Private Online Yoga, Pilates and Breathwork
Highly personalised and expert 1:1 support worldwide to enhance healing and high performance
Private classes can be of huge support through a physical, mental or spiritual health journey. They can help navigate anxiety, injuries, pain and other chronic health conditions. They can often help untangle the route of the challenges you’re experiencing and help navigate them in a more effective way.
Private sessions can also be of great help when navigating a stressful phase of life, a busy work or travel schedule or to enhance training for a physical challenge.
Trial a one off online or in person taster session (Rate range usually between 50€ to 150€ depending on location and duration).
Reserve a series of bespoke classes over a timespan and frequency that makes sense for your goals and schedule.
Private sessions can be incredibly supportive to help get to the route of / or navigate a particularly stressful phase, pain, injuries, anxiety, weight loss, hormone imbalances and other chronic health issues.
As sessions are physiotherapist led, hence can form part of a rehabilitation programme and are sometimes reimbursable as physiotherapy.
Available via zoom worldwide and in person around Messery / Geneva / Lac Leman.
Methods used
Yogalates is a unique blend of yoga and pilates which I’ve developed and taught over the last 25 years to offer the benefits of both disciplines. Yoga more for the flexibility, pilates more for the stability. There is actually a huge overlap between the 2 methods which both aim to integrate the body, mind and soul. Yet there are some fundamental differences in the philosophies too. Together they compliment one another beautifully, hence why I love to combine them to offer a practical, functional, efficient yet spiritual practice. If you’re looking to balance and strengthen the body, settle stress / anxiety or an overactive mind as well as replenish the soul, it’s well worth a try!
The classes also include breath work, meditation, functional exercise and other science based wellbeing and performance tips to keep you fit, healthy, injury free and happy. Some techniques also help regulate the nervous system which is immensely important in our fast paced world, as well as to restore the body after trauma.
Vinyasa Yoga is a type of yoga where postures link and flow. My classes are highly modified as required for each individual, including those with pain. Great for flexibility, clearing the mind and getting to know oneself at a deeper level.
Pilates matwork is excellent for core stability, enhancing sports performance (especially running), pelvic floor strength, posture, back pain, post natal and injury rehabilitation. The APPI method is used, a method developed by physical therapists hence is adapted and wonderful for rehabilitation of all injuries and most chronic pain - especially back and neck pain.
Functional exercise is much underrated and often missed in exercise programmes. As creatures of habit most adults tend to favour one gym class, yoga method or a specific sport like cycling or jogging, which is great because most movement is. However, it isn’t necessarily optimal. Maintaining a wide range of functional movement IS optimal, just like children do. This might include crouching, skipping, bursts of higher intensity (HIT) or weighted exercise - all as appropriate for your level.
Coaching in areas such as maintaining a healthy mindset and managing emotions, deep healing, understanding hormones and nutrition foundations are touched upon in the classes to help educate and empower you to get the most out of your amazing body, mind and life.
Yoga Nidra is a gentle method designed to calm stress in the body, mind and soul. It involves gentle movement, breathwork and meditation. It can involve props such as pillows and can be adapted for most levels.
Physiotherapy: the classes include certain physiotherapy exercises / tips which cross over with the stretching found in yoga and the stabilisation work found in pilates.
All classes have the overall aim of helping optimise body, mind and soul
Including the body’s flexibility, strength, stability and fitness, and are bespoke to those attending. They aim to help you be intentional about the sustainable habit shifts required to feel the way you want to feel. Some classes can be adapted to facilitate injury recovery and prevention, pre-natal and post natal care, weight loss, stress and anxiety reduction, sporting performance, dis-ease prevention and longevity.
Perhaps most importantly, all classes are designed to deepen the connection with oneself
To facilitate the connection with our intuition and a deep sense of self, purpose, confidence and inner peace.
All students also benefit from:
