Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga is a deeply soothing practice tailored to your specific needs. It may include:
- gentle movement ( standing, seated or reclined)
- fascia work
- lymphatic work
- breathwork
- mindfulness and meditation
- energy work and visualization
Each practice will support you in reconnecting with your body, nourishing it and allowing it deep rest that it needs. Depending on what is best for you, we will use a variety of props to support restorative poses. You might need a few large towels or blankets and pillows for this practice.
Therapeutic yoga can be beneficial in preparation for surgery or in recovery. Please get in touch and discuss your situation to see if I can support you.
Therapeutic yoga is NOT a substitute for medical intervention and treatment.
Meditations
Meditation is beneficial for brain health, emotion regulation and stress reduction.
I am trained in guided meditation, mantra meditation, breath focused meditations as well as Yoga Nidra.
Meditation generally:
- supportsemotion regulation
- reduces stress
- supports brain health
- enhances quality of sleep
When booking private meditation sessions, I will first ask you questions as to what your aim is and what kind of meditation you wish to receive. We will also talk about what images you are comfortable with and which ones to avoid.
All meditations are written by myself. I do not read scripts by others.
You are welcome to contact to me about bespoke meditations or a 1-2-1 on how to set up your very own meditation practice.

“I am so relaxed after yoga class that I sleep really well. Sometimes, it even lasts for another day or two.”

"Astrid led a lovely Cacao ceremony session for a small group of us. It was a lovely experience, that was multi sensory - the rich chocolate smell and taste, with movement and meditation. This really brought on a spiritual sense of connectedness and calm. Thank you Astrid x"
