What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy goes beyond traditional yoga by bringing together elements such as counselling, psychotherapy, nervous system regulation and somatic (body-based) techniques, alongside traditional yoga practices, to offer a holistic approach to healing.
Yoga therapy can be used to support you through all challenges, whether related to your mental or physical health, at times we look at the way these two interact and affect each other.
Often, traditional healing modalities focus in on one area of a person and work only there, but when we do that we forget the whole. People are multifaceted and all the different parts of us effect each other. When we see a person holistically (as a whole) we can start to understand the root causes of our ill health and therefore make changes that are deep and long lasting.
Yoga therapy is about learning to listen to and understand your body. We learn to speak the language of our bodies, understanding the signs and signals our body gives us so that we can work with our bodies rather than against them.
With this improved understanding of ourselves we can see the ways past experiences have shaped us and begin to move forwards and make positive changes.
Yoga therapy teaches us how to be kinder to ourselves and how to better regulate our emotions and our nervous systems. This leads to feeling more balances, joyful and at ease, in our bodies, minds and lives.

How can yoga therapy help you?
There are numerous ways that yoga therapy can support you and each session is different depending on the needs of the individual. At the heart of my approach is nervous system regulation, a foundational thread interwoven through every practice to help you move from a state of stress or depletion into one of balance and resilience.
Physical Health
I work with people with a variety of conditions including chronic pain, muscular skelatal issues, neurological conditions, healthy aging, cancer support and more. Whether as a stand alone therapy or in combination with other treatment, yoga therapy can support you through a number of physical conditions.
Having trained in fascia anatomy with renowned expert Gray Carter, I have a deep knowledge and understanding of how the body works and how to make changes, form healthier habits and move you towards happier and healthier function in your body.
Mental Health
Yoga therapy can be seen as an alternative to talking therapy that works with the body not just the mind. Sometimes talking through our problems isn’t enough and it doesn’t always get to the root of what is wrong. Our emotions are felt in our bodies just as much, if not more, than in our minds. Working somatically (with the body) can give space for deep and meaningful changes, giving our bodies the space to heal.
Research has shown that when emotions and experienced are felt and healed in the body, not just the mind, the effects can be much more long lasting than when they are dealt with by talking alone.
