Yoga
One-on-One & Pairs | In-Person | 60 to 120 minute classes
Yoga is an ancient and intricate system of principles, philosophies and practices that recognise the multi-dimensional nature of the Human Being, viewing the body, breath and mind as a union of these multi-dimensional aspects. The system and various techniques of Yoga work to cultivate a deeper experience of that union, cultivating higher consciousness, and a greater sense of Self-Awareness, health and happiness.
A deep and clear sense of Self-Awareness is what allows us to understand and address our needs effectively. Awareness of our Minds - the thoughts, stories, mental programs and psychological conditionings we carry - our Bodies - their functions, strengths, weaknesses, flexibility, adaptability and the conditionings we carry in our tissues - and our Spirits - the consciousness or awareness residing within all of us. Cultivating this deep connection and intimacy with the whole Self is the true therapeutic magic of Yoga.
Chloe's Yoga classes include techniques such as static holds and dynamic movements, breath awareness and breathing exercises, relaxation and concentration, self-inquiry and meditation. These techniques work to tune out the noise of the external world, and assist you in tuning in to your Self so that you may relax into the present moment, and rest in the naturalness of your Being. With each class you can expect a drop in meditation, gentle mindful movements to warm up the body and continue bringing the awareness into the present moment, Yoga postures, functional movements and stretches, and a final relaxation and closing meditation.

Deep Tissue Massage
(Bodywork)
Deep tissue massage is a form of direct Myofascial Release, operating on the principle that many physical discomforts and chronic pain conditions stem from adhesions and fascial restrictions within the body. These adhesions are like tangled knots of connective tissue that can restrict blood flow, limit mobility, and cause pain. By applying firm pressure and slow strokes, deep tissue massage encourages the release of these adhesions and promotes better circulation. This increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues and fascia, helping them heal and regain flexibility. Moreover, the manipulation of deep tissue also triggers the release of natural pain-relieving substances in the body, such as endorphins. This combination of physical manipulation and biochemical responses makes deep tissue massage an effective approach for addressing chronic pain and tension.
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets the deeper layers of muscles and fascia. It's designed to release chronic tension and address adhesions or knots that can develop within the fascial network. This massage technique involves firm pressure applied using the forearms, knuckles or elbows to slowly sink through the surface layers of muscle and work directly on the restricted connective tissues. By doing so, deep tissue massage helps to break down adhesions and release muscle and fascial tension, promoting better circulation and improved range of motion.

One of the significant benefits of deep tissue massage is its ability to alleviate chronic pain, whether caused by injury, overuse, or tension. It can effectively reduce muscle stiffness and improve flexibility, making it a popular choice among athletes and individuals with physically demanding lifestyles. Additionally, deep tissue massage can aid in the overall relaxation of the body, as it releases pent-up stress and tension stored within the fascia. Regular sessions can contribute to better posture, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall well-being.
