Mission Statement

At Yoga Therapy Whole Person Healing we are committed to:

• offer high quality support to individuals who are seeking to take an active role in improving their health in a holistic way
• bring together our collective experience, learning and dedication to provide yoga teachers with the highest standard of yoga therapy training.

Yoga Therapy Whole Person Healing grew from a deep desire to reconnect with the profound roots and healing of power of yoga. The vision is to offer competent and compassionate yoga therapy support alongside yoga therapy training that delves into the rich philosophical and experiential depths of yoga, to honour the timeless wisdom of yoga and bring it into a contemporary therapeutic context. Understanding that the art of yoga therapy lies in the ability to thoughtfully apply yoga’s ancient sources and philosophical underpinnings. To bring this vision to life, Barbara, Sabine and David, formed a team united by a shared commitment to hold the essence of yoga at the heart of the training they provide, just as it is at the heart of their own one-to-one practice with people.
