what is yoga therapy?

Yoga therapy adapts yoga’s tools to people with specific or persistent health problems not usually addressed in a group class.

Yoga therapy supports a process of self empowerment where health and wholeness is not the responsibility of experts and authority figures.  

My role will be to offer guidance and tools that support your well being.  Your job is to actively engage and discover what works for you.

I use an individualised approach to yoga practice.  When designing yoga practices for care seekers, I consider a range of factors including interests, history, culture, condition, goals, experience and lifestyle. Your practices will be unique to you and will evolve with you. 

You can expect your yoga practice to be a multi-dimensional one that works on various systems at the same time.  Practice is always progressive, non-invasive and will be complementary to other modalities you might be pursuing.  I’m experienced in working with physiotherapists, Chinese Medicine doctors, massage therapists and clinicians to provide a coordinated approach to your wellbeing.   I am always happy to collaborating with your health care professional so you receive the best care possible.

For accountability, I seek supervision from Dr Natesan Chandrasekaran with whom I consult.  I also do peer supervision with fellow Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitators.

If you'd like a yoga practice to manage a particular condition, yoga therapy may help.

All yoga therapy sessions are one on one. See how it works here
