Do you feel your body is holding you back? Would you like to move more efficiently? Are you having problems with back pain, foot, knee, hip problems. Tish from Anoushka’s Yoga is training with AiM (Anatomy in Motion) using revolutionary techniques to ease or completely eliminate movement problems quickly and efficiently. The technique is a new form of gait therapy (how you move when you walk) using 3d movement to subconsciously change the way your body moves and break through any physical barriers.
We all have various imbalances in the body. Left to grow, these can cause injury and pain. Through AiM techniques we bring the body back to centre by correcting poor gait habits. You literally walk out of the session with improved movement and improved function across the whole body.
What happens in a session?
Tish will assess how you walk in bare feet and do a series of static and dynamic tests to see the imbalances in the body. This in itself is enlightening as it gives you a much greater awareness of how you move. You may now understand why your shoes have burnt out on one side.
You will then be taken through a series of 3d exercises to correct these imbalances, taking the body back to it’s natural state of fluid, pain free movement. Effectively we correct how you walk. You will walk out of the session, with your body having naturally taken these changes on board.
The session may include some hard work but you will have the knowledge you have improved performance throughout your whole body. It may also include a thai foot massage, assessing movement through the foot.
For more information, please call Tish on 07887850882 or email: info@anoushkasyoga.com.
Tish is working with Anatomy in Motion at Level 3.

So how can yoga help you?
Yoga is a science of life that has been around for thousands of years. Nothing lasts that test of time if there weren’t many benefits to the practice for literally every aspect of your life. Hatha yoga (the physical side of the practice) is a therapeutic science working the body and mind. So maybe you are looking to ease back pain, maybe improve your digestion, find a way through anxiety and stress, or even find a way to make a decision in your life about a relationship or work related issues.
How does it work?
The practice of the physical poses are much more rewarding than just physical exercise. But the practice starts with something you know…movement. The poses are three dimensional, so on a physical level they will take you through the full range of your physical ability and improve on this. Perhaps you sit for most of day at a desk job and find your shoulders are tight or hamstrings scream when you go for a run. Through the poses we take you through a range of poses to literally open up and bring freedom of movement. The many twists we perform help to reduce stiffness and detox the body through squeezing into the organs. This has the added benefit of kicking your digestion into action. And then there is so much more. Through yoga poses we come to understand how we feel from the inside out. Maybe a balance helps you to focus or concentrate, or you find an inversion or forward bend not only improves your posture, but calms you down and reduces anxiety. Through one class you may notice a difference in how you feel or hold yourself. You may discover this gives you a great night’s sleep or helps you relax. And perhaps your partner will notice a difference in how you nice you are to be around after a yoga practice.
To find out more attend a yoga class in Earlsfield. Each class brings something different and with small classes you really get to know how you work and what is best for you.
If you have something specific you wish to go through, book a private class with Tish. She works from improving movement in the foot to using yoga to find stillness and that inner smile.
