Hatha Yoga

Rather than being a style of yoga as such, Hatha describes any kind of yoga where poses (asanas) are practised, this would include Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Iyengar yoga to name a few popular styles.

What's the difference between hatha yoga and vinyasa? Compared to vinyasa classes, which often flow through a series of poses at a quick clip, Hatha classes guide practitioners through postures at a slower pace with more guidance on how to do each pose correctly.

Hatha is great for a wide variety of people—especially beginners—as you don't need much prior knowledge or experience to hit the mat.

Alpa is a certified practitioner of RTT®, a therapeutic approach that uses powerful, evidence-based techniques to provide people with the tools they need to make positive changes.

The roots of RTT® are drawn from within areas of traditional psychotherapy such as gestalt, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness.

Its personalized approach works with clients to help them reframe any negative beliefs, values, habits and emotions – many of which they have carried with them since childhood.

Unlike traditional hypnotherapy, RTT® does not rely solely on positive reinforcement. RTT® goes beyond this and focuses on identifying how, where and when unhelpful beliefs and behaviours were formed. It then utilizes the leading scientific principles of neuroplasticity to enable the creation of new neural pathways in the mind.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy massage is used for a variety of different reasons, including relaxation, pain management, and improved mood. These are also some of the basic benefits of massage therapy. Adding essential oils is thought to enhance such benefits.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is manual manipulation of the muscles geared specifically toward helping people who have physically demanding lifestyles and/or hobbies. This kind of therapeutic massage considers the impact of certain activities on specific joints, muscle groups, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue groups. The conscious focus of sports massage therapy maximizes the benefit of certain massage techniques and supports further physical exertion and activity.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a holistic treatment based on the principle that there are areas and points on the feet, hands, and ears that map via the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas and points it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels, and helps to restore homeostasis (balance) in the whole body. Reflexology is known as Zone Therapy in countries other than the UK.
