Global Yoga Therapy Day - Looking at Yoga Therapy and Illness

When we're living with illness or persistent pain, we think about how to improve health or how to cure the illness.

But is healing is something much broader?

What if improving function, restoring confidence, finding resilience, or changing our relationship with illness are equally important outcomes?

Can yoga therapy offer a cure?
Or does it offer something different to our usual ideas of recovery?

On Friday 14th August, 10–11am, Barbara Dancer and Sabine Dahn invite you to explore this question through presentation, a case study and an open discussion.

Rather than offering simple answers, we'll examine the different ways yoga therapy supports health and whole-person wellbeing—and why the answer may not be as straightforward as it first appears.

Yoga Therapy: Gentle Process or Cure?

On Friday 14th August
At 10:00–11:00
Email [email protected] to join us online.

We'd love you to bring your questions, your experiences and your curiosity.

Living with Long COVID is genuinely challenging — not just physically, or mentally and emotionally but also in the effort of having to explain it to others.

Using rest doesn't always relieve the breathlessness, fatigue or the brain fog. Symptoms can shift unpredictably from day to day. All of these are a lot to manage but there is also the feeling of not being quite believed or understood.

I've been working with people living with Long COVID for a few years now, and one of the things I've learnt is that a standard approach — even a gentle one — doesn't work. What does, is something built entirely around the individual - you: your symptoms, your energy levels, your particular combination of challenges.

In 1-2-1 yoga therapy sessions, we work with whatever is most useful for where you are right now. That might be breathwork to ease breathlessness and support the nervous system. It might be very gentle movement. It might be relaxation practices to address the "wired but tired" quality many people with Long COVID experience. It might be fatigue management strategies.
Often, it's all of these — in the right sequence, at the right pace, with rest built in rather than treated as failure.

You leave with a short home practice that belongs to you. It might be a few minutes in length or longer depending entirely on you. The aim is not to push through your symptoms but to work with something manageable, something that supports you and works with your energy rather than against it.

If this sounds like it might help, I offer a free 20-minute consultation — without obligation, just a conversation.

a walk to see if the poppies are out.
