Professional Experience

In her sessions, Usha helps clients notice their breathing, movement and how their bodies react to stress.

Her menopause training allows her to adapt practice for women going through the physical and emotional changes it can bring.

Her coaching training also helps her work with clients who want to change long-standing habits or the direction of their lives.

Approach to Care

Usha adapts her yoga and breathwork to each person, rather than teaching a fixed routine.

She pays particular attention to the link between how the body feels and how a person feels emotionally.

For clients who find it hard to talk about how they feel, breathwork can be an easier place to start, because it works through the body first.
