The practice
What this practice offers.
And what it doesn’t.
Yoga therapy isn’t a yoga class, a streaming app, or a quick fix. Here’s what it actually is — the four threads that hold every session, and what they look like in real time.

Most people who finish the six-session Foundations book a second package. The practice gets deeper the longer you stay with it.
What changes after six sessions.
Less reactive, more rested
Most clients notice a different baseline within the first month — fewer 3am wake-ups, less jaw clenching, longer breaths between sentences. Small things, repeated, compound.
A practice that fits your week
By session three you have a take-home sequence that’s eight minutes long and lives in your body. By the end of Foundations, doing it is just what you do in the morning.
Care, not a prescription
The practice flexes around what your week brought. We don’t push toward a goal — we stay in conversation with what your body is actually asking for.
Four threads that hold every session.
The practice integrates these four. Click through to see what each one looks like in real time.
How every relationship begins
75 minutes to map what’s actually here
We sit down with movement history, what your sleep’s been like, where you’re holding tension, what you’re hoping for. Conservative scope-of-practice questions. By the end we have a working hypothesis and the shape of the next six sessions.
Clients in their own words

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.”

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.
