I offer specialised yoga sessions for adults, teens or seniors. In each session, I share practices and techniques to encourage improvement in quality of life, and provide hope and possibility for living a better life. I teach individually or in groups at yoga studios, corporate environment, community centres or at your home. I also offer online sessions on Zoom or Skype, making yoga accessible at your own preferred place.
Each session is unique and tailored to your needs
according to your physical and psychological capacity on the actual day. Sessions may be a combination of physical exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness, meditation and guided relaxation. Sessions may include movement ranging from gentle to vigorous and physical postures.
The effects of burnout are exhausting, leaving people at a vulnerable state. Evidence supports the efficacy of yoga to improve levels of emotional, mental and physical health in Burnout (PubMed). Working with mindfulness and self-awareness, yoga can be a great tool to provide you with strength to cope with negative thoughts and help you to reduce emotional exhaustion, anxiety and stress. Yoga can support you to develop awareness of how certain behaviours impact your mood and the way you cope with stress. It allows you to feel more in control and progressively challenge feelings that could prevent your improvement. Through movement, restorative poses, breathing techniques, guided relaxation, yoga practice allows you to use your body to influence the mind and promote wellbeing.
