RE-ESTABLISH & MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTH WITH YOGA
The Yoga Tradition looks you, the individual, as a whole being.
It considers the layers & links between your physical, mental & emotional aspects of your being.
When embarking in Yoga Therapy you will have a in-depth 1:1 consultation to co-design an individualised plan that will support you achieve your health & wellness goals.
We will work together to identify your main concerns, set goals and create new habits.
Offering a unique body-mind approach to healing, Yoga Therapy aims to put YOU at the centre of your journey.
Yoga Therapy encourages you to connect with your inner intelligence, inner resource
and may improve your overall daily living and quality of your life.

Step 2. When you’re ready, purchase the new client introductory package, schedule your first appointment and complete the intake form.
Step 3. During your initial 90-minute appointment, we will review your intake form and discuss your goals. During this appointment we will seek to ascertain the core issue/s and root cause/s of your presenting condition/s including your belief systems, lifestyle and other personal challenges.
Step 4. In our second session, we begin working together to explore tools & practices that you can implement & integrate into your life to help you achieve your personal goals. We may utilize tools including asana (physical shapes), pranayama (breath awareness and techniques), mudra (hand gestures), mantras (sounds), visualizations, chanting, relaxation, meditation, dietary advice (Ayurveda), lifestyle counseling and guidance. In-between the second and third session you are encouraged to implement these tools.

EXTRA INFORMATION
Additional follow up appointments can be made as needed, this may be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc. They can vary in length with 30, 60, 90 minute options available below.
Yoga Therapy sessions normally flows in a 4-step process:
1) Rest and Release
2) Functional Restoration
3) Strength Building
4) Empowerment of the Person
This may be accomplished within the first 3 sessions; however, you may require follow up sessions that extend over a number of months.
As a Yoga Therapist in these follow up sessions, I offer ongoing guidance in your process of self-study (svadhyaya) so that you can gain greater self-understanding.
As you continue on your own svadhyaya you are able to continue to understand more about yourself. You may in turn feel more empowered and more able to be in control of the maintenance and management of your own daily health needs.
