Yoga and Clinical yoga

At Holistic Physio Fitness in Mona Vale, we have 2 on-site gyms/ studios dedicated to running both 1:1 consults and group classes. Some of the classes include yoga and clinical yoga to address your mobility and flexibility needs. It will address both pain and function to allow you to move better, feel better and also prevent other injuries from occurring.

What’s the difference between yoga and clinical yoga:

Whilst we do offer regular yoga classes, we also combine our professional qualifications to offer clinical yoga. Clinical yoga is similar to regular yoga in that it still involves all the regular yoga exercises and positions, but it is instructed by a health professional with extra knowledge on how to target certain injuries and conditions. This means you get the benefits of yoga whilst honing in on your own particular injury and health profile. What’s more is that you may even be eligible for private health rebates*.

Exercise Physiologist:

Our yoga is led by Leah Rowan who is a long time yoga teacher and exercise physiologist. Leah combines her knowledge in Exercise Physiology, and her yoga teachings to offer a yoga class that we believe to be more effective and targeted.
