About Ayurveda
Ayurveda evolved in India, and is considered to be the world’s oldest healthcare system. It is the sister science of Yoga.
The Sanskrit word Ayurveda means the ‘science of life’. An Ayurvedic approach is entirely holistic. It aims to create harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, maintaining balance, preventing illness, treating acute conditions, and contributing to a long and healthy life.
“Ayurveda uses cyclical wisdom, natures cycles of the sun and moon, day and night, shifting seasons, life stages and the body and minds natural rhythms and cycles.”
Ayurveda is not a “one-size-fits-all” system. Instead, its regimens are tailored to each person’s unique prakriti (Ayurvedic constitution), taking into account his or her needs for nutrition, exercise, personal hygiene, social interaction, and other lifestyle elements. Ayurvedic practices incorporate diet, cleansing, herbs, physical Yoga exercises, breathing, meditation and massage therapy.
I had a vasti session due to pain in my hip. I am so happy to report that I woke up without pain the next day and it’s been pain free all weekend! Virginia was so kind and thoughtful. I’ll definitely come for more sessions.

About Yoga
Yoga originated in India around 5,000 years ago. The word Yoga is a Sanskrit word which translates as ‘union’ or ‘joining’.
“I view Yoga as a therapeutic tool and use it in client sessions to balance the body and mind.”
Yoga can be adapted for all, whatever your ability. Yoga incorporates more than just stretching and moving, it is also breathwork, meditation and relaxation. You will find within this practice an acceptance, regardless of your experience or capabilities. Yoga with Virginia includes all Yoga techniques, particularly Pranayama (breathing) and Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation).
Thanks so much for the yoga session. I’ve been doing some sessions online but having you there guiding us through was a whole different experience. Loved it and felt really energised and calm afterwards.

Virginia is a wonderful lady, with one of most gentle dispositions I have ever met. She has a real passion for yoga, Ayurveda, massages and the wellbeing of her friends and community. I have had the pleasure of participating in her face to face yoga sessions with the view of the sea and small zoom yoga groups both of which have been fantastic. Virginia has magical healing hands after having one of the best ever full body massages.

I just want to say a big thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
I walked in burnt out and exhausted,
feeling I just didn’t have the energy for life.
I am walking out with a renewed sense of self
and energy for life.”
