Yoga, although often taught in a group setting, is best done on an individual basis. Targeting specific practices and tools to you as an individual with specific needs and pain points.

Therapeutic yoga offers a unique approach to wellbeing, as it is person centred and does not separate out the mind, the body and the breath, but instead includes all these things in the treatment plan, and more.

Therapeutic yoga treats you as a whole person. When we experience suffering – or dukkha – as it is known in Sanskrit, it doesn’t just affect one part of us. Your body and breath, your emotions, energy and your mind are always working together to create your experience moment to moment. So, it’s important when we are working with a problem, or imbalance, that the approach is “whole-istic” to get the best results.

This way of working is not commonly available elsewhere. Often in modern systems of healing, the mind is treated, or the body is treated, but not both together. Take anxiety for example, talking therapies are often used/recommended – which is hreat and often helpful, but doesn’t consider the tension/tightness the person may be experiencing in their body when they feel anxious or the shallow breathing that is providing a feedback loop back to the brain to keep them in the fight or flight response.

Therapeutic yoga is an excellent system for helping reduce or support almost any pain you might be experiencing – whether that be physical or mental, but my specialism is in working with busy professionals who are struggling physically and mentally due to overwhelm, stress, anxiety and are feeling burnt out or are recovering from burn out.

I will ask you to fill in a questionnaire before our time together asking about your lifestyle and for some information about what it is you are struggling with. This saves time in our first session gathering information, so the more you can provide up front the better.

We will then spend a little bit of time talking it through, but please be aware that this way of working is not just talking therapy, so I will be getting you to do some gentle movement and to get out of your head and into your body.

We will use a wide variety of holistic and coaching tools to help rebalance any imbalances in your lifestyle, body and mind, including physical movement, breathing work, mantra/affirmations and possibly making suggestions for small changes to diet and lifestyle. This is all tailored to you as an individual with specific and unique imbalances, life circumstances, constitution and needs.

I will give you some homework to practice in between our session. But don’t worry, we will work together to make sure that this is achievable for you.
I recommend having at least 4 sessions. You might find you need a few more, but not always. My goal is to empower you with the tools that you need to maintain the positive changes you will see starting to happen long term.

You could take your sessions weekly or every other week. We can work out what is best for you when we have our first session.

You can do your sessions in person -if you are local to me, (in Bolton), or via zoom.
