Your Yoga Therapy Journey

What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga has a comprehensive philosophy and a complete system of practices that can help us meet the challenges of everyday life with greater steadiness, clarity and ease.

Through one-to-one yoga therapy, individual tuition and Vedic chanting, I offer a personalised approach that respects each person’s circumstances, needs and aspirations. Together we explore practices drawn from the yoga tradition that can support physical wellbeing, emotional balance and personal growth.
​
Whether you are completely new to yoga or have been practising for many years, we start where you are right now and develop step by step from there.

What to Expect

The first session is an opportunity to explore your situation, discuss what has brought you here and consider what you hope to gain. We usually include a short, safe practice, adapted to your needs and abilities.

Following sessions focus on developing a personalised practice that can evolve over time.
This may include movement, breathing practices (pranayama), relaxation, meditation and practical ways of bringing the principles of yoga into everyday life.​

Sessions are usually spaced two to three weeks apart, allowing time to explore and integrate the practices between appointments.

Personalised Yoga Therapy

​Life can present us with many challenges: stress, anxiety, illness, injury, major life changes, or simply a sense that something is out of balance.
​
Yoga therapy offers a personalised approach that starts with understanding you as an individual. Through conversation, gentle movement, breathing practices, relaxation and other tools drawn from the yoga tradition, we explore ways to support your wellbeing and help you move towards greater ease, resilience and clarity.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs, circumstances and aspirations. Together, we develop practices that fit realistically into your life and support you between sessions. This may include movement, breathing practices, relaxation and lifestyle guidance.
No previous experience of yoga is required.

"Susan has been an excellent yoga teacher trainer.
Her calm and gentle manner was really helpful through the uncertain times. Her practical skills and vast knowledge of yoga, the human body and the mind have really been seen us through the yoga teacher training course.
Always on hand for helpand advice, and excellent feedback on classes taught. Susan is a very thorough and supportive yoga teacher."
 
Heidi Heslop
"I have known Susan for about one year. I have found her to be a person of great integrity and her commitment to her chosen path of Yoga is unquestionable.  She is patient and very kind
and I find her to be a good teacher of this very
under-rated practice. I shall be very glad to recommend Susan for any post which could utilise her considerable ability for teaching this subject, and she would give it her all."
