Frequently asked questions
breathing & yoga therapy
If you...
- Would like to improve the way you breathe?
- Are curious about breathwork and want to learn more?
- Would like to establish a regular breathing practice?
- Are you having a difficult time with your meditation practice (yoga and breathing can be the bridge to establishing a meditation practice)
- A breathing class can offer tools to address any mental or physical conditions you might be suffering from.
No! Sitting is often one of the obstacles that stops people taking a breathing class, but we breathe in different positions, and if you are not comfortable you can change position at any time.
No, they are not the same thing. Breathing is a stepping stone to meditation that has some similar positive outcomes and side effects. If you have a hard time meditating – start with breathwork! Breathing techniques work faster. Some people find it easier to shift from a negative dull state using breathing exercises than with meditation. Breathing techniques bring you back from an anxious state to calm in a shorter time than purely meditation.
For the following reasons amonst others:
• Are you interested to try yoga, but not comfortable going to a group class? A private class is wonderful way to learn the fundamental postures, and establish a general understanding of yoga, breathing and alignment.
• Do you go regularly to a studio and might be stuck in a particular pose, need modifications for certain postures, or have unanswered questions?
• Would like to have a home practice tailored to your needs?
• Do you have an established practice and are looking for support, guidance and advice?
• Do you lack motivation to practice alone, and are not sure you are doing it right?
... If you answer yes to any of these a private class is just right for you
The training a yoga therapist gets is very different from a yoga teacher.
A yoga therapist receives a more indepth training of working one to one to help side effects of mental and physical conditions one might be suffering with.
It is a process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga.
Yes, I do! but only to some people. There is so much to learn, and so many fun things to discover about the breath, and that’s where we start.
