To create change that goes beyond the surface is one of the hardest things we can do.

Yoga Therapy utilises the many techniques and tools of Yoga and Ayurveda according to the individual’s constitution as well as their particular goals and needs. In this way, a personal practice allows us to evolve in the most efficient and harmonious way possible.

Advaya co-founders, Ruby and Christabel Reed, are both trained Yoga Therapists. The work they do on a 1-1 basis lies at the heart of the work they do through Advaya, which aims to empower and support deep systems change within and without.

For the majority of their students, the aim of 1-1 sessions is to create a home practice that not only holds the individual through whatever challenges they are faced with, but also allows them to reconnect with the joy and wonder of embodied life. Utilising techniques of movement, breath, sound, meditation and the ancient science of Ayurveda, Ruby and Christabel can assist healing at the physical, mental and/or spiritual levels. Whether you suffer from back pain, want to build greater strength or develop a daily ritual that connects you to the sacred, Ruby and Christabel are passionate to share these ancient practices for personal and collective renewal and regeneration.

One-to-one sessions are not only the most productive way to learn and evolve but also the most traditional.

About 1-1 Sessions#

“Teach what is inside of you. Not as it applies to you, to yourself, but as it applies to the other”
— Tirumalai Krishnamacharya

There are manifold tools, systems and techniques that fall under the umbrella of ‘Yoga’. Within a 1-1 Yoga Therapy context these tools may be applied uniquely to the individual through careful observation and consultation.

While group classes are wonderful and any Yoga practice is better than no practice, it is important to recognise that no two people are the same - the nature of our physical, mental and spiritual make-up are so diverse and nuanced that the way we respond to particular Yoga techniques greatly varies. Furthermore, not everyone has the same goals or feels limited by the same obstacles.

We all have different journeys to go on. Christabel and Ruby hope to empower individuals through Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy - passing on different techniques and creating simple practices that ignite the wisdom and healing already within the individual.
