Yoga Therapy

Over the last few decades, the ancient practice of yoga has become an increasingly popular form of exercise in the Western world. Having completed her training as a qualified Yoga instructor and combining this with her years of physiotherapy clinical expertise, Michelle Pardy is in the perfect position to introduce you into Yoga Therapy.

Yoga Therapy is a gentle form of yoga, focusing on the awareness of breath, mind and body. The classes are designed to assist in the rehabilitation of and prevention of injury, as well as providing an overall sense of wellbeing.

The combination of physiotherapy and yoga, allows Michelle to make individual modifications to your yoga program based on your condition and specifically tailored to your needs. This is the safest form of yoga for anybody recovering from an injury and is a unique method of rehabilitation that will also help address any stress and anxiety that can be associated with chronic pain conditions.

Yoga has become a preferred form of exercise for many patients suffering from back pain or recovering from an injury; its attraction often lies in the individual nature of the practice and the opportunity for modifications. Besides helping to alleviate pain, a regular yoga practice can also help restore mobility and work to prevent future injury.

Michelle's style of Yoga Therapy is grounded in three main components: body posture, breathing, and body awareness. When it comes to back pain or injury, finding poses that don't cause any excess pain is essential to developing a safe and effective practice. Once the fundamental movements have been established, the physical benefits abound. Some of these benefits include:

Strengthening of targeted muscle groups

Stretching and relaxation.

Posture and balance.

Body awareness.
