Structural Yoga:
Your posture today is a reflection of everything you have ever done to and with your body. The way you walk, sit, carry things, and the type of job you undertake all impact on your posture. If you undertake sporting activity one side of your body or certain muscles may be more developed or flexible than others. This imbalance may lead to injuries and longer term health problems. Structural yoga identifies imbalances in the body. Individual programmes are then designed to return the body to balance. They are continually refined to develop in line with the individuals needs.Venkatesh Hatha Yoga:
Venkatesh Hatha Yoga involves practicing a combination of postures, breathing and relaxation. The yoga sequence includes all the classical yoga postures and is suitable for beginners to more advanced students. Postures are normally held for 10 breaths with an emphasis placed on correct alignment. Detailed verbal instructions are given by the teacher along with very gentle hands on adjustments. The primary aims of the class are for students to ‘feel the pose’, quieting the mind and balance their emotions.The practice is a great physical workout, with strength, stamina and flexibility being developed, but also leaves the students with a feeling of inner calmness and peace.

Yoga Therapy:
Yoga Therapy uses a combination of yoga practices to support in the healing of particular conditions. It is much more specialist than yoga with all sessions tailored to a specific ailment or injury. Yoga Therapy assists the systems of the body to function as efficiently and effectively as possible, aiding prevention of illnesses, alleviating symptoms of existing conditions and promoting the body’s own natural healing process to restore health and wellbeing where disease is already present.
Much medical research is now available showing that Yoga Therapy is very effective in treating many conditions.
Yoga Therapy is complimentary to western medicine and should not be viewed as a substitute for a medical diagnosis or the services of a physician. Yoga Therapy can be practised in conjunction with medical treatments being received and also in tandem with other complementary therapies.
Yoga Therapy and Structural Yoga are offered as individual, small group and group sessions.
Yoga for Children and Yoga for Teenagers are offered as small group and group sessions.

She believes in learning yoga from where it originated and then fuses this ancient knowledge with the modern teachings of the west. This enables her to bring ancient yoga techniques and their many benefits to the 21st century urban dweller.
Veronique’s real passion has always been to use yoga and holistic therapies to help heal specific health conditions and physical injures. This led Veronique to undertake specialist training in Yoga Therapy in India and the USA . Veronique is one of only a few teachers who have trained in both countries.
