Yoga Therapy for Stress, Anxiety & Nervous System Regulation

8-Week Therapeutic Programme

If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly “on,” this programme is designed for you.

This evidence-based Yoga Therapy programme supports stress, anxiety, and overwhelm by helping to shift the nervous system out of survival mode and into greater calm, stability, and resilience.

Through breath, movement, mindfulness, and deep rest, participants are guided toward lasting nervous system regulation — not just temporary relief.

This is a regularly running Yoga Therapy programme, offered in response to ongoing demand and the consistent results participants experience.

After several years of offering this programme in the evenings, I’m excited to be bringing it into the daytime for the first time.

The next 8-week programme will run on Thursday mornings, 10:00–11:00am, creating a calm and accessible space for those who have more availability during the day — including mums after morning drop-off, people not working traditional hours, and anyone who simply finds mornings a better time to prioritize their wellbeing.

Moving this programme into the daytime also reflects a natural shift in my own work, as I move away from evening offerings and create more space for my family in the evenings.

The next programme begins Thursday 15th October 2026
