Welcome to MS Yoga Therapy for You, a wellness programme in Bury, New Zealand, led by Olivia Rigby, a qualified and experienced yoga therapist. With over 20 years of teaching and practising yoga therapy, Olivia has witnessed numerous changes in the field and continues to adapt her methods to meet the evolving needs of her clients. In addition to in-person classes, Olivia now offers online zoom sessions and specialises in working with individuals over 50, as well as those with multiple sclerosis (MS).
As a perpetual student, Olivia is committed to ongoing learning about the human body and how yoga therapy can be used to enhance its functioning. Her teaching philosophy revolves around the simple yet powerful instruction of “listen to your body,” which she imparts to all her students and incorporates into her own personal practise.
Yoga therapy, as explained by Olivia, is focused on the health benefits derived from various yoga practises. By combining postures, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, meditation, sound work, and yoga philosophy, Olivia tailors her yoga therapy sessions to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. This personalised approach empowers her clients to progress towards improved health and wellbeing.
In addition to her regular classes held in and around the Bury area, Olivia provides online classes via zoom. Her schedule is readily available, allowing individuals to find a class that suits their needs. To further support the development of a home practise, Olivia also offers accessible and easy-to-follow yoga videos on her website.
Yoga therapy has deeply influenced Olivia's life, serving as a valuable tool in her personal healing journey. Not only has it helped her navigate through physical health challenges, but it has also provided solace during emotional and life crises. As a result, Olivia fully embodies the essence of yoga therapy and brings her passion, knowledge, and personal experiences to every client she works with.
With a family history of yoga practitioners and her own early exposure to the practise, Olivia's connexion to yoga runs deep. It has become her career and a reliable source of support, helping her maintain physical movement, cultivate inner calm, and offer respite from life's challenges. Drawing from her own experiences, Olivia is dedicated to helping others discover the transformative power of yoga therapy in their own lives.
