Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is a multidimensional, evidence-based and holistic approach to improving health, utilising the many tools of yoga and the wisdom of Ayurveda. Current medical research recognises Yoga Therapy as being among the most effective complementary therapies for improving many common health conditions.

Yoga therapy can be useful for a wide range of health concerns and is particularly beneficial in managing and improving chronic health concerns such as chronic stress, fatigue, fibromyalgia, sleep issues, back pain, etc. It is complementary to mainstream healthcare, and depending on the health issue it may be effective as a therapy in it’s self.

How do Yoga Therapy Sessions Work?

Private yoga therapy sessions with Barbara are specifically tailored to meet your needs and your health goals.

To help you progress towards these goals, Barbara will provide you with simple programs that will easily blend into your daily life. Dependent on your situation, she may also provide easy to follow lifestyle and dietary advice.

Investing in yourself is one of the most important things you can do to create lasting health and contentment! Therefore, Barbara recommends a minimum of six sessions, over a 9 week period, to encourage optimal progress towards a healthy body and calm mind.

 Step 1: Attend an initial consultation of 90 minutes during which Barbara listens to your health concerns and desired outcome. During this session, Barbara will also assess your current abilities in regard to movement and breathing. You will be provided with some very simple practices to begin working with at home until we meet for your second session.

Step 2: Following your first session, Barbara will design a program specifically tailored to your needs. During your second session, Barbara will lead you through the practice to ensure you understand the movements and breathing included in your program and give you practical advice for commencing the program at home.

Steps 3: During this practice review session, we check that the program is blending seamlessly into your life and make adjustments, as necessary, to timing etc. We also review movements to check that you are understanding the methodology and provide further instruction as necessary.

Steps 4-6: Three further fortnightly follow up sessions where we review your progress and fine-tune your home program to ensure that it remains current and continues to meet your needs.

Further follow-up sessions are available as and when required. Although over the previous six weeks you will have settled into a workable home program, many of Barbara’s students like to come once every six weeks or so to continue reviewing and developing their practice.

All sessions are conducted at Barbara’s home studio in Grey Lynn, Auckland. Sessions can also be attended online via Zoom.
