Yes. Yoga with Romy is highly individualised using a range of props to suit your specific needs. If you are not very flexible, the practice will help release in your body.

It really depends on the injury. Romy invites each participant to a complimentary 15 minute session to identify issues and ascertain whether classes will be suitable. In many instances they are.

Romy’s classes are very small, with a maximum of 6 people in each class. Each person is made to feel very comfortable as an individual. We recommend you try one class and see how you feel. We strongly believe the support and care we offer will immediately make you feel at home. Each person is honoured as an individual in Romy’s classes.

Props help individualise the yoga so that every person, no matter their situation, can access a pose. They also help you get deeper into the pose, creating a more potent positive effect.

Although Romy's classes are highly individualised, private sessions are great for those who want a more personalised focus and more flexible scheduling. Some people like to combine classes with some private sessions.

Meditation is not about stopping the thinking mind. This is a common misconception. Nobody can stop their mind from thinking; it's a human attribute. In meditation, we learn to cultivate attention, and if our mind wanders, we simply bring it back to what we're placing our attention on. The more we notice our mind wander and in response, it back, the better we get at harnessing our attention. This is the process of meditation. As we experience gaps in our compulsive thinking, we begin to feel a deep sense of relaxation in those gaps.

One of the greatest benefits of meditation is that it gives the brain a rest and therefore leads to greater clarity and efficiency. So, people who meditate often need less time to get things done.

Meditation accesses different brainwaves that induce blissful and relaxed states.

Movement-based flow states are wonderful, and it makes sense that sport gives you a similar feeling. Sitting meditation offers something a little different, though — it trains you to find that same stillness and clarity without relying on external activity, which is a skill in itself. It's completely normal to find it hard at first; that difficulty is actually part of the practice, not a sign you're doing it wrong. Over time, many people find that sitting meditation deepens the same benefits they already get from sport — better focus, clarity, and calm — while also making it easier to access that state off the field, not just on it.
