Yoga sequences for athletes created in the context of the sport you do. This 6 week course addresses imbalances, dysfunctions or compensations which may have arisen in your mind-body. It involves the instruction of functional movement - targetting strength and flexibility and teaching meditation and breathing techniques.

We discuss what type of service you are looking for.  Here, I can run through the services I offer and what might be beneficial to you in the context of your existing lifestyle and commitments, likes and dislikes. An Ayurvedic Mind-Body Assessment You may decide to have a one off session maybe simply to understand your mind-body composition (dosha) or you may wish to create an Ayurvedic lifestyle for yourself, incorporating new practices into your  daily routine when it suits you and according to which areas need attention. ​One or more Ayurvedic Lifestyle Sessions Maybe you are ready to overhaul your health and wellbeing fully in a five-week personalised programme or just want to tackle one specific area of it. An Ayurvedic lifestyle approach to health and well-being addresses six key pillars of health: sleep, meditation, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, nutrition and self care. Life Coaching Life coaching sessions allow you to find your purpose, set intentions, find meanings and explore the side of you which may prevent you from flourishing.  It can take you from a place of restriction to expansion, allowing you to live your life to its fullest. Yoga Classes Perhaps you want to take a yoga class with me on a regular basis or would like me to devise a yoga-inspired functional movement programme to help you with your chosen sport.  Maybe you wish to have yoga in your school or your teenager learn some well needed life coping skills and strategies. 

This consultation gives us time to see if we are a good fit for each other and to establish what exactly it is you are looking for from coaching.    In our discussions, I  run through the services I offer. You may wish to be coached towards discovering your soul purpose and find meaning in your life releasing self limiting beliefs. You may have specific health and wellness goals such as feeling more in control and less stressed. You may be feeling unhappy with life at the moment and wish to improve your emotional well-being but are not sure how to go about making yourself feel happier. Perhaps you would like to put in place some nourishing self care practices you can incorporate into your existing busy life.  Maybe your sleep schedule or nutrition is off key and weight gain or lethargy is an issue and you need to get back on track. How about establishing a yoga practice or learning to find inner peace with some meditation.  Whatever it is, we can co-create a plan of your needs and look at what will be beneficial to you in the context of your existing lifestyle and commitments, likes and dislikes, intentions and goals and timescale and resources which are available to you. You will take a couple of assessments. One to determine your innate mind-body composition and another to understand your current state of health which will flag up any imbalances you are currently experiencing. In follow up sessions we go deeper through the results, looking specifically at using coaching tools, Ayurvedic lifestyle practices and yoga practices relevant to you to help you move towards optimal health and happiness. Please note: If you decide to use my services the consultation it will be included in the 'Ojas' 10 week life coaching programme. Please note: If you choose not to have me as your coach (or I decide you may be best served by a different type of coach, depending upon your needs), I will refund you 50% so you will only be paying for the Ayurvedic mind-body composition component of the consultation.
