Our Story
​It all started with a book proposal: In 2023 Michelle Fury decided to write her second book Yoga Therapy for Complex Trauma (to be published by Singing Dragon, August 2025). After nearly two decades of seeing clients of all ages, and training professionals on how to integrate yoga into mental health treatment, Michelle wanted to give back. She invited Ayala Homossany, who'd trained with her in several contexts, to join her on this exciting, yet daunting project. In the year that it took to write the book, they held regular focus sessions with a small but dedicated handful of students, and had countless conversations with key opinion leaders in the fields of yoga, yoga therapy, trauma, psychology and neuroscience. By the time Michelle submitted the finalized manuscript on October 31, 2024, Rhythm Yoga Therapy was born. Read more about their personal stories and professional journeys below.
