Move, Breathe and Reconnect with Your Body
Yoga is much more than a form of exercise. It is a holistic practice that combines movement, breathing techniques and mindfulness to support both physical and emotional wellbeing. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve flexibility, release physical tension or simply reconnect with yourself, yoga offers a gentle and accessible way to care for both body and mind.
At My International Therapy, our yoga sessions are designed to meet you where you are. You do not need to be flexible, athletic or have previous experience. Classes are adapted to different abilities and focus on helping you feel stronger, calmer and more connected to your body.

Who Can Benefit from Yoga?
Yoga is suitable for people of all ages and experience levels.
You may benefit from yoga if you:
- Feel stressed or overwhelmed
- Experience physical tension from work or daily life

What Happens During a Yoga Session?
Our sessions combine movement, breathing and relaxation in a calm, supportive environment.
Depending on the class, a session may include:
- Gentle warm-up exercises
- Yoga postures (asanas)
- Stretching and mobility work
- Breathing techniques (pranayama)
- Balance and strengthening exercises
- Guided relaxation
- Mindfulness and body awareness
The emphasis is never on performance or achieving difficult poses. Instead, yoga encourages you to listen to your body, move at your own pace and develop greater awareness of how you feel physically and emotionally.
Yoga for Stress and Emotional Wellbeing
Modern life often keeps our nervous system in a constant state of activity.
Yoga encourages the opposite: slowing down, breathing more deeply and reconnecting with the present moment.
Many people notice that regular practice helps them:
- Feel calmer during stressful situations
- Reduce physical symptoms of stress
- Improve concentration
- Sleep more easily
- Develop healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions
- Feel more grounded in everyday life
For many people, yoga becomes a simple but effective self-care practice that supports emotional wellbeing over time.
Yoga and Mental Health
Although yoga is not a form of psychotherapy, growing research suggests that regular practice may help improve overall mental wellbeing by reducing perceived stress, promoting relaxation and encouraging greater body awareness.
Many people choose to combine yoga with psychological therapy, counselling or coaching. Together, these approaches can support both emotional and physical wellbeing in complementary ways.
Do I Need Previous Experience?
Not at all.
Our yoga sessions welcome complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners.
Movements and postures can be adapted to different levels of flexibility, strength and mobility, allowing everyone to participate comfortably and safely.
The goal is not to perform perfectly, but to enjoy the benefits of regular practice in a supportive environment.
Online and In-Person Yoga
Depending on the instructor, yoga sessions may be available online or in person.
Online classes allow you to practice from the comfort of your own home, while in-person sessions provide a shared space to move, breathe and connect with others.
Your instructor will explain any equipment you may need, although many sessions require nothing more than a yoga mat and comfortable clothing.
