​

I am a qualified Yoga Therapist, and am currently adding to my training with the Minded Institute in Integrated Yoga Psychotherapy

​

But what is Yoga Therapy and what makes it different from 1:1 yoga?

​

"Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner.  Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person at all levels." - TKV Desikachar & Kausthub Desikachar

 

People tend to seek Yoga Therapy to support themselves with their mental and physical health conditions through the science and ancient wisdom of yoga and its practises and other lifestyle measures. After an intake form and initial session, we will collaboratively create a plan for the therapeutic process. Practises are then explored within the session, and between sessions a home practise is prescribed. This mix aims to help empower the client with tools to improve their own wellbeing, get closer to themselves, create greater alignment and minimise suffering

​

The word holistic is often misused and certainly misunderstood. A holistic treatment is one "characterised by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease." Because Yoga Therapy views the person from a holistic, person centred approach, it allows therapist and client to work together to see the broader picture, and uniquely tailor sessions to the individual, which might involve working with several conditions or aspects of the self simultaneously

​

Conditions that can be worked with include:
 

Depression, Anxiety, Stress, PTSD, Schizophrenia, ADHD, Eating Disorders, Addictions, Post Natal Depression, Bipolar, Autism

Musculoskeletal conditions, Diabetes, Hypertension, Parkinson's, Asthma, COPD, Cancer, HIV, Alzheimer's, MS, Autoimmune Conditions, IBS, Heart Disease, Insomnia, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, ME/CFS, Chronic Pain

​

I offer sessions both virtually online and in person out of therapy rooms in Clapham Junction.Email me today to enquire about starting your Yoga Therapy journey. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to see if you think we would be a good fit

I am currently offering sessions to those integrating more traditional talking therapy techniques into Yoga Therapy. This can add an additional lens to explore themselves through and can be useful for people that want to explore their own patterns of thinking and behaviours. It can also be a space to explore our emotions, interpersonal dynamics and our past histories in greater detail that Yoga Therapy can offer

​

Going forward I will likely only offer an integrated approach in my work, but as I am still in traineing I am treating these two disciplines as distinct and seperate

​

I have completed all of my contact hours with The Minded Institute and am in the process of accruing client hours. I currently have space to take on just 2 clients for online work

​

I will shortly be looking for clients to commit to 24 sessions as part of my case studies. These sessions will be offered virtually at a reduced rate as they form part of my training. If this is something you are interested in, please state this when you contact me

​

For all my work I attend fortnightly supervision

​

Please note going forward I am not taking on clients for 1:1 yoga. If you are looking for personalised yoga to support with a mental or physical health condition, please do consider Yoga Therapy with me instead
