Mortlake Yoga and Wellness Studio

I have been running my business Kimochi Ki Therapies offering Shiatsu, Therapeutic, Deep Tissue and Relaxation Massage along with Reiki and Healing for the past 13 years specialising in treating and supporting people with Musculo-Skeletal issues, Pregnancy pre and post-natal, living with life threatening illness such as Cancer, MND, MS, Diabetes, Mental health-Depression, Anxiety and Palliative Care.

Massage not only treats, but also helps to prevent illness, thus regular treatments are great as part of a preventative health care program. Massage also stimulates your blood circulation and the lymphatic system, eliminates toxins, promotes relaxation, strengthens the body, alleviates pain and discomfort, clears blockages, balances energy and stimulates the body’s own healing powers.

I have now completed a 6 month intensive Yoga Teacher Training with the Yoga and Meditation School of India and will commence Yoga Classes February 2017. I am teaching Traditional Yoga based on Ashtanga and Hatha principles which will incorporate Asanas - postures, Pranayama - Breathing Techniques, Pratyahara - withdrawal of the mind from the senses and Mantra Chanting. These techniques help to purify the body, mind and energy systems to prepare for higher practices of Dharana - Concentration and Dhyana- Meditation.

There are many benefits of a regular Yoga practice and some are as follows: increased flexibility; builds muscle strength and tone; improved respiration, energy and vitality; improved posture; cardiovascular and circulatory health; boosts immunity; benefits your spine and bone health; improves the digestive system; balances hormones; lowers levels of stress and anxiety; releases tension and increases feelings of happiness and wellbeing; creates a sense of inner peace, harmony and clarity of mind.
