A Functional Approach

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are just a few of the most commonly asked questions about yoga and what it can do for you
If you have any question about the programme, style of yoga or my approach, experience and qualifications, please ask away. I’ll be more than glad to clarify your doubts so you can make a fully informed choice and get the best out of the programme
Are the activities suitable for me as a beginner?
Certainly. Yoga can be easy or demanding, gentle or strong, depending on your abilities, your needs, and also your preferences
A major theme in yoga is right effort: yoga takes the middle path using a gentle but sustained level of effort which absolutely anyone can do. This fortifies your body without creating tension or strain
What are the advantages of private yoga classes?
Group classes are a great way to get fit, stay healthy and work with issues like stress reduction or elevated blood pressure. Pain, however, changes everything
When there is pain private yoga classes offer you the best in safety and effectiveness
Working with pain needs adequate examination, diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan that respects your symptoms and supports healing and repair
When you’ve worked through the pain a group yoga class is a great environment for continuing to improve your physical and mental resilience
Group classes are kept to 6 people max so you still get a top level of support
Is yoga likely to aggravate my pain?
Though nothing is 100% risk free, studies have consistently shown yoga to be extremely safe
Yoga has a very low risk of adverse effects, with serious reactions being extremely rare
While experiencing pain working under the guidance of a qualified therapist is an imperative
One-to-one we can set up a yoga programme that allows you to work safely within your limits and abilities towards your personal objectives
How does feeling stressed impact my health?
Stress is one of the top predictors for injury
Perceiving something as stressful stimulates a flight-flight cascade to up-regulate your blood pressure, inflammation, pain sensitivity and many other vital functions
A healthy response is for your body to return to a baseline of rest and repair
Persistent arousal maintains inflammation with consequences ranging from blood vessel damage to tissue injury, anxiety and fatigue
Yoga helps you better cope with stressful events to reduce arousal, calm anxiety to let your body rest, reset and repair
How is yoga different from physical therapy?
While there is some overlap between the two there are also important fundamental differences
Physical therapy works to improve mechanical function such as muscle tone, stability, mobility and alignment for your fitness and wellbeing
Yoga is a mindfulness-based body therapy with a focus on mind-body connectivity and stress reduction for your physical and mental health
Working together yoga and physical therapy embrace the mind-body spectrum to provide you with a sound base for healthy function
What are mindfulness and meditation?
The nature of the mind is to think. While the mind will not be emptied, it can be filled. This is mindfulness
At its simplest mindfulness is paying attention
Yoga practice invites you to pay attention, just as you do when driving, reading, or enjoying a beautiful view
All mental and physical effort in yoga is gentle. This is key to avoiding tension
By becoming more aware of your movement and thinking habits, mindful attention offers you a way to free your body from tension and improve your resilience to stress
Can I practice yoga if I'm not very flexible?
Absolutely! Yoga is about balance
If your body is stiff you’ll benefit from improving your mobility
If you’re naturally supple balance may come from developing muscular tone and support
Yoga is about you, what you want to achieve, and how you want to practice
Private yoga classes offer you the best environment to address your imbalances and achieve harmony
