There was an article in the Sunday Times Magazine this week chronicling the fluctuating ‘ideals’ for women’s bodies. What would happen if we stopped fetishizing different shapes of body and instead asked: ‘What makes my body feel good?’

One of the beautiful tools I use in my work is Yoga Nidra. Here is a recording of a Yoga Nidra that I made with the intention of helping children find a sense of safety and ease in body and mind so that they can relax into a peaceful night’s sleep.

I was delighted to read an article about Bessel van der Kolk in the Guardian’s G2 yesterday. He was interviewed because his book The Body Keeps the Score has become a huge pandemic hit, topping bestseller lists this summer.

It can be helpful and reassuring to know the process when starting something new. So if you’re considering one-to-one Yoga Therapy for your child or young person, here is a rough outline of how I work.

Which type of therapy do you choose when your child is facing mental health challenges? Talking therapies? Play Therapy? Music, Art or Drama Therapy? Or perhaps Yoga Therapy? It’s a very good question.
