One to one Chair Yoga Therapy
A personalised, therapeutic chair yoga practice that can significantly enhance quality of life
Bespoke individual yoga therapy sessions tailored to meet the specific physical, mental, and emotional needs of each client, ensuring that the practice is safe and effective. I work with each client (plus family/health team if needed) to set specific health goals such as improving mobility, managing pain, or reducing anxiety, co-creating sessions to help achieve these outcomes with a view to enhancing quality of life.
