Yoga Informed Physiotherapy
A Gentle, Evidence-Based Path Back to Confident Movement
Yoga-Informed Physiotherapy blends clinical physiotherapy expertise with the mindful, biomechanically sound principles of Hatha yoga. Using a combination of yoga postures (asanas) and breathwork (pranayama) drawn from traditional yoga styles such as Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Restorative and Yin, this approach offers a safe and supportive way to rebuild strength, mobility and awareness. With tailored modifications provided by an experienced physiotherapist, individuals can learn key yoga shapes with confidence - supporting a home practice or a safe return to group classes.
Rebuilding Strength, Balance and Body Awareness
The structured movements, transitions and postures used in Yoga-Informed Physiotherapy provide valuable proprioceptive retraining, helping the body relearn how to coordinate movement across multiple joints. This approach fosters musculoskeletal recruitment, increases strength and enhances balance, allowing previously injured or vulnerable areas to be re-integrated into functional movement patterns.
Beyond the physical benefits, this practice supports a deeper awareness of subtle sensations that arise during movement. By cultivating a calmer, more supportive relationship with these sensations, individuals can rebuild trust in their bodies and develop a greater sense of safety and capability.
Movement as Mindfulness
Yoga-Informed Physiotherapy is both therapeutic and grounding. The slow, mindful movements can help regulate the autonomic nervous system, making this approach a form of “meditation in action.” Through breath, attention and controlled movement, clients learn to calm the body’s stress responses and support more easeful, confident motion.
Who Can Benefit
Yoga-Informed Physiotherapy may be well-suited for individuals who:
-
Prefer a gentle, mindful approach to rehabilitation
-
Want to regain confidence after injury or time away from movement
-
Are seeking breath-led, nervous-system-supportive therapy
-
Hope to build a safe, sustainable home practice
-
Wish to re-join group yoga classes with confidence and proper guidance.
