Why Yoga and not the gym? The ancient science of Yoga has a holistic viewpoint of exercise. It is a ‘work-in’ rather than a work-out because postures are practiced with awareness andmuscle tension is released. The mind is soothed, the body stretched and this gives the body a chance to turn on healing mechanisms. Movement and stretching the adult body alleviates degeneration. Relaxed focus on being present in your body alleviates stress.

At The Yoga Practice, we believe that yoga benefits everyone, whatever their age, ability or experience. We specialise in hatha yoga, which consists of a variety of physical poses and stretches, aswell as various breathing, focussing and relaxing techniques. The Yoga Practice is based in Isleworth, West London and most of our classes are held in or around this area.

The treatments used are totally safe and are highly effective manual techniques and reflex movements. They consist of mobilization, manipulation of vertebrae and extremities, as well as the impact onsoft tissues ie. In our offer, you can also find relaxation and sport massage, kinesiotherapy and much, much more. To complement and strengthen the potency of those therapies, we recommend yoga classes, available in our clinic, which are conducted under the watchful eye of an experienced teacher.

Through her private work Frederique started to deepen her expertise in Yoga Therapy (Yoga Biomedical Trust certificate 08, Doug Keller Yoga Therapy 09) and refine her teachings to address particular issues.

Sammie was first introduced to yoga whilst traveling in South East Asia and became hooked immediately. Seven years later Sammie is not only a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher but a handson mum who is slowly building up Yoga-Fitness around her two boisterous toddlers! Initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits such as improved tone, strength, flexibility and posture, Sammie quickly realised that there were many other benefits on offer.
