Because: A strong core should happen naturally...

But so should ideal posture...

As should moving with ease into old-age...

The problem is that most of us adults, in the modern world, have 'forgotten' the intrinsic natural ease of naturally connecting to our core; of strong, dynamic movement – because of the lifestyles we live…

  • Our posture suffers from both the ease and demands of modern life

  • Consequently our movements are compromised, often without us realising

  • Leading to injury and complaints in the back, hips, pelvic floor, shoulders, even feet...

With targeted hip and glute work to re-balance strength and mobility, my clients have found relief from hip pain that has held them back for too long. Like Ovo and Faye:

Ovo

...all I can say is wow! Having suffered from piriformis issues for a couple of years due to weight training, I’m feeling so much better already. Thanks a lot Helen!

Faye

Gosh, you’re good Helen! Clear and simple instruction, explaining exactly what, how and where I should be feeling these exercises. I wish I’d found you sooner!

With a core-centric approach to whole-body movement, others have developed their core and glute power and overall posture, like Cathryn and Jo:

Cathryn

My glutes and core are so much stronger and my physical awareness of posture and movement is far more than ever before

Jo

I have gained significantly more core strength and my body shape and tone has dramatically improved.

To ultimately go from little-to-no wholebody strength or movement mojo, to loving daily yoga and the feeling it gives them. Like Vicky:

Vicky
Feeling so strong! Yoga is something that's everyday in my life now.

I'm so happy to be feeling so strong! I’m even running again! Yoga is something that's everyday in my life now. I love the strengthening, and then the recovery! I've learned from you how to look after my body in a way I never knew before. Thank you for all you share with the world 💖

...and be free from debilitating pain, to moving their whole-body freely with confidence – and loving an active life! Like Michelle:

Michelle
Here I am, aged 51 moving pain-free – and enjoying running!!

Never thought I would be able to do this but thanks to your yoga classes and amazing teaching, here I am, aged 51 moving pain-free – and enjoying running!! Went to my Chiropractor this week and my lower back is now stable, upper back is stable and shoulders are stronger – mainly thanks to your expert, intentional classes

So yes, let’s fix your hip/ glute/ back pain, if that’s what you’re feeling.

But, everything is connected to our core, which is why ultimately we need to focus on full-body strength, mobility and flexibility, from the core out, to restore full-body 'connection', posture and natural movement.

And that’s what we do in the Connected Yoga Method via 4 game-changing programs, designed for what you need at each stage of your movement journey.
