Meet Anji
"Soon after graduating as an Osteopath, I found that much of what I was sharing with my patients came from my yoga knowledge – how to move, how to breathe, how to find comfort whilst in discomfort.
A year after graduating I opened my own clinic and also began work in the NHS with patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). In 2016 I trialled a yoga-based programme in the NHS for CLBP. A multi-faceted yoga practice (movement, breath, relaxation, philosophy) can target many of the causes and symptoms of back pain.
After years of sharing this work with patients and students, I know how powerful it can be. It's such a joy to share this useful work with anyone who needs it - and I can't wait to share it with you."

Bringing together my knowledge of the body, osteopathy & pain with my yoga knowledge has been transformational – for me & for my patients & students.
