Yoga therapy is the meeting of ancient yogic practice with the holding of a therapeutic relationship. At its heart, is a person-centred approach that honours the interdependence of body and mind.

Yoga therapy is grounded in the biopsychosocial–spiritual model, a framework that considers the dimensions of human experience and the ways in which they are interconnected. This approach highlights the dynamic relationship between biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors, recognising that changes in one area often influence others. These dimensions include the physical body and its systems; breath and vital energy; the mind, encompassing thoughts and emotions; and the spiritual dimension, understood as wisdom, discernment, and states of connection and joy.

Sessions typically begin with a holistic assessment to explore these dimensions within the context of your life and to identify the focus of the work. From there, we explore subtle and dynamic movement, grounding techniques, breathwork, relaxation, self-massage, and meditative as well as sensory awareness. Sessions are guided by a responsive and compassionate therapeutic approach, allowing space for whatever may arise.
