Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain

Persistent pain is not just a problem in the tissues — it also involves a nervous system that has become highly sensitised over time. Yoga therapy addresses both. Research summarised by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) suggests gentle movement, breath work and relaxation may help reduce pain-related distress, improve function and restore confidence in movement.

A tailored programme may help you:

•  Move more comfortably within your own safe range

•  Calm the stress and tension that amplify pain

•  Improve sleep, which is often disrupted by pain

•  Rebuild trust and confidence in your body

•  Learn self-management tools you can use at home

Yoga therapy complements your medical care — it doesn't replace it. We work alongside your GP, physiotherapist or specialist, never instead of them.

We begin by understanding your condition, history and goals. Movement is gentle, supported and always within your comfort — nothing is forced. You'll leave with a simple, manageable home practice tailored to your needs.

Adults in Perth living with persistent or recurring pain — such as ongoing muscular pain, arthritis-related stiffness, fibromyalgia, or pain that lingers after injury — who want a gentle, individualised approach.

We are a husband-and-wife practice, both Registered Yoga Teachers and Yoga Therapists with Yoga Australia (Level 2) and recognised under Yoga Australia's Private Health programme. Sunil also serves on the IAYT Accreditation Program Review Committee internationally. Our approach is careful, evidence-informed and respectful of the yoga tradition.

Depending on your cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health fund — please check your individual policy.
