Faith in yoga śraddhā is sometimes the thing I need reminding of the most 🙏🏻
Any practice especially a spiritual one has to be believed in for it to be effective. The mind is a potent mediator in how we receive the healing that is being given from any given practice.

Today I was at a bit of a loss with a private client. They are unwell and emotionally are struggling too. In this kind of circumstance pretty much every form of āsana based practice is completely inappropriate. But what we have in the viniyoga toolbox are other powerful methods to bring about a little balance.

For the first time today I "treated" a client with vedic chanting. Most of my students and clients have heard me chant. Some of them know I'm a year and a half into Vedic chanting teacher training. I know how it affects me and it's healing properties are indisputable.

My client today got some rest and relaxation, a break from anxiety and restless legs as I chanted to them. For healing to occur we need rest and space for that to happen.

Thank you to my teacher Sheela Shankar and all my previous teachers in the Viniyoga tradition.

And for those of you interested, I would like to find a student who's interested in chanting for private lessons.

Yoga for Health and Healing

Rebecca offers classical yoga in group classes, asana, pranayama and chanting in the tradition known as Viniyoga which honours the individual student and their requirements. Viniyoga allows for the individual to embrace their practice in a way that suits them. It is not a fitness based practice, movements are coordinated with breath in a mindful way. Classes are tailored to the students needs and range from relaxation and meditation to stronger asana/posture based practices. Rebecca also teaches beginners classes where you can expect to learn how to breathe in practice and key aspects of yoga postures.

Rebecca leads workshops on topics such as asana, pranayama, specific mantras, vedic chanting and meditation. Here there is opportunity for exploration of the philosophy underpinning yoga practice and time for students to have a conversation about their experiences.

Rebecca also offers 1:1 therapeutic yoga. This can help a person improve their physical, mental and emotional health. In yogic terms there is no one thing separate from another in the human body, working in an holistic manner with concepts around diet and lifestyle, daily routines around sleep and work, conscious breath and movement can significantly improve one’s health. Rebecca will prescribe a practice and teach it to the student and there will be regular reviews and updates as things change. A typical therapeutic practice will be done at least 3 times a week and up to daily. If you are seeing another health care professional or healer Rebecca can use her skill as a registered nurse to formulate a practice that is complementary to medical advice. If you would like a session please get in touch.

You may want private tuition with a bespoke practice simply to deepen your relationship with your yoga practice and this too can be greatly beneficial to everyday life. A level of commitment is needed and this type of practice is not to be taken lightly, the gifts of what yoga practice can bring are there for the taking though, should you make this promise to yourself.
