1-TO-1 GUIDANCE

If this sounds like you...

You don’t feel quite as well as you used to.

You have less energy. Your body is stiffer, or something has started to bother you. Perhaps you are not sleeping as well, feel under more pressure or find it harder to unwind.

You know something needs to change.

Perhaps you have tried various things. Started exercising, intended to take better care of yourself or decided to make an effort - but somehow it doesn’t stick.

And perhaps you don’t even know exactly what you need.

That’s all right. We can start there.

—— START WHERE YOU ARE

THE BEGINNING

What would you like help with?

01

Stress, anxiety and burnout

You are under too much pressure, find it hard to unwind or feel that your system has simply become tired.

02

04

Pain, stiffness and discomfort

Your back, neck, shoulders, hips or body in general have started to limit you or call for more attention.

06

Better sleep and recovery

You find it difficult to fall asleep, sleep poorly or wake without feeling truly rested.

Stillness and peace of mind

You want to slow down, find greater inner peace and create more space in your mind and body.

You don’t have to choose just one. These things are often connected.

03

05

07

More energy and stamina

You want to wake with more energy, have more left as the day goes on and gradually build up your body.

Breathing

You want to improve how you breathe and use your breath to influence your energy, calm, concentration and wellbeing.

A deeper personal practice

You already have experience of yoga, meditation or another practice and want to understand more clearly what you are doing and where you can go next.

People come to us for very different reasons.

You don’t need to know what you need to do. Simply start with what you feel - or what you would like to change.

You don’t need to have a clear goal

THE RIGHT START

Most people come with something specific that has been bothering them.

But that doesn’t mean they know what they need.

We begin by listening, looking at your situation and understanding what has been going on - sometimes for a few weeks, sometimes for many years.

Then we find a starting point.

It can be very simple.

A little breathing A few movements Ten minutes

What matters is not doing a lot.

What matters is starting in the right place.

Personal attention. We start with what you bring.

PERSONAL GUIDANCE

What is different about 1-to-1?

In a group class, you follow the teaching.

In 1-to-1, the teaching follows you.

We see how you move and breathe. We can adapt the practice to your body, health, energy, age, experience and what is happening in your life.

And we can change it as you change.

This is exactly what makes 1-to-1 a very different process from simply attending a class.

The guidance is shaped by the person.

  • We use the tools that suit you at each stage.

    • simple, focused movement

    • breathing training

    • deep relaxation and recovery

    • meditation and attention

    • a personal practice to work on at home

    • education and understanding of what we are working with

    We don’t need to use everything. We use what serves you.

  • Less than you think.

    We are not trying to squeeze an hour of yoga into a life that is already too busy.

    For some, short practices throughout the day work well - even ten minutes at a time. For others, a twenty-minute practice a few times a week is a better fit.

    We find a rhythm your body can manage and that can truly become part of your life.

  • Yes. In fact, 1-to-1 can make a significant difference for people who have practised yoga for years.

    There is a big difference between following a group class and having a teacher who looks specifically at your practice.

    What are you actually doing? What could be done differently? What does your body need now that it may not have needed ten or twenty years ago?

    Sometimes the biggest change is not learning more. It is understanding more clearly.

THE WHOLE PERSON

A person is more than a body

We can start with back pain. Or sleep. Or breathing.

But a person is more than the problem they bring.

In yoga, a person is described through five koshas - five layers or dimensions of the person..

The body

Movement, strength, flexibility and physical wellbeing.

Breath and energy

How you breathe, use your energy and respond to stress.

The mind

Thoughts, emotions, stress and attention.

Deeper understanding

Seeing your patterns more clearly and understanding what supports you.

Inner balance

Greater stillness, connection and feeling more at home in yourself.

We start with what you bring. But we work with the whole person.

1-to-1 also asks something of you

WORKING TOGETHER

Not peak fitness Not being “good at yoga” Not perfect discipline

This is not something we do to you.

We can guide, teach, adapt and help you see what you may not see for yourself.

But change comes from working together.

But you need to be willing to take part.

NEXT STEPS

How do we begin?

Start with a conversation.

In a free 30-minute Zoom consultation, you tell us a little about where you are, what has been bothering you and what you would most like to change.

You don’t need to have the answer. Part of our job is to help you find the next step.

If we think 1-to-1 can help you, we explain how we would begin. If we think something else would suit you better, we tell you that too.
