Ash's Yoga Therapy is designed to guide you toward greater balance, health, and well-being. Each session builds upon the last, offering personalized care and support to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll create a practice that empowers your growth and nurtures your journey every step of the way.

1. Discovery Session

In this nurturing first session, we come together to wholeheartedly explore every facet of who you are. We’ll gently unpack your personal history, day-to-day habits, physical condition, and emotional well-being through open, caring dialogue. By taking the time to truly listen and comprehensively assess your needs, I gather the deep insights that will guide us in creating a practice plan uniquely attuned to your body, mind, and spirit—one that respects your journey and supports your path toward lasting wellness.

2. Integration Session

Drawing on all the insights we uncovered in your initial session, I carefully design a practice plan that’s uniquely attuned to your personal needs and aspirations. In our second session, we’ll walk through every facet of your individualized routine—breathwork, sequence, techniques—so you feel fully supported and confident from the start. By practicing together, you’ll gain clarity, comfort, and the foundational skills needed to make this healing journey truly your own.

3. Review & Refinement Session

In this third session—plus any future review sessions you choose to book—we’ll take a close look at your progress, ensuring you’re following your plan safely and effectively. If needed, I’ll make adjustments or additions to your treatment plan so it continues to grow with you. Think of these sessions as your ongoing support system, giving you the reassurance and clarity you need to keep advancing on your wellness journey.

I came across Ash’s yoga class by chance, and it has been truly life-changing. As someone who lives with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, I am often in constant struggle. Attending his classes has opened a door I didn’t know existed. For years, despite therapy and mindfulness practice, I knew I wasn’t breathing properly. Even with more than a couple of years of yoga behind me, I had never really learnt how to breathe with ease. Through Ash’s teaching, I finally became aware of my breath and, for the first time, was able to breathe correctly without the intense struggle I had always felt before.

 

Personally, I believe this should be the foundation of every yoga class. Breathing correctly is the true purpose of yoga, because it allows us to gain the full benefit of the practice. Yet in modern Western adaptations of yoga, the focus has often shifted to poses and performance, missing the essential truth that breath should come first. Once breath is mastered, the postures follow naturally, with greater ease and authenticity.

 

The most powerful part is that this change hasn’t been a one-off experience. I carry the practice of proper breathing into my everyday life, not just in class. That, to me, is the real gift.

 

Thank you, Ash. Your teaching has helped me in ways I never thought possible. For anyone who, like me, has struggled with shallow breathing or has been unable to find a way through mental distress, this may be exactly what you need. It is not only a practice—it is a lifelong benefit.
