Service offerings

My services offer gentle yoga that is accessible for beginners and diverse abilities. The practice involves slow, intentional physical movement and stretching (yoga postures / asanas), mindful breathing, and periods of rest or meditation. No prior yoga experience is necessary and practices can be modified to suit different abilities and health conditions.

  • Gentle yoga for older adults aimed to: - support optimal joint mobility
    - enhance balance & stability
    - build & maintain muscle strength
    - increase social connection within the community.

    8 week programs or ongoing weekly classes offered in community health centres, neighbourhood houses, or residential care homes across Melbourne.

  • Group classes in Melbourne offered in community health centres or neighbourhood houses, either chair-based or mat-based.

    For people living with health conditions, yoga can offer numerous benefits. These commonly include:
    - boosts mood
    - reduces chronic pain
    - improves posture and body awareness
    - decreases stress & anxiety
    - improves physical function and quality of life in adults with musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Sessions offered with a focus on trauma-informed principles to promote personal choice, agency, safety, and self-regulation.

    Classes aim to:

    • Reduce stress by lowering cortisol and activating the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous system

    • Increase interoceptive awareness (the ability to sense internal body states), supporting trauma-sensitive regulation by helping people safely reconnect with bodily sensations

    • Encourage mindfulness, reducing habitual reactivity and supporting intentional choice

    • Reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD

    • Improve sleep quality

    • Introduce skills to balance the autonomic nervous system

    • Enhance emotional regulation, attention, and overall psychological wellbeing.

  • This service creates a space for carers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their own needs.

    Sessions focus on gentle movements, breathing techniques, and relaxation practices that help reduce stress, release tension, and support overall physical and mental wellbeing.

    These sessions aim to enable participants to feel more grounded, rested, and better equipped to cope with daily challenges.

    60 minute classes offered in community organisations via weekly sessions.

When yoga is made accessible..

Practices are adaptable, with variations offered to support individual needs, preferences, and capacities. Participants are encouraged to engage in ways that feel comfortable for their own bodies, cultivating body awareness with a focus on internal experience rather than the external appearance.

Accessible yoga honours each person’s unique capacity and supports the development of self-trust and self-understanding throughout the practice.

Mindfulness practices within yoga help to cultivate a sense of inner strength and calm that individuals can carry into their families, workplaces, and communities.
