Your path to optimal health
Mobility & Recovery
Movement is medicine
Who is this for
Yoga therapy may be helpful if you experience persistent or recurring pain, restricted movement, balance or mobility issues, postural problems, or repeated injuries. It may be particularly useful for desk workers, people returning to activity after injury, and older adults wanting to stay active and capable. If strengthening exercises haven’t solved the problem, exploring how you move may be the missing piece.
Why movement patterns matter
This is habitual. Adding strengthening exercises into an existing habit tends to only strengthen muscles that are already dominant, often making the pain or dysfunction worse. If a movement practice feels right for you, you’ll receive an individualised practice plan detailing the specific movements and intentions that can help you regain function and move in a way that allows you to maintain or return to the things you love to do.
Learning to move in a different way can resolve pain, increase mobility and create stability through the joints, muscles, fascia, and structures that support day to day, functional movement and the activities we love, and need to do. Here strength comes through softening into inherent neuromuscular patterns that we each have as part of our structural and functional blueprint.

Frequently Asked questions
How is yoga therapy different from a regular yoga class?
Yoga therapy is one-on-one and built entirely around your body, your movement history and your specific concerns. Unlike a group class, there's no fixed sequence to follow. Sessions are guided by assessment and adapted as you progress, with the goal of changing how you move in daily life, not just during practice.
Do I need to be flexible or physically fit to start yoga therapy?
No and this is one of the most common misconceptions. Yoga therapy doesn't require any existing flexibility or fitness level. It starts where you are, working with your current range of movement and building from there. Many people come specifically because other movement approaches haven't worked for them.
How many yoga therapy sessions will I need before I notice a difference?
This varies depending on how long a pattern has been established and how consistently you practise between sessions. Most people notice some shift within 4 - 6 sessions, though lasting change in habitual movement patterns typically takes longer. You'll receive a home practice to support the work between appointments.
Can yoga therapy help with long-term or chronic pain?
Yes. Chronic pain often involves ingrained movement compensations that reinforce the problem. Yoga therapy works to identify and gently interrupt these patterns, helping the nervous system find easier, less painful ways of moving. It can be particularly useful when pain has persisted despite other treatments.
How is yoga therapy different from physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy typically focuses on diagnosing and treating specific injuries or conditions, often through targeted exercises and manual therapy. Yoga therapy takes a broader view looking at whole-body movement patterns, breathing and nervous system responses. The two approaches can complement each other well, and some people work with both.
