Meet Reyoga and Susannah

 

I started Reyoga in 2008 to serve corporate clients in London. In 2012 it was replanted in the Darent Valley, Kent where its roots continue to grow ever deeper and wider. We are a friendly group with pretty deep love for place and community - and yoga! Regular classes run from a comfortable, dedicated studio in Eynsford, Kent - convenient to Sevenoaks, Dartford and Orpington. Get in touch to find out more…

 
Susannah McCarthy yoga therapist
 
 

My somatics background includes dance, 25 years of yoga and 17 years of teaching with the British Wheel of Yoga. After specialising in pregnancy yoga and yoga for back pain while teaching a committed body of students in general classes, I began to understand how life, with its joys and challenges is truly experienced through the body. Yoga therapy called. As a yoga therapist, I discovered that psychological distress within embodied health conditions often needs to be explored. Having personally experienced the healing and growth potential through both yoga and good depth psychotherapy, I knew that psychotherapy and yoga work synergistically. They are a natural fit where improved well-being and further self-development are needed. Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy is a truly ‘whole’ answer to this need.

I now offer yoga therapy, psychotherapy as well as yoga classes and creative events which foster community and connection.

 

What can I say, I love trees and feel happiest under a canopy of leaves. My postgrad background in environmental literature, training as an outdoor mindfulness guide and personal, spiritual connection with the earth weave into my yoga teaching, therapy and events. I love facilitating others in finding connections in embodiment and the wild world.
