Yoga therapy has become an integral part of my life. It is now my career but over the years it has been a great help and support when dealing with my own personal health issues. It has helped me navigate my way through emotional and life crises. My continued practice is something I know I can rely on to keep me moving, calm me down, and provide rest and space to help me deal more positively and effectively with whatever issues life throws in my way. - A Long-term Student

“You start by following the instructions and copying the moves or the postures. It is all about the ‘doing’ and getting your body into the specific positions. Over time, with regular repetition, much correction and support, you begin to understand how the body works. Your experiences help you to feel the postures more and work more instinctively through the practice. There is less effort and the body can relax, release and let go into the postures more easily.
You are not as consciously aware of ‘doing’ the postures but more able to feel and experience them.“ - Carl

About Olivia

A perpetual student, I am always learning new things about the body, how it works and how yoga therapy practices can be used to improve it.

‘Listen to your body’ has been a constant mantra for me from the very first yoga class I attended.  I would still say it is the single most important instruction I use with all my students and continue to use in my own personal practices.
