Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy is a deeply personalised approach to health and well-being, grounded in the principles and practices of yoga. I take a holistic perspective, addressing not only the physical but also the mental and emotional dimensions of your being, with the objective of reducing stress and nurturing greater mental and physical vitality.

In our 75 to 90-minute weekly sessions, I tailor the experience to the unique needs of each individual. Following an in-depth initial consultation, I craft a personalised home practice designed to target the specific priorities and concerns of the client.

A key aspect of Yoga therapy is nervous system regulation. By offering a series of techniques such as breathing practices, movement, meditation and visualisation, we can send messages from the body to the brain to calm down and return to a state of equilibrium.

My overarching aim is to restore harmony and balance throughout your entire system. This involves not only addressing existing health conditions that may be causing pain and discomfort but also nurturing your overall health and fostering a sense of inner peace.

Testimonials

Lisa Gordon
Practising yoga with Paula and benefitting from yoga therapy has literally changed my life for the better! I look forward to every session, however tired I am, and I plan to stick with my yoga therapy into old age. The sessions have focused on three main areas so far: lower back pain, shoulder injury and knee/lower leg pain. In particular I have developed strength in my shoulder (post-surgery) so that I can now complete consecutive one-minute planks; alleviated lower back, knee and leg pain. The other major benefit of yoga has been the positive impact on my mental health. I have a stressful job and the breathing techniques have enabled me to conquer and manage stress and anxiety to such a considerable extent that it has been noticed and commented on by friends and family.

I cannot praise Paula enough, the way in which she teaches is excellent! Her instructions are clear, informative and calming, we also manage to have fun! She has helped me in improving my sleep, which has had a significantly positive response with my health and wellbeing. I can’t believe I can now sleep through the night! The breathing exercises and meditation have contributed vastly to my state of mind. I feel happier, more relaxed and rarely I get anxious.

I was enjoying and benefitting from attending Paula’s group yoga classes last year and heard she offered yoga therapy. I had a very bad skiing accident in January and was unable to do any yoga at first. Paula shared some really fantastic yoga chants and I found these very supportive. A few months later and I starting having one to one yoga therapy sessions with Paula. It was great to be starting a few yoga moves again. More than just yoga, Paula also provided a safe space for coming to terms with my injuries and made it fun at the same time. She provided me with some breathing exercises to help de-stress and keep me calm. She also provided me with some yoga flows – looking at celebrating the whole body and what it can do rather than just focussing on the injury. I have definitely seen some improvements in all these dimensions and would recommend Paula both as a yoga teacher and as a yoga therapist. Thanks Paula!
