YOGA AT UNIVERSAL PRACTICE – OUR PHILOSOPHY LIVES ON
While we no longer offer dedicated Yoga Classes, the philosophy of yoga remains woven throughout our approach to care. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing pain or building strength for the future, our focus is on helping you move with greater awareness, confidence and resilience.
Yoga has always been about more than movement.
Its foundations, mindfulness, breath, presence, alignment, flexibility and strength, have long influenced the way we approach health and rehabilitation at Universal Practice. These principles continue to shape how we assess, treat and guide our patients every day.
If you’re looking to improve flexibility, reduce pain, restore movement or build strength, we’d love to help you find the right starting point.
At Universal Practice, our Physiotherapists recognise the complexity and interconnectedness of our health. We continue to offer Individual Yoga with select physiotherapists to promote healing and health of the body, balances the emotions and creates a clear thinking mind.
Continue your healing & movement journey
Physiotherapy:
Our physiotherapists assess the underlying cause of pain or restriction and create an individualised treatment plan to help you move and feel your best. From an Initial Physiotherapy Appointment we can create a bespoke healing pathway for you, which may include a mix of hands on treatment, movement, Clinical Pilates and rehabilitation.
Reformer Pilates:
Our physiotherapist-led Reformer Pilates classes combine movement, control and progressive strength to improve posture, mobility, stability and confidence in movement.
Whether you’re beginning your rehabilitation journey or looking to maintain your health, our team is here to help you keep moving well.
Lead by Physiotherapists, Universal Practice Individual Yoga Sessions focus on alignment and correct technique from a clinical perspective, employing the use of props, such as ropes, blocks and bolsters as necessary. The session can be tailored to focus on specific parts of the body, allowing modifications for sensitive areas and injuries. Clients can also use these individual sessions to work towards the Ropes Yoga and Yoga Asana Classes or to create a Home Yoga Practice. This class lets you bring your own focus and is adapted to move at your own pace.
Lead by Physiotherapists, our clinically styled Ropes Yoga classes focus on alignment, strength and flexibility, employing the use of props, such as ropes and blocks to assist and support the body (ideal for those new to yoga). Classes are tailored by our Physiotherapists to focus on specific parts of the body for each individual, allowing modifications for sensitive areas and injuries. More like a traditional practice, with long-hold poses, this class lets you bring your own focus and modify at your own pace.
Lead by Physiotherapists, our Yoga Asana is a dynamic sequence of postures taught with a clinical application of anatomical and physiological knowledge. In line with the Sanskrit definition of yoga ‘to bind’, the physical postures (asanas) were designed to build physical strength, develop flexibility, and gain awareness of the breath. This class is the ultimate union of mind, body and spirit in one.
Pregnancy is the most important time in a women’s life to be looking after her mental and physical health.
Although this emotional, physiological and anatomical pathway is natural, there can be common and sometimes unwanted musculoskeletal imbalances related to stability, hormones, changes in body shape and lifestyle.
Physiotherapists are the industry experts in assessing and treating these imbalances. In conjunction to hands on Physiotherapy Treatment we offer Clinical Pilates and Ante and Post Natal Reformer Pilates and Yoga to assist women in keeping their body healthy through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Universal Practice Ante & Post Natal Yoga Classes are taught by Physiotherapists, and claimable on Private Health Insurance. These classes blend mindfulness, meditation, gentle mobility work and strengthening.
Yin Yoga is a blend of Yoga, Mindfulness and Chinese Medicine. Gentle poses are held for prolonged periods with care and caution, relaxing and surrendering the whole body in the present moment. Focussing on deep connective tissue, joints and ligaments. The class is accompanied with the healing vibrations of our gong and singing bowls.
30 minute Sound Meditation can be done seated or lying down. Our gong and singing bowls create sound vibrations, which travel through the air and when absorbed by your mind and body assist in relaxation, recovery and stress reduction. Ideal for those new to meditation.
You can wear whatever clothes you wish, but shoes must be left at the door.
