Birdsong Yoga Physio is a place for people with palliative, long term and incurable illnesses to come to explore movement and reconnect with their breath by working with Yvonne, a physiotherapist and yoga teacher.

Yoga and physiotherapy can improve a number of symptoms that people with these illnesses often suffer from. It can help joint pains and stiffness; muscle weakness; loss of balance; anxiety and breathlessness; and some people feel it can lift their mood and balance their emotions.

There is no expectation or need to be able to be 'superflexible' or 'an amazing gymnast' to come to Birdsong Yoga Physio - it is specifically designed for people with palliative illnesses and a variety of physical abilities and 'If you can breathe, you can do yoga’
