Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy is a complimentary and holistic approach to self healing. I work with you to identify your goals, what is currently working for you and what aspects of Yoga Therapy may compliment your overall plan for health and wellness.

How Yoga Therapy Works
In Yoga Therapy, we are a team working towards your health and wellbeing. In order for Yoga Therapy to work for you, there needs to be an investment in yourself and your goals for this therapeutic practice. In our first meeting, we will discuss a number of topics that will help to build a full picture of where you are at now, and how I may assist you in your wellness journey. These topics include physical, energetic, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects. All information you provide is held in complete confidence. Along with our discussion, we will do a brief physical assessment to complete the initial appointment. From there, it is up to you to follow through on a plan that we will mutually agree upon.

I provide you with the support, options and tools to your personalised plan. This plan may involve one or more aspects of yoga. For example, asana (postures), pranayama (breath awareness and techniques), mudra (gestures), mantra (statements), relaxation or meditation practices. I also work with any existing care providers you may already be seeing: GP, specialist and allied health practitioners. Yoga Therapy is intended to compliment your current care plan.

Who is Yoga Therapy For?
While the concept of Yoga Therapy feels relatively new to Australia, it is based on the foundations and history of yoga and supported by modern scientific research. Scientific studies have shown up to 117 health conditions have been helped by yoga (McCall 2019).

“If you are unsure about trying Yoga Therapy, then Sare is the therapist for you! Her professional and empathetic approach made me feel safe and confident. I really appreciated her focus on getting to know me and my medical history, before tailoring a specific program. She is skilled at explaining how and why various techniques are used, and the impact they are likely to have on both mind and body. Her personalised instructions meant I was able to successfully continue my practice at home."
