Yoga coaching for imbalance and pain

One to one or as a pair. You learn to recognise the movement patterns behind your discomfort.

Help yourself, with support along the way

Long hours of sitting, protective postures after an injury and movement patterns you don’t notice all throw your body off balance. You can see these imbalances in your posture, and you often feel them as pain.

Yoga isn’t therapy in the medical sense. In yoga coaching you learn to sense your body more precisely and to do yoga postures in a way that fits your anatomy.

Duo coaching is for couples, friends, and a parent with their child.

I’m an SYV/EYU-certified yoga teacher and trained in yoga therapy at Yoga University Villeret. I’ve coached one to one since 2017.

    We practise together. You learn to recognise your movement patterns and to do the postures in a way that fits your anatomy.

Frequently asked questions

How does yoga help with back pain or recovering from an injury?
Sitting for long hours, protective postures after an injury, and movement patterns you’re not even aware of all create imbalance in your body, which often shows up as pain. Yoga isn’t therapy in the medical sense. In one-to-one coaching, you learn to recognize your own unconscious movement patterns and practise yoga postures correctly for your own anatomy, so your body can feel steadier and more mobile again over time.
Is yoga safe if I have existing health limitations?
You can join a group class with back pain or after an injury. You take part at your own responsibility.
Can you support me beyond physical issues?
Yes, that’s possible too. Visit Herold GmbH (opens in a new tab)
