Healing Specialised Yoga
We all have wounds that need healing. We all have our effective and not so effective ways of coping. For many of us, sooner or later, deeper work needs to be done to unravel psychic, emotional, mental and physical knots in order to alleviate the pain and suffering of unresolved issues we carry in body, mind and soul. Taking the time to do healing work frees us to live life to full capacity. To live and fulfill our goals and dreams with heart, love, peace and joy.
For many years Georgina has been engaged in exploring and developing an interdisciplinary approach to healing, incorporating yoga, creativity with visual art and movement, mindfulness practices and bodywork. In addition to training as an Astanga Vinyasa Yoga practitioner and teacher, Georgina spent four years working one-to-one with Vini Yoga teacher, Sylviane Gianina, to develop the subtle practices of pranayama, chanting and meditation in order to work through challenging personal experiences.
She is committed to making yoga, mindfulness practices and creative expression available to those who may find it difficult to access these healing arts through general public classes. She has years of experience working with vulnerable groups using yoga and the creative arts.
