Therapeutic Yoga
Slow, precise, unglamorous work for injury, chronic tension and the postural habits of a life spent sitting down.
There is very little to photograph in a therapeutic class. One person is on their side with a bolster under a knee for eleven minutes. Another is doing something almost invisible with a shoulder blade. The room is unhurried to the point of stubbornness.
Sessions begin with a conversation — what hurts, when, and what you have already tried — and are built from there. Props do most of the work: belts, blocks, bolsters, walls, and the occasional hammock used purely for traction.
Progress is measured in ordinary things. Sleeping on that side again. Picking a child up without bracing. Sitting through a flight.
“Nothing here is a cure. It is a conversation with a body that has been shouting for a while and would settle for being listened to.”
In the practice.
- How a session runs
- An intake conversation, assessment of the pattern rather than the pain point, then a sequence you can repeat at home in fifteen minutes.
- Who it suits
- Injury recovery, chronic pain, hypermobility, pregnancy and postnatal return, and anyone told to 'just stretch more'.
- What to bring
- Any diagnosis, scan or physiotherapy notes you have. Clothing you can be seen moving in.
Good to know.
- Groups are capped at six so each person can be adapted for individually.
- One-to-one sessions can be booked on request.
- We are teachers, not medical practitioners, and we work alongside your clinician rather than instead of them.
