Yoga Therapy

The therapeutic approach of Yoga Therapy aims to empower the individual with simple tools they can use on a daily basis at home, to improve their sense of well being. The beauty and uniqueness of yoga therapy is that we create a bespoke practice together, based on your individual needs. Yoga Therapy is not a Yoga Class - read more

Yoga Therapy is a unique approach to health that utilises the ancient science of yoga to treat individuals in personalised one to one sessions.

I have completed a Graduate Certificate in Yoga Therapy through the Yoga Therapy Institute in Sydney. This course was a year of specialised training to assess and adapt yoga practices safely and effectively for therapeutic purposes.

In sessions with me, we work together to create the right therapeutic practice to empower you to alleviate symptoms, focus on recovery, or heal from injury.

‘Healing is not about fixing the body. It’s about coming into a right relationship with it’ — Donna Farhi

Yoga therapy integrates thousands of years of yogic knowledge - physical postures, breathing practices, meditation, yoga nidra and relaxation techniques.

It is a complementary health approach that supports physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. It works very well as part of a coordinated care team, alongside physiotherapy, psychotherapy, nutrition or counselling. Sessions are adjusted as we progress, or in alignment with your GP or psychologist’s clinical observations and goals.

Yoga Therapy can be an invaluable support for women moving through hormonal changes, pregnancy and post partum, peri/menopause. Read more
