Yoga

It might seem strange that my journey is ending where many start theirs, but Yoga has come to me after all my other studies.

I started studying Yoga at the beginning of 2023, so I’m far from the standard Yoga teacher authority on the subject. However the eight paths of Yoga slip neatly into the frameworks of the other things I have studied, or maybe more correctly they fall into Yoga’s. I was surprised to learn that Yoga means ‘to join’ and has more in common with Reiki than I thought. It may also be argued from the migration of humans on earth that Tui Na and Toyohari Meridian Therapy and merely extensions of the foundations that Yoga laid. Most surprising of all during my degree studies in Myotherapy was to find that mindful movement quality serves as both prevention and treatment for musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

So, what does that mean for you when you come to my clinic? We are probably not going to do group Asana poses. Rather I from a Myotherapists perspective utilise Yoga in principle or application as a means to explore mindful and connected movement to relieve pain or improve quality of movement in either a physical or cognitive sense.
