Physiotherapy for Yoga Practitioners
An exploration of movement — on and off the mat.
I’m a Physiotherapist and Yoga Teacher, supporting yoga practitioners who want to understand and develop their practice through a physiotherapy-informed approach.
It’s not about chasing the perfect pose. It’s about giving yourself the space to explore how your body moves, deepen your understanding of your own mechanics, and engage in personalised strength and flexibility work.
This programme is for yoga practitioners who:
Struggle with flexibility or strength in specific asana
Want tools to explore postures more deeply from an anatomy perspective, including:
Forward folds
Wide-legged forward folds
Backbends
Hip opening
It’s also suitable for newer practitioners from sports backgrounds – where tight hamstrings or limited flexibility make yoga feel especially demanding
- Experience discomfort or movement restriction within their yoga practice.
👉 If you are experiencing joint pain or persistent pain during yoga practice, please choose a Physiotherapy session

Final notes to support you in the process:
- Show up with curiosity — you don’t need to be “ready” or “flexible enough”
- Do the short home practices — just 20 minutes, twice a week, can create meaningful change
- Share what you notice — all feedback is valuable, and helps shape your plan
Sutra 1.14 – Consistency
Stay steady with presence, patience and gentle persistence
