“We do not use the body to get into a pose – we use the pose to get into our body.” ~ Bernie Clarke
Yin yoga is a gentle and unhurried practice. Holding postures (which may be modified or supported) for minutes as you focus on the qualities of softening the breath and stillness. The meditative pace of yin yoga offers the opportunity to turn inwards and quietly nourish space within your body.
FULL MOON YIN YOGA each month, dates on our EVENTS page.
“I have been attending private Yin Yoga sessions… Cherie is a highly proficient, observant teacher who offers both philosophical and practical reasons behind the postures. The depth and breadth of her knowledge and experience in multiple modalities is impressive. Cherie often readily adapts my practice plan, simply based on how I walk into the studio and stand on any given day and how I’m feeling.”

Yoga THERAPY
This is offered in private sessions.
A yoga practice customised and relevant to the individual, supporting their current health, rehabilitation or injury management, lifestyle and outlined goals. This practice may incorporate asana with modifications (physical practice), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, mantra, visualisation, affirmation and intention setting.
Cherie has a Graduate Certificate Yoga Therapy (690hrs) from the Yoga Therapy Institute.
“I was particularly appreciative of her conscientiousness, as I was determined to avoid exacerbating my condition. Cherie recommended basic exercises that I could easily incorporate into my daily routine at home. The simple act of raising my arm above my head which was once a challenge, now fills me with immense joy and a renewed sense of vitality.”

Yoga WITH ROPES
This is offered as a private session for individuals or small group.

Yoga rope work increases balance and proprioception (bodily awareness).
