Yoga Therapy by Elle

Elle is a Yoga Therapist who will continue her studies in Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy with The Minded Institute, UK, throughout 2024/2025.

Yoga therapy differs from a general yoga class in that we are highly trained in assessing clients via a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model and approach treatment in a salutogenic way to promote self-agency.  Yoga therapy is the professional application of principles and tools of yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, and lifestyle recommendations inspired by Ayurveda to the whole person with an evidence-based focus on guiding the client towards eudaimonic wellbeing.  Yoga therapy can address a range of concerns such as persistent pain and fatigue conditions, neurological issues, mental health difficulties, life-limiting illness support, and healthy ageing.  It may also be considered an existential therapy, using philosophical concepts to help people explore and create meaning in their lives and develop self-agency with decision-making at times of uncertainty or change.  It is an adaptable and collaborative therapeutic intervention that is wide-reaching and supportive of many complex issues.
