About me and yoga therapy

What is yoga therapy?


Yoga Therapy uses the yoga traditions of movement, breathing, and deep relaxation to promote all round health, as well as alleviate medical conditions. It is a personalised approach centred around your goals and individual needs. 

 

I use yoga as either primary or complementary therapy. For example, when I had a recent client who had whiplash, she went to a physiotherapist and an osteopath as her primary care. I used yoga therapy as a complementary therapy to help her manage the pain and recover from the accident, which left her in a heightened stress state. 

Self love - how I have learned to be more kind to myself

Self love - how I have learned to be more kind to myself

I know that it’s not always possible to be happy and positive. This wouldn’t be normal because our moods fluctuate depending on our circumstances. But when we work on being more compassionate to ourselves, it can change our outlook.

I’ve realised over the years, as I’ve deepened my knowledge of the practice of yoga, that ultimately we just need to be our authentic selves–and this starts with self-love.

I don’t know what to call myself, but this is what I do

What I bring to the sessions when I have a private one to one session is ME.  The experiences I have had living with hypermobility, pain, anxiety, burnout and, raising a family of 4 boys. To be fully present, to listen and then to find a plan that works for each beautiful unique person that steps into my yoga studio 
Step Into The Uncomfortable

Step Into The Uncomfortable

I think this was a real lesson about stepping into the uncomfortable. It wasn’t only about being with a fear, but about how this can relate to moments in my life, and having moments of being incredibly uncomfortable.
Journey to My Mat

Journey to My Mat

Years later, the mat called to me again. I missed “me” on the floor with my thoughts and the connection I started, with learning about myself. As I kept growing, the call from the mat was then amplified, and I then embarked on my yoga teacher training.
