By weaving together psychotherapy and yoga, I help you ground in the wisdom of your own heart and find steady footing through hard seasons.
This is where the science of psychotherapy meets the wisdom of your body and breath.
Grounding in your heart allows strength, steadiness, peace, healing and the unfolding of insight, clarity, direction, and transformation.
We listen deeply, not just to your words, but to your body. The body doesn’t lie. It speaks in breath, posture, movement, tone, gesture, and sensation. It remembers what the mind forgets and tells the truth when the mind cannot. We will combine verbal and non-verbal communication to stay with what is real and alive in the body.
Personalized, holistic sessions that align body, mind, and spirit by weaving together yoga and psychotherapy.
These sessions are an intimate and safe space where body, emotion, and mind meet. Together, we create room to process what hurts, what feels stuck, and what has been hard to carry.
Movement in the body allows what is stuck to be processed, and gradually softened and released.
The combination of yoga and conversation allows the mind to relax and open to receiving insight from the wisdom of the body. And when conversation brings a realisation, we return to the body to incorporate and embody the feelings and understanding, so that healing isn't just understood, but lived and integrated.
The body and the mind are not separate. They need each other, and together, they help you move through difficulty toward balance and clarity.
YOGA
Breath centred yoga is a practice where movement follows the breath, allowing the breath to guide the mind into the body. Through this process, body and mind relax, align, and come into presence. Yoga unites breath, body, and mind so we can inhabit ourselves fully and participate more intimately in life. From this embodied awareness, we rediscover our wholeness, learn to feel and hold our emotions, and deepen our relationships with ourselves and others.
THERAPY
Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes presence, inviting awareness of what is happening here and now within ourselves and in our relationships. Rather than trying to fix or change, it supports us to recognize patterns, emotions, needs, and ways of relating through direct experience. Healing emerges through contact with the body, emotions, and one’s inner truth within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.
RELATIONSHIP
Everything that has ever happened to us did not happen in isolation, but in relationship. In the same way, healing does not happen alone, it unfolds in relationship.
The relationship I hope to establish with you is one of trust, presence, and genuine human connection, where we can explore what hurts, notice repeating patterns, and try things out together, so that what needs to be seen can be heard, felt, and transformed.

A space for connection, and therefore, healing.
At the heart of it, there is a longing to feel grounded in your body and your life. A desire for clear direction. A wish to feel at home within yourself, safe and connected in your relationships. A hope for relief from the overwhelm, stress, and the weight of emotions that have had no place to land.
You may have been feeling disconnected without quite understanding why.
There may be anxiety, stress, anger, or grief. It might feel like you’re stuck, and the path forward isn’t clear.
I want you to know that things can change, and you do not have to do it all alone.
Together, we can create a space where all of you is welcome and received, a space where we pause and listen with care, allowing patterns to soften and things to move in their own rhythm.

Yoga
The practice of direct participation in your life. Yoga is an intimate connection with your self and this connection ensures you are living your own life; the one that wants to live through you. Yoga is meditation in action. The action of love and devotion.
Gestalt Psychotherapy
Gestalt therapy is a holistic, present-centered approach that fosters awareness, responsibility, and authentic living. It supports personal growth by transforming outdated patterns and reconnecting with one’s true needs.
Mindfulness
The practice of attuning to ourselves, listening, and getting to know our mind, heart, and body. This generates awareness & opens space for freedom and choice.
MBSR Programme
