It is not about perfection, it is about practice
Yoga
Yoga for your Cancer Recovery
Yoga is a gentle and safe way to re-introduce movement into your life. Practising yoga fosters harmony of the body and mind. Our yoga sessions are individualised, and every session varies depending on your physical needs. Your yoga teacher will adjust your sessions as needed and assist you to progress safely.
Our Yoga sessions are one to one with an expert yoga teacher. Your initial session is guided by the outcomes of your physiotherapy assessment you have received prior. Our clinicians work closely together to ensure we set the right goals and create a suitable program for you.
FAQ's
Do I need an assessment first?
Every patient coming to our clinic will be assessed either by a physiotherapist, a massage therapist or an exercise therapist, depending the type of appointment you require.
Most of the patients we see will firstly have a consultation with a physiotherapist before they progress to any form of exercise therapy. This will ensure that we can identify your strength, limitations and establish your goals.
If you only want to do Yoga at our clinic and don’t require any other services, your Yoga therapist will perform an assessment with you.
What if I am new to yoga?
Whether you are new to yoga, or have lost strength and confidence through your treatment, we will make sure we start you off at the right level. A physical assessment will reveal where you are at, and assist us to tailor the yoga exercises to your needs. Your program will be adjusted as you are becoming stronger.
Do I get a plan for home practice?
Most definitely 😉
No one leaves our clinic without home work.
How often do I need to do yoga?
As often as you can manage.
We aim to provide an enjoyable workout for everyone where you can feel the benefits of movement almost immediately. That way, you don’t feel like you need to do yoga, but you want to do it.
What is the cost, and do I get any rebates?
We offer drop in sessions to see if you like our approach. These cost $85 for 45 minutes.
A 5 pass is $350.
At this stage there are unfortunately no rebates offered by health funds, nor by Medicare.
