Individualised to your Unique Being

Preventative, Restorative, Palliative and Curative

Yoga can address different aspects of yourself, to maintain health and wellbeing or to support healing and improve health, where we can begin to feel more comfortable and peaceful with ourselves. Yoga is preventative in nature, but it can also be restorative, palliative and curative in many instances. There is a growing body of eveidence to show how Yoga can be therapeutic for many physical and mental health conditions.

I work holistically and collaboratively and I am interested in developing a trusting relationship with you, where your authenticity and wellbeing is key. Tools that we can explore include, breath work, postures, voicework, meditation, relaxation techniques, diet and Ayurveda lifestyle, depending on your needs and interests.

Yoga can be used as therapy, either on its own or alongisde other treatment for conditions like;

• • Back pain
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • IBS
  • Asthma
  • Eczema and other skin conditions
  • Heart Disease
  • Sleep issues
  • Pregnancy
  • Post Partum Recovery
  • Menopause
  • Support through IVF
  • Managing Stress
  • Sciatica
  • Recuperation after injury

Who is this suitable for?

• • You are committed to developing a personal Yoga practice
  • You have a therapeutic need you wish to address with a home practice (stress, anxiety, sleep issues, energetic or structural problems, breathing difficulties)
  • You're interested in deepening and extending your practice of Yoga – working with more demanding postures and techniques not usually taught in a group class
  • You would appreciate more detailed feedback and advice on your practice
  • You find that committing to a regular class is very difficult

How does it work?

An initial consultation session usually lasts 90 minutes, where we will explore how you would like Yoga to support you and how it can be integrated into your daily life and your health and wellbeing needs. I will then devise a home practice which I will guide you through during the session and write out for you to practice at home. Based on your feedback, subsequent sessions build on this initial practice and can develop in many different ways.

Frequency of sessions entirely depends on your choice and what seems appropriate and possible for you. It is best to initially commit to a minimum of four sessions to get started and feel the benefits.

To decide if this is the best option for you, reach out to me. I offer a 30 minute free consultation to discuss your challenges, health conditions, injurys, health and wellbeing goals and to explore how you would like Yoga to support you.

These can be done face to face or via Skype or Zoom.
