SALLY GARDNER
ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome!
My name is Sally Gardner, and I am a devoted student and practitioner of yoga, a qualified 500hr+ yoga teacher, somatic movement instructor, yoga nidrā facilitator and an 850hr yoga therapist in training with The Yoga Therapy Institute, Amsterdam.
As a yoga teacher and facilitator, I am passionate about empowering people to move through life with greater strength, vitality and ease so that they are able to make the most of the life they cherish. With a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology and mind-body practises, I create personalised programmes to not only strengthen bodies and reduce stress but to enhance whole-person health and well-being. Working with me will include down-to-earth and practical guidance, evidence-informed and creative practices, as well as a warm and compassionate therapeutic relationship.
While selected cases are overseen by my supervisors at The Yoga Therapy Institute, as part of my continued training and to ensure that you receive the best possible care and support, I want to assure you that all cases presented are kept anonymous and are only shared with your approval. As a student of The Yoga Therapy Institute and a student member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, I follow and am held to their professional code of ethics and responsibilities in all of my work.
ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः
oṃ śānti śānti śāntiḥ
(Om, peace in me, peace in nature, peace in the universe)
