1-on-1 Embodied Sessions | Yoga Therapy Wellington

1 - on - 1 Embodied Sessions

Personalised, holistic sessions designed around YOU.

I see the body as adaptive and intelligent. Many movement patterns and stress responses are ways the body has learned to cope. Through movement-based somatic practice and mind-body support, my role is to help you understand these patterns and gently create new options.

1:1 sessions allows us to explore posture, breathing patterns, stress responses, and movement habits in more depth. Sessions may support:

Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress
Injury recovery and mobility
Support through a difficult illness or long-term diagnosis
Posture and ongoing tension
Women’s wellness, motherhood, and life transitions
Reconnection after periods of disconnection or burnout

I’m endlessly curious, always learning, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. What I do bring is deep presence, experience, and a genuine respect for each person I work with. This work isn’t a quick fix. It’s for people who are ready to reconnect with themselves and understand that sustainable change takes time.

“Helps me feel that it’s enough to be where I am.”

What some people have experienced:

"Salena has such a warmth and calmness about her that immediately put me at ease. Her thoughtful wisdom and gentle guidance has helped me identify and manage factors in my life such as stress and anxiety. I have benefited significantly from my sessions with her. I continue to use her practical strategies in my day to day life that help me find balance and calm amidst the busyness of my day. Salena's advice and techniques have given me an improved sense of overall health and well being. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to achieve the same". ~ Emma.

"I would not be an easy client for a yoga teacher – I have multiple sclerosis and ruptured a disk which required surgery. This combination makes it difficult for me and also health practitioners to work out whether a symptom is MS-related or due to my back injury.

When I started seeing Salena for 1-on-1 sessions, I could barely walk from my car to her studio, due to physical issues as well as a lack of mental confidence in my ability to walk. A year on – I now easily make it to the studio due to the confidence she has inspired in me physically and emotionally.

She is wise beyond her years and has a real calmness about her. For me this has meant that I can trust her entirely and have confidence in her recommendations to me". - Susan
