Yoga Sessions

I developed an interest in yoga for relaxation and to relieve back pain and shoulder stiffness. This led me to become a yoga teacher and once I began teaching, I saw that many people came to yoga looking for help with underlying injuries. It was a desire to be able to help them further that led me to train as a Physiotherapist. For some people, yoga can be a way of staying injury free by maintaining strength and flexibility.

Yoga for Back Pain

The May 2009 National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines for low back pain found that "yoga was more effective than a self-care book for improving function and reducing chronic low back pain and the benefits persisted for at least several months." http://www.nice.org.uk
