What to expect from a private yoga session with me?

My trauma-informed approach can help make it possible to explore a supportive movement and/or meditation practice at a manageable pace that supports your nervous system to reclaim a sense of resilience, regulation and safety, over time.

Whether you are living with traumatic stress or not, I believe that everyone can benefit from a trauma informed, somatically-oriented approach to movement and mindfulness

While clients sometimes experience emotional release, and I’m equipped to hold space for that, the intention of these sessions is not to provide trauma therapy which is outside my scope.

A session might include some or all of the following:

• Checking in, assessing energy, body issues and picking some music

• Arriving, grounding and orienting to the space

• Gentle warm-up and breathing practice

• A series of movements and postures that support you as you are that day

• Meditation or guided visualisation

• Rest
