Japanese Yoga Classes
Our Japanese yoga classes follow the OKI-do tradition, using seasonal movements to align with meridian systems. Each session adapts to participants' needs, combining breathwork and dynamic poses to build strength, enhance flexibility, and promote mental calmness. This practice supports holistic health through individualised attention.
Private Yoga Tuition
Personalised tuition addresses specific health concerns through tailored yoga sequences. Sessions focus on corrective techniques for chronic issues like back pain, incorporating breath-awareness to reduce stress. Clients receive custom programs for home practice, ensuring sustained benefits and measurable improvements in physical and mental well-being within weeks.
Corrective Yoga Program
This program combines yoga therapy with diagnostic assessments to create individualised treatment plans. Focusing on physical and emotional imbalances, it uses targeted movements and breathing techniques to restore bodily harmony. Designed for home practice, it requires 10-15 minutes daily commitment, delivering noticeable results in as little as two weeks.
Zen Shiatsu Treatment
Zen Shiatsu involves hands-on therapy using pressure from palms, elbows, and feet to stimulate meridians. This treatment alleviates pain, reduces stress, and improves circulation while promoting natural healing. Sessions last 75 minutes, leaving clients with prolonged feelings of relaxation and enhanced well-being through holistic bodywork.
Seasonal Workshops
Seasonal workshops combine yoga intensives with nutritional guidance, aligning practices with environmental changes. These multi-day events focus on detoxification, strength-building, and mental rejuvenation through active movement and breathwork. Participants gain practical tools for maintaining balance during seasonal transitions, enhancing both physical resilience and emotional stability.

Louisa's Surfers classes are all time! Strength, flexibility, intuition, reaction, balance have all improved out of sight in only 6 months. The other classes are great too and the full week intensives are second to none for getting back on track, healthy eating & taking your fitness and flexibility to a new level. Thanks Louisa!

After 6 years I still get surprised how great I feel after doing a Yoga class with Louisa and her team at Lunge. Even if it was a struggle to get to class, I always leave feeling lighter in my body, gentler in my mind. Also at Lunge it is a wonderful community of people of all ages, shapes, styles, personalities not at all intimidating to attend

I attend four classes per week at Lunge Yoga to help me feel healthy, fit, relaxed and mentally clear. Lunge yoga attracts people who are interesting and dedicated to their yoga habits. I would not have the strength I have without the benefits gained from postures taught under Louisa's guidance. She is an exceptional teacher.

Louisa and her teaching of Ryoho Yoga is a masterful mix of holistic self-awareness, personal growth And development on so Many levels. Each class is an opportunity to learn more and to strive for better, one leg lift at a time...or a hip raise or a powerful bridge. I look forward to every class.
