What is exercise physiology?
Think of Exercise Physiology as an appointment with a physiotherapist and personal trainer all wrapped up into one. You will come away with a personalised program which can be done at home with limited equipment.
The program will give you evidence based yoga + strength exercises.
You will be given access to an online portal which will allow you to practice at home through your phone or computer with confidence knowing that we have your back. A short video of all exercises are available for you to watch if you happen to forget the exercises - no stick men on paper here!
Private group sessions
Private classes for sports teams and athletes, or groups such as youth groups can also be provided. Sporting teams and athletes may find that including some yoga classes in their training schedule will help prevent injury and give psychological relief. Past clients for these classes include the Adelaide Crows and Olympians. Please contact us for group rates.
