Yoga was recently recommended by both my GP and psychotherapist as I struggle with my mental health and hold much in my body resulting in physical aches and pains and stiffness, poor sleep, low energy, anxiety and depression.
After many years without regular yoga practice and zero confidence in my physical ability, I was apprehensive about joining a yoga group so having an initial one-to-one was suggested.
Despite being very anxious before my first session I quickly felt comfortable working with Sara and I continue to find her easy to talk to, empathic, trustworthy and very supportive.
The benefits were immediate after that first session - a feeling of all round wellness and a better night’s sleep! As if I had ‘let go’ …
Each session is geared around what I need on a particular day; sometimes grounding and relaxing, often calming and frequently energising.
During a session we do a combination of yoga movements, mindfulness and relaxation with each being adapted to my specific needs.
Getting movement back into my body has greatly reduced my aches and pains, increased my flexibility and improved how I handle moments of overwhelm - easily accessing breathing exercises for example.
I have also tried group yoga but for now the adaptiveness of a 1:1 every few weeks is more beneficial for me.
Can’t believe how much yoga has helped me on so many levels,
thank you Sara 😊
