A practice for coming home to your body
Celeste is a one-to-one yoga therapy practice for people navigating chronic pain, anxiety, or the long aftermath of carrying too much for too long. We work slowly, in conversation with what your body is actually saying.

Most people who finish the six-session Foundations book a second package. The practice gets deeper the longer you stay with it.
Less doing, more arriving.
Celeste isn’t a yoga app or a streaming library. It’s a quiet, sustained relationship with one practitioner over a fixed number of sessions, in service of your specific body.
How the practice works
Built for the body that brought you here.
Each session is shaped around how you arrive that day — what your sleep was like, where you’re holding tension, what showed up since last week. The practice meets you where you actually are.
One practice, six threads
Pranayama, asana, yoga nidra, meditation, anatomy, philosophy — integrated, never bolted on.
Care that follows you home
Between-session check-in by message. Your practice sequence sent in writing. Most clients have a sustainable home practice by week three.

Six things the practice
holds for you.
Yoga therapy is yoga that pays attention. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
One-to-one assessment
Each new client begins with a 75-minute sit-down. Movement history, what your body's saying right now, what you're hoping for.
Trauma-informed throughout
Trained in trauma-sensitive yoga. Pacing, choice, and the option to opt out are non-negotiable, every session.
Anatomy-led movement
Sequences are built around how your specific body is structured today, not a generic shape we're trying to make you fit.
Take-home practice
Each session ends with a short sequence you take with you. Eight minutes a day, sustainable across a busy week.
In person or online
Sydney studio sessions are 75 minutes. Online sessions via Zoom are 60 minutes. Same depth either way.
Postgraduate training
IAYT-certified yoga therapist with ongoing supervision. Evidence-based scope, conservative referrals when needed.
The practice draws on six threads
Yoga therapy isn’t one thing. Pranayama, asana, yoga nidra, meditation, anatomy, philosophy — quietly integrated, tuned to what your body and life need today.
Clients in their own words
4.9Foundations
4.9“After two years of grief I came in barely able to make eye contact. The pacing — the constant choice, the not being told what to feel — was the first thing that didn’t feel like more pressure.”
Carla Vu
Twelve-session client4.9“I’d been to physio for the same hip thing for four years. This was the first time someone asked what was happening in my breath when I felt it. Different question, different answer.”

4.9“I’d written off yoga. The 1:1 format and the way movement is explained — it changed my mind. I now refer my own clients here for the bodywork I can’t do.”

We’re here to assist!
A yoga class is a sequence run for a group. Yoga therapy is a one-to-one practice built around your body and what’s happening in it today. Pace, shapes, breath instructions — all of it is for you, not the room.
Probably yes. Yoga therapy was designed for exactly this. The intake is thorough and pacing is conservative. If something comes up that’s outside my scope, I’ll refer you to someone trained in it — physio, psychotherapy, pelvic floor — before we keep working.
Both. Sydney studio sessions are 75 minutes. Online sessions are 60 minutes via Zoom. The depth is the same; some people prefer the home environment so they can sink straight into rest after.
Some Australian private health funds cover yoga therapy as a complementary therapy — check with your provider. I can issue a receipt with my IAYT registration number for your claim.
We talk for ten minutes about how the week’s been — sleep, energy, where you’ve been holding tension. Then 50 minutes of movement, breath, and rest in some combination depending on what you need. We finish with a short take-home sequence and a few minutes to write down what you noticed.
