Individual & Group Yoga Therapy
Certified Yoga Therapist Petra Barnby (Dip YT, 550hrs) leading sessions in a beautiful garden studio in Saffron Walden.
Yoga Therapy to fit your needs
We offer a range of therapeutic services, from Individual and Group Yoga Therapy, to Massage Therapy and specialised therapeutic workshops (sound baths, retreats, etc).
Yoga means to ‘yoke’ or reconnect parts of ourselves which feel neglected or disconnected. The Yoga Shed offers various therapeutic sessions designed with one idea in common: to connect you back to your whole self.
Key differences from standard classes:
Therapeutic Focus: Yoga therapy is guided by a certified therapist to address your physical, mental, or emotional health challenges - such as chronic pain, rehab or anxiety.
Personalisation within a Group: In Yoga Therapy, the environment is small and structured so participants receive customised modifications based on their current needs and functional limits.
Mindbody Integration: Unlike mechanical or repetitive exercises, Yoga Therapy uses a holistic toolbox combining gentle movement, specialised breathwork (pranayama), guided relaxation, and meditation to regulate the nervous system.
No Competition or Pushing: Traditional fitness often measures success through speed, weight, or reps. Yoga Therapy focuses instead on self-acceptance, body awareness, and safe, sustainable pacing.
Nervous System Regulation: Sharing synchronized rhythms like gentle movement and breathing in a small therapeutic group lowers stress hormones and supports healing in ways solo workouts or high-intensity sports do not.
Supportive Peer Community: Working alongside a small group of people creates a unique sense of shared safety and community that isolated or competitive exercise environments lack.
Yoga Therapy helps you create a personalised holistic toolkit to deal with the challenges of YOUR life
