About Clinical Yoga
Yoga is an ancient practice/philosophical system that originates from India aimed at stilling the ‘perturbations’ of the mind so one can think and act more clearly. It traditionally involves a combination of asana (postures), pranayama (breath control/extension), and meditation aimed at cultivating physical and mental clarity and wellbeing.
From its origins in early civilization on the Indian subcontinent and its long path over the last four thousand years through India, East Asia and now in many studios and homes in the West, Yoga has seen many vast changes and yet maintained a central pragmatic intent of understanding and relieving disease/suffering in the human condition. Consequently, Yoga is perfectly placed as a holistic method of physical therapy that can address all aspects of a person (mental, emotional, physical etc) to best assist them in overcoming injury, stress and optimise performance and overall physical wellbeing.

What to Expect
Physiotherapists help you get the most out of life. They help you recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, increase strength, mobility and prevent further injury. They listen to your needs to tailor a treatment specific to your condition. Yoga based Physiotherapy is not much different to regular Physio, in that its individualised, focused on reducing/resolving unwanted symptoms and improving overall functionality and quality of life.
What can you expect from a Clinical Yoga Therapy session?
- Thorough and comprehensive physical assessment and discussion regarding your injury/health history and personal goals
- One on one personalised education and instruction to develop your own Yoga practice
- A physical posture practice to develop strength, mobility and mindfulness skills
- Relevant breathing and mindfulness exercises to assist in regulating nervous system tension, stress and pain
- Semi-Private Clinical Yoga Sessions
Group Classes
We also offer small group Yoga sessions of 5 people maximum per group, where each person is guided through their independent sequence under the guidance of our Clinical Yoga Physiotherapist Oliver. These classes aim to provide the opportunity for ongoing guidance and instruction following initial or follow up one-on-one Yoga sessions.
Sessions
Each session is one hour in length and private health rebateable. Please contact our reception for bookings.
