Our Philosophy
Holistic & Eastern medicine
If you’ve ever tried conventional talk therapy, Western medicine or other isolated healing practices but found it didn’t create the lasting changes you were looking for, holistic healing might be just what you need.
Western healing often focusses on alleviating symptoms, which is highly useful and necessary for the short term. However, if you’re looking for deep, lasting healing that is more than just coping with pain or discomfort but heals you from the very root cause of the dis-ease, this is the primary purpose of holistic and Eastern healing.
In the realm of holistic well-being, we believe no problem exists in isolation. Each challenge you encounter is interconnected, offering a solution through the rebalancing and healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
An imbalance in one realm can find remedy through restoration in the others. We also believe that our unique life paths and karma, contribute to the manifestation of specific dis-ease (whether that be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual).
We work with your body through Ayurvedic nutrition, lifestyle adjustments and physical, somatic practices influenced by authentic yoga. Your mind is nourished through compassionate talk therapy, the learning of ancient wisdom and open conversation. Your spirit is awakened through ancient spiritual practices, sacred journeys and deep activations.
We are here to navigate this journey with ease and grace, exploring the lessons your soul has chosen for growth and learning in this lifetime. Our biggest hope is that these experiences help you remember who you truly are - a being of optimal health, free from limiting conditioning and deeply connected to the universe around you.
Ayurveda is Yoga's sister, known as India's "Science of Life." This holistic healing system delves into the profound wisdom of personalised well-being, recognising each individual's unique elemental constitution of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas—distinct energy patterns that influence the body, mind, spirit, earth and cosmos.
It allows us to understand the principles guiding balance and harmony, not just in the physical realm but also in mental and spiritual dimensions.
Ayurveda extends beyond conventional medicine, emphasises interconnectedness with nature and the universe, offering a timeless path to holistic living, with the goal of gently guiding you back to your true state of optimal wellness.
Tantra, at its core, is a spiritual tradition aimed at freeing us from our limited perspectives and connecting us with the divine essence within everything. While Western society often associates Tantra solely with sexuality, this is a diluted, warped misconception that has unfortunately kept the Western world blind to the true beauty of Tantra for quite some time.
Tantra celebrates the body as a sacred temple through which universal energy can flow, while other religious paradigms reject the body and view it as a hinderance. It recognises the state prior to enlightenment: living in your ultimate reality while still playing the game of being human. In tantra, life is not something to escape, it's something to be radically enjoyed.
Through Tantra, the divine can be found not only in the spiritual realms but also in the everyday, mundane aspects of life. Tantric teaching help us to live a life of true freedom and lasting happiness through healing past wounds and learning to enjoy the process of being human, rather than resiting it. A tantric way of life is one where every experience becomes an intimate, ecstatic, loving connection with the universe.
Through Tantra, practitioners seek unity with the divine in daily life, transcending ego limitations by integrating attachments and aversions, and facing triggers. It is about embracing every experience as the divine perfection that it is, living with and transcending the suffering rather than trying to become enlightened in order to escape it.
Yoga is not just about physical fitness or flexibility - the true practices of yoga are designed to remove layers of conditioned limiting beliefs, patterns and shadows. Yoga is a way to somatically access the unconscious, to learn about and bring awareness to our deepest shadows and ego mechanisms to heal from the inside out.
Inner Work yoga is authentic yoga that integrates principles of inner work such as talk therapy and consciousness healing with sacred movement. Every aspect of a class is designed to heal mind, body and spirit through somatic healing and deeper connection to self. It is not about being flexible, getting into poses or physical fitness. It is about moving our bodies in any way that feels good and creates cathartic and whole body healing - integrating all levels of the body for lasting change.
Yoga is ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unify’. In unifying body, breath and consciousness, we become one integrated whole. Yoga offers many teachings and practices with the intent of realising oneness. Through curiosity and compassion for the parts of ourselves that have been hidden in the shadows, stuck in limiting patterns of dis-ease and suffering, we begin to reveal our true and eternal nature: the version of ourselves that exists in untouchable inner peace, freedom and lasting happiness.
