A HOLISTIC PERSONALISED APPROACH TO HEALING
We recognise that true healing is deeply personal. There’s no single method that works for everyone - your body, nervous system, and experiences are unique.

Through a holistic, trauma-informed approach, we develop a customised practice that supports not just the physical body, but also your energy, emotions, and nervous system.
Using gentle, therapeutic yoga techniques, somatic therapy, breath-work, and guided awareness, we can help with:
Our goal is simple: to help you feel better and empower you with tools to support your health - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

so what is yoga therapy anyway?
Yoga therapy is a specialty within the yoga tradition that empowers you to progress toward improved holistic health through the practise of yoga. A certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) considers all aspects of your wellbeing, and utilises a whole-being approach to assess the needs of your body, breath, mind, emotions and connection to spirit.
how is it different to a yoga class?
Yoga is an embodied practise of our whole selves, and yoga therapy is a specialty within that practise. Yoga therapy goes far beyond what you get in a yoga class or even a yoga retreat. It is a holistic system through which to understand health and disease, and it utilises a broad range of body-mind practises tailored to individual physical, mental and emotional needs.
What are the benefits?
With regular private yoga sessions, you will begin to move with greater ease and feel more comfortable in your body as tensions unwind and release. Your digestion, immune function, nervous system, and cardiorespiratory health will improve. You will begin to sleep better and become more energetic and vibrant. You will also have greater mental space and clarity as your emotions become more balanced.
We will help you to gain a deeper insight into the obvious and not so obvious factors underlying your current state of health. And we work with you to address the root cause or causes of disease, and coach you on your personal journey to better health, and greater happiness.
We are proud of our track record helping people to manage, and, where possible, recover from chronic health conditions.
