I love this article about how everyone may experience yoga (or Pilates or dance or movement in general...) differently. To each their own.
I also love the (Buddhist) idea of 'ehipassiko' - in my mind, a movement class is ideally an 'invitation to come and see for yourself'. If you pay enough attention, you might be surprised what you find, that you may not have expected (or ... were told to expect)!

Are you curious?

For any mums out there who haven't yet returned to feeling 100% post-baby - if you're suffering from baby brain, brain fog, exhaustion, feeling "tired but wired" - you could have Postnatal Depletion. As the article says, this can be the case even up to 10 years later!
From experience I can say that yoga, gentle regular exercise like walking or swimming, and good nutrition really help with recovery. As does enhancing your bonding with your child / children.
If you'd like to attend a Mums & Bubs Yoga class, or would like a yoga therapy programme for yourself, contact Vicki at info@nurturebabies.com.au.
** All classes and consults are claimable under Physiotherapy private health cover **

Consider this: If youve had a child within the last decade, you might still be suffering some consequences—lethargy, memory disturbances, and poor energy levels, among other symptoms. And according to Dr. Oscar Serrallach, a family …

Next time you need an MRI, x-ray, CT, ultrasound, or an image-guided injection / procedure, we highly recommend Envision Medical Imaging.
In my humble opinion Envision is the best radiology clinic in Perth for musculoskeletal imaging - that is, for knees, hips, spine, etc - so I always refer my clients here. They provide excellent customer service, their radiologists always report extremely comprehensively on scans, and they are always happy to talk with us as physios, if we have any queries about a client's scans.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Simple as that.
There are no prerequisites for yoga.
As the famous BKS Iyengar said: "If you can breathe, you can do yoga."
You don't have to be able to stand on your head, touch your toes or look good in tights to have a yoga body.
EVERY BODY is a YOGA BODY 🙏

It's very hard to find an image of this quote - one of my favourites - without someone actually touching their toes!
(I find the irony in that amusing but also very frustrating...)
Most people needing Yoga Therapy (as opposed to yoga for fitness) will not be able to touch their toes, and while that may be a valid long-term goal if that's what you want, it is not a necessity.
True yoga is not what you see on Facebook. Full stop.
It is the unity of YOUR mind-body-breath, YOUR felt experience, YOUR exploration of YOUR body and mind's capabilities... which, when practised with mindfulness, may surprise you.
Vicki 🙏

Pain is an unpleasant signal. Suffering is how you relate to that signal. It’s the meaning or story you create in your mind in response to it.
You can change pain, or at the very least your response to it, using mindfulness.
Jeremy and I both incorporate mindfulness techniques, along with exercise and breath awareness, to help with pain, illness and injury management.
Sometimes "tuning in and not turning away" from longstanding pain and illness are the best strategies.
Vicki 🙏

When we become patients, we experience greater pain and limitation, but how we respond can make all the difference, says Susan Bauer-Wu. Barry Boyce reports.

Why I combine Yoga Therapy and Sports Physiotherapy - because this is what is possible:
Tom Brady, who's been called the greatest quarterback in NFL history, is still (at almost-40) at the peak of his game, surrounded by 20 year-olds.
He is defying the aging process with a unique combination of yoga, meditation, resistance band workouts, 'brain-gym' type exercises and clean (usually vegan) eating. He also forgoes the usual NFL fitness / weights regime and most of their medical care, including excessive reliance on anti-inflammatories and cortisone injections, and appears to be still improving with age.
Inspiring stuff! And it works for mere mortals too 😉

"I’m 39 and I get to play football for a living. There are not a lot of people who get that chance," Tom Brady tells Dayna Evans of NYMag.com. "Part of that is because of the way that I treat my body. There are not many people who get to play for as long as I have, and I want to be able to show the

How yoga helps the balance between our "emotional brain" and our "logical brain", and how that helps us deal with stress 🙏

This is what bending your body into yoga poses does to your brain chemistry and nerve connections.
