Yoga, pilates reformer and massage

Sahasta encompasses the principle aims of what I aim to offer on the yoga mat, the pilates reformer and the massage couch.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Pilates Reformer

A little bit about...

Having been under the tutelage of Claire Missingham (RYT200; 2010) and Alessandra Pecorella (RYT500), plus ongoing studies with Nikki Myers (since 2012) on the more therapeutic aspects of the practice of Yoga, my classes and private tuition are an amalagamation of years of study, practice, experience and extensive collaborative work that I am keen to share the benefits of with everyone – from complete beginners through to those with a more established or advanced practice.

Vinyasa Flow is a thorough and sometimes dynamic form of yoga where the main body of the class is principally about honing your awareness of the breath and the flow and the capacity to stay truly present. This slowly builds in intensity, focusing on strength and stabilisation, heating and mobilising the whole body to gain the maximum benefits from the second part of the class. Here, the focus shifts to deeper poses held for longer duration to increase flexibility, to release tension and is a great antidote to stress and anxiety.

Pilates Reformer is a highly effective form of functional movement exploration which is great for injury rehab or as a foundational movement modality for any sports and activities, gym based training and life itself! It is highly adaptable/scaleable making it more accessible than some mat based practices, and potentially, eventually more challenging too. It is also very complementary to a yoga practice rather than the 2 being mutually exclusive.

Sports & Remedial Massage

I am a qualified Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist (LSSM Dip, ISRM) and have studied specific myofascial release techniques (Alex Fugallo:LSSM – ISRM) Deep tissue remedial massage is appropriate for the majority of the population, not just those of a regular sporting disposition. I am also qualified in Swedish Massage and all treatments tend to be a hybrid of all of my training to suit the individual client’s needs in that particular session.

My integrative massage work is a method of manipulation of muscles and connective tissue through a variety of techniques to assist with injury prevention and rehabilitation, increasing training volume, postural imbalances, stress relief, relaxation and enhancing general well being. My private practice is fully air conditioned for those sultry Summer days and warm and cosy for the more standard British weather conditions!

Can I help you?

I am a hugely enthusiastic advocate of the benefits of yoga, pilates reformer and massage on all levels to everyone – hence why they are an integral part of my life. For anyone who trains regularly and feels they have persistent injury problems or their training volume ceiling is closing down on them – yoga, reformer and/or massage may well be the solution for YOU. I work with a number of professional athletes for whom this is an integral part of their well being protocol.

Whatever your reason for interest – to improve flexibility, to strengthen, for injury rehabilitation/prevention, to boost your training volume, for stress management, coping with difficult circumstances or a challenging life transition, for general well being or for any spiritual or holistic motivation, you will get something extremely positive from regular yoga, pilates reformer practice and/or thorough massage work.

Plus, it’s worth adding that it’s a great way to feel balanced – stronger and yet more spacious, energised yet more calm and centred…and get a great night’s sleep too!
