Acu-Yoga Therapy is a holistic approach to well-being combining the eastern healing practices of accupressure, yoga, meditation and massage. Using the knowledge of pressure points and the human energy system, we try to uncover the root of ill-health and develop an individual treatment.

By combining the healing therapies of acupressure, yoga, shiatsu and meditation, a powerful resonance is created to maximise well-being and promote a deep healing.
