How is Yoga-Health different from Yoga?
Yoga-Health is a synthesis of gentle Yoga PLUS recent discoveries of stress-relief technologies such as Feldenkrais, Alexander and Bioenergetics as well as Pilates-type movements which trim the mid-section and strengthen the lower-back. (Interestingly, many are initially from Yoga.)
What this means is that instead of straining and sweating for several weeks in classical Yoga, you can experience instant results in terms of flexibility and stress-reduction simply, easily and without straining.

What if I have a sore back / neck / etc?
No problem! About a third of our students are referred by doctors, physiotherapists or chiropractors.
We have a lot of success with such things, as well as arthritic conditions, hormonal imbalances and headaches. Do inform your instructor though, so we can keep a special eye on you.

I am pregnant, can I still attend classes?
Yes of course. Yogahealth does lend itself well towards pregnancy as it is gentle and nurturing while strengthening and relaxing. Movements can be adapted to suit your growing belly and changing needs. Be sure to either download the "Guidelines for Pregnancy" here or ask your instructor for a copy. We recommend that pregnant women join after the first trimester (12 weeks) unless discussed with your doctor first. If your doctor has any queries, they are welcome to call us to discuss any issues further or simply direct them to this website.

Do I need to be fit in order to attend Yoga-Health classes?
Classes are easy and gently respectful of all students, irrespective of age, weight or fitness levels. In fact, if you are not fit and flexible, you will be even more delighted at the changes in your body after a single class!

What do I wear?
If you have a lime-green tutu with matching flippers...No, seriously though, you can wear anything that you feel comfortable in and that does not restrict your movements. In winter, it is usually a track-suit and just shorts and t-shirt in summer.

Do I need to fill in a form?
We do maintain a secure database of our current students. We use this to help us plan our classes. For example, if you fill out your form and tell us that you have a shoulder problem, then we will schedule some shoulder releases for you during the class. Added to this, we are always researching new methods of healing injured bodies. If we discover something of use to you, we will either email you or give you the information in class.

Can I just turn up?
In any of our new Sunshine Coast classes, yes you can.
In WA some of our classes are currently full. Easiest way to check is to email us here. Specify which class(es) interest you.
