Yoga Therapy is a highly individualized therapy that does not simply teach yoga, it adapts to your individuals needs.

Kendra's approach

What is most important in the practice of Yoga is the attention you give to yourself as an individual. It is a practice that teaches you the art of attention and self-regulation. The difference between a beginner and a more advanced student is less about postural ability and much more about the breadth of mindfulness, regardless of how 'stiff' or 'too tired' or 'too old' you think you are.

Yoga Sutra 1.2 defines yoga as yogas citta vrtti nirodhah and can be translated as;

​

Yoga happens when we embody our Essential Nature as unconditioned Stillness, which is always present, even when movements of thought, sensations ans other consciousness are present or absent.

Kendra originally trained with Gail Pisani in the Hatha Kundalini tradition and is influenced by her personal practises of Vipassana Meditation, iRest meditation and Satyananda Yoga . She has recently become Canberra's first registered Yoga Therapist trained in the Krishnamacharya tradition applying the principles of viniyoga. She brings aspects of these styles, as well as her knowledge of eastern medicine and philosophy, into her therapeutic approach today. Her modern style of teaching is one that strongly encourages mindfulness, breath-centred awareness and reawakening a self-exploration. 

Her popular Relaxation and Resilience courses honour the need to slow down and build a sustainable practice for life. Kendra is a trained Trauma-Informed Yoga teacher and loves to see those with PTSD anxiety or depression, start to live with joy again in their bodies.

Kendra’s mindful yoga classes feel tailor made for you.

I have taken a number of people along to the sessions and each comes away saying “I felt like the yoga was customised for my needs”. I

can’t recommend Kendra enough – even if you don’t do her yoga classes or yoga therapy then I strongly

recommend the reflexology and remedial massage – it’s blissful! Jan
