Much of my work is in remedial or therapeutic yoga for those who may require additional 1-2-1 support for a specific health issue – physical or mental.
Individuals may be referred by their GP, an allied health professional, counsellor/therapist or via self-referral.
Please note that I don’t accept new male patients by self-referral – if not referred by another professional then they are accepted only by referral from known students of mine.
Therapeutic yoga can help a person with a specific health concern because it is based on yoga’s whole-person approach to healing and recovery, fostering the natural connection between body and mind to maintain on-going health.
Therapeutic or remedial yoga teachers are usually very experienced, often work in collaboration with other health professionals and have undertaken specialist training.
Specialist Areas:
- Stress, anxiety, depression
- Trauma/PTSD
- Disability
- Post injury or surgery recovery
- Osteoporosis
- Eating Disorders
What Happens During a Therapeutic Remedial Yoga Session?
The first session is usually a consultation between the therapeutic yoga teacher and the client to consider medical history, assess the body and discuss the health concerns to enable a plan of therapeutic remedial yoga practices to be tailored to the individual’s needs.
The consultation is between 1 to 1.5 hours.
The teacher will then suggest a recommended course of sessions that may include adapted and adjusted yoga practices that involve posture work, breathing, relaxation and meditation.
Sessions are 50 minutes.
