Yoga

Personalised sessions that blend movement, breathwork and relaxation. Led by an experienced practitioner at IDOS, tailored to your goals, whether that’s easing stiffness, improving posture, building strength or finding calm.

Yoga shaped around you

Dr Freda Summerfield offers one-to-one inclusive yoga sessions, tailored to each client’s mental and physical health. Her approach integrates mindfulness, strength, movement, and breath work for whole person wellbeing.

We start with a short conversation about how you feel and what you’d like to change. Your practitioner then builds a session that fits your body and your day, gentle mobility, strength work, targeted stretching, breathing techniques and simple practices to use at home. You won’t need to be flexible or experienced; we’ll meet you where you are and progress at a pace that feels safe.

Who it’s for: People who want individual guidance, complete beginners, those returning after injury, desk‑based workers with aches and tightness, or anyone looking for a calmer mind and easier movement.

How the programme works

Each appointment includes a quick check‑in, tailored movement and breathwork, and a few take‑home ideas. We can coordinate with your IDOS GP, sleep or therapy team if that would help your goals. Typical structure:

  • Assessment & first session: posture and movement check, gentle sequences, breath awareness and relaxation.
  • Follow‑ups: progress your plan, mobility for hips/shoulders/spine, core and balance work, restorative options on tougher days.
  • At‑home support: short routines (5–15 minutes) and habit tips that fit real life.

What to bring

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Mats and props are available at the clinic, but feel free to bring your own. Eat light in the two hours before your session and tell us about any injuries, medical conditions or pregnancy so we can adapt everything for you.

One‑to‑one Yoga – FAQ

If your question isn’t answered below, please contact us directly. We’ll be happy to advise the safest next step.
If you are in the UK and have urgent or emergency symptoms use NHS 111 or call 999.

Is one‑to‑one yoga suitable for beginners or if I’m not flexible?

Absolutely. Sessions are designed for your starting point. We use props and easy modifications so movements feel comfortable and achievable.

Many people find that slow movement, breathwork and guided relaxation improve how calm they feel and support better sleep. We’ll show you simple practices to use at home. (Yoga is complementary, not a substitute for medical care.)

Most people notice benefits within a few sessions. Appointments are typically 45–60 minutes. We’ll agree a plan that might start weekly and then taper as you build confidence.

Is yoga safe if I have back, shoulder or knee issues?

Yes, with the right adaptations. Tell us about any conditions or past injuries. We’ll avoid aggravating positions and focus on gentle strength, mobility and posture.

Comfortable layers you can move in; bare feet or grippy socks are fine. We provide mats and props, and water is available. Bring any relevant medical information if you’re working alongside clinical care.

It’s tailored to you. We move at your pace, spend time on what matters most, and adjust technique in real time. You’ll leave with a short, personalised routine for home use.

Not sure if one‑to‑one yoga is right for you?

Tell us your goals and any concerns, we’ll advise whether yoga, complementary therapy or a GP appointment is the best starting point.
