Yoga
One-on-One & Pairs | In-Person | 60 to 120 minute classes
Yoga is an ancient and intricate system of principles, philosophies and practices that recognise the multi-dimensional nature of the Human Being, viewing the body, breath and mind as a union of these multi-dimensional aspects. The system and various techniques of Yoga work to cultivate a deeper experience of that union, cultivating higher consciousness, and a greater sense of Self-Awareness, health and happiness.
A deep and clear sense of Self-Awareness is what allows us to understand and address our needs effectively. Awareness of our Minds - the thoughts, stories, mental programs and psychological conditionings we carry - our Bodies - their functions, strengths, weaknesses, flexibility, adaptability and the conditionings we carry in our tissues - and our Spirits - the consciousness or awareness residing within all of us. Cultivating this deep connection and intimacy with the whole Self is the true therapeutic magic of Yoga.
Chloe's Yoga classes include techniques such as static holds and dynamic movements, breath awareness and breathing exercises, relaxation and concentration, self-inquiry and meditation. These techniques work to tune out the noise of the external world, and assist you in tuning in to your Self so that you may relax into the present moment, and rest in the naturalness of your Being. With each class you can expect a drop in meditation, gentle mindful movements to warm up the body and continue bringing the awareness into the present moment, Yoga postures, functional movements and stretches, and a final relaxation and closing meditation.

Compression Massage
(Bodywork)
Compression is performed by laying hands over a muscle and pushing down, compressing the tissues, then the hands are lifted and moved to a different area where the compressions are repeated. This is often performed through the clothes or a towel. The pressure of compressions can range from light to very deep, and be performed with a slight rocking or jostling movement.
​
Compression promotes relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS is able to alter the mood through hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine. These hormones produce feelings of happiness, calm, and contentment. Compression also improves circulation and increases muscle temperature, allowing the muscles to soften and lengthen so they can be worked deeper. Compressions initially restrict the blood flow but then encourage a larger amount of blood to the area. Improved circulation throughout the body flushes out excess fluids, and increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, improving tissue conditions, supporting and accelerating the healing of damaged tissues, preparing muscles for activity, relieving tightness and enhancing the stretch reflex in the muscles, treating pain and supporting pain free movement by eliminating trigger points and interrupting pain signal pathways, reducing inflammation, and relieving pressure and swelling in the tissues.
