Why Yoga for Mental Health?

Research into yoga as a method to help alleviate symptoms of mental health conditions, as an adjunct to conventional medicine (not an alternative) has been positive.

Anxiety: Research shows that yoga can reduce stress and help build resilience to uncomfortable feelings.

Depression: Evidence points to a correlation between yoga practice and reduced cortisol levels (which can be elevated in those with depression). Yoga has also been linked with increased GABA neurotransmitters which may be reduced in cases of depression.

What Yogis Say

“Lucy worked with me a few years ago through some real complex and severe mental problems, listening and being really careful to adapt the practices to fit with my needs – she was always careful to listen to what my mental health team were advising and adapt accordingly. I found both the physical practice and the breathing practice very helpful in training my mind to increase calmness and clarity of thinking. The continuing practice in classes and one to one has helped me keep a more balanced state of mind, calm and happy. Thank you Lucy – you have been significant in my return to health” - Isabel - Scotland
I wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying this last term. I’ve surprised myself in that I’ve really loved the detail we’ve been looking at re the spine (most unlike me as I’m usually a big picture person) but I have found it so useful for my back and how it’s enhancing my yoga practice. I’ve even been doing the 5 minute back moving sequence every day and that’s not something I’ve ever achieved on a regular basis before ! So a big thank you for your great teaching and class structures - I know you put a lot of prep into your work. - YR
I have attended Lucy's weekly yoga classes for several years, and I can thoroughly recommend them for anyone looking for a refreshing, beneficial experience which combines mobility exercises, breath-work, meditation, and relaxation. Lucy is very attentive and aware of the differing needs of everyone in her classes, without being at all intrusive or over-bearing. The new Sunday morning workshops in Little Comberton Village Hall are a welcome addition to her offerings, and provide an opportunity to go deeper into some of the more subtle aspects of yoga. All in all, if you're looking for authentic yoga taught by an expert teacher, this is it. - JC
