Therapeutic movement
Yoga & Movement
Gentle, therapeutic yoga designed for bodies that have been through something. These sessions are not about performance or pushing through discomfort ... they are about rebuilding trust in your body, gently, safely, and at exactly the pace that is right for you.

What to expect
Your sessions, explained
Initial Assessment
We begin by understanding your body's current capacity, any medical considerations, and what you most want from movement. No yoga experience required.
Adapted Practice
Each session is tailored to your body on that day ... using props, chair-based options, breathwork, and gentle sequencing to make movement accessible.
Nervous System Focus
Sessions incorporate breathwork and regulation to help you feel safe and grounded ... not just physically stronger.
Ongoing Support
Sessions can stand alone or complement individual counselling, weaving physical and emotional healing together.
The approach
Movement as medicine
Fionna is a certified yoga teacher with a background in neuroscience and chronic health support. Sessions draw on therapeutic yoga principles, trauma-sensitive practice, and an understanding of how the nervous system responds to movement.
The focus is always on what feels safe and nourishing for your body today. Progress is measured in how you feel, not what you can achieve.

@morethancounsellingMore than a yoga class
More than a yoga class
These classes are grounded in yoga and emotional anatomy — designed to support your nervous system, not push past it. Whether you’re managing a health condition, recovering from burnout, or simply looking for a gentler way to move, this is a space where your body doesn’t need to perform.
Movement is explored as a way to reconnect — with breath, with sensation, and with what your body is actually asking for. There’s no pressure to keep up, and every class is adapted to meet you where you are.
Who group classes are for
You don’t need to be flexible, fit, or experienced
These classes are all levels and are especially suited for people who are:
- Living with a chronic illness or health condition
- Seniors looking for gentle, supported movement
- In recovery or rehabilitation and wanting to reconnect with their body safely
- Navigating fatigue, pain, or reduced mobility
- Feeling disconnected from their body after a difficult time
- Curious about how yoga can support emotional and nervous system wellbeing
