Yoga Therapy/ Private Yoga Session- Private practice for Individual Needs

There may be multiple reasons for seeking out a private yoga session and in fact this was the traditional way that yoga was originally taught from teacher to student one on one.

The most common way we see yoga practiced today is in a studio environment with many classes and styles of yoga to choose from. While this may be helpful in the way you can find support in a group, using this for motivation, or handing over to the teacher and be told what to do without having to think.

However there is a greater opportunity for progression and growth when you take a more personalised approach to yoga. Practicing on your own offers a unique opportunity to truly support the needs of your mind and body and progress at a pace that is suitable for you and your current needs.

Yoga Therapy is a holistic form of healing which utilises the entire spectrum of Yoga practices and the wisdom of Ayurveda to effect health and healing on an individual basis. Rather than only treating the specific health concern, yoga Therapy considers  the whole person who they are and how they are affected.

While yoga in general can be considered a therapeutic practice, the very nature of a group class is more directed to the group as a whole and may not be suitable for those presenting specific injuries or health concerns rather than the individuals needs.

Your Teacher Kim Allan is a Certified Registered Yoga Therapist and Senior Registered Svastha Yoga teacher with over 15 yrs experience and an Ayurvedic Consultant.

During your initial consultation Kim will be listening to your concerns, gaining insight into your current abilities around movement and breath and identifying your goals.

A Yoga Therapy Consultation is different to your regular Yoga class as it will be an individualized approach to suit your needs, abilities and take into account your current lifestyle and commitments. The session includes the use of Yogic principals and tools such as specific movements, breath, sound/mantra , meditation and mindfulness to assist you with achieving your goals.

From this Kim will design an easy to follow program for you to practice at home that will lead you in a progressive manner towards wellness.

Yoga therapy classes will help you understand and manage your body better. Yoga will improve your posture and breathing and help the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems function more smoothly – meaning you’ll suffer less physical pain and experience a better quality of life.

Follow up sessions are recommended for continued support and guidance. Yoga Therapy works well as a complimentary practice to other forms of treatment and compliments the Ayurvedic treatments/therapies we offer here at the centre or with your current health care provider.

Yoga Therapy can address a wide range of concerns such as:

  • Back, neck, shoulder and knee pain
  • Respiratory problems such as asthma
  • General health and fitness

Customer Testimonials:

“It is rare to find two people as genuinely committed to the yoga lifestyle as Scott and his wife Kim. In my consultation with Scott, I found him gentle, insightful, knowledgeable and compassionate” – Erin Dwyer, NSW (Yoga Journal Australia)

Scott and Kim have been helping me with some health and wellbeing issues for over a year. I tend to be anxious and sometimes depressed, both of which have been really challenging to manage and understand. I also have ongoing lower back problems which can interfere dramatically with my daily life. When I first had a consultation with Scott my main health complaint was constipation, which seemed to persist regardless of an organic diet with fibre, plenty of water and a lifestyle with good sleep and exercise habits.

Both Scott and Kim were highly compassionate from the start. With Kim’s support I now benefit from svastha yoga with its focus on calming the mind using the breath and mantra. Consultations with Scott have helped me to understand my constitution and how to eat to support it. I’ve really enjoyed Scott‘s cooking courses and have found it pretty easy to gradually incorporate more and more of the simple recipes into my routines. I now love my daily ginger tea, kichardi and chai tea and lots more. Scott has recommended herbs and daily routines to complement my new diet, and I am feeling a lot better all round. I’m finding the Ayurvedic diet cheaper than my previous diet – an important consideration for a lot of other people too.

Scott and Kim are so supportive and encouraging. I love that they don’t dilute their practice to suit Western expectations. The Centre is also a great place to meet like-minded friends. I am very grateful to have discovered Ayurveda and strongly recommend it to my friends (and anyone else)!” A, Buderim.

I noticed a slowing and calming in my interactions with my environment after walking out of this yoga practice. Kim introduced the mantras and breathing clearly, making the gentle movements easy to grasp

I highly recommend this to anyone - it is impossible not to get great physical and mental benefits from this Yoga. Kim is an extremely calm and nurturing person who makes everyone feel comfortable and creates a wonderful energy

Kim is the best Yoga teacher Iver ever had. This intensive was fantastic and it made a big difference to my week. The focus on breathing really helped me in my practice, especially when I do Yoga at home, and it helps me deal with stress better. I can already sit longer to meditate without feeling uncomfortable. Thanks Kim.

I completed one of the Yoga courses a great experience I feel much stronger, mentally and physically a good start to the year. Thank you.

Thank you Kim for a great week of Yoga awareness & awakening. It has been a transforming experience the benefits of which carry through each day. The bonus of daily classes has been the habit of bringing Yoga to the very day rather than just once per week.

Student, Sunshine Coast
