Somatic Yoga & Coaching
Hi, I’m Eleanor. I help my clients work through issues such as stress, anxiety, chronic disorders and low self-esteem.
My somatic yoga classes teach you the foundational skills for this healing: how to relax and become more self-aware in the present moment.
Somatic coaching takes this work to the next level with psychological, emotional and energetic processing.
The Stress Epidemic
The World Health Organisation deemed stress to be the health epidemic of the 21st Century. Even people who don’t describe themselves as stressed will often have physiological markers of stress, including elevated heart rate, shallow breathing and inflammation. Being stuck in this gear causes or exacerbates all chronic disorders, so I’ve found that learning to rewire stress patterns is the most powerful approach to healing.
How can I help you?
I can help you reprogramme your stress patterns at the level of body and mind. My somatic yoga classes teach you how to slow down, let go of holding patterns, and move and breathe with ease.
1-to-1 yoga offers mentorship through the development of your unique yoga practice, which is essentially a path of connecting with your true nature. This may include physical, emotional and spiritual inquiries, tools and discourses.
Teamed with this kind of regular self-regulation practice, 1-to-1 somatic coaching with me gives you the chance to unpack the psychological patterns and internal narratives that keep you stuck in these cycles.
Who is this work for?
My clients are sick of being held back by stress, anxiety, chronic body issues, or a lack of purpose.
People turn to me when they’ve been down the medical route or tried all the self-help advice but still can’t shake these patterns. You’re one of these people if you also have a deep desire to reach for your potential in this life, and are ready to explore new ways to truly shift your limiting patterns at the root.
You can join my Surbiton community class in person, otherwise see my online somatic yoga + coaching options.
Want to try a somatic practice for sleep?
You can purchase my audio file ‘Somatic Sleep Practice’ to be guided through a bedtime mind-body sequence of very gentle movement, breathing and embodied meditation.

What does ‘somatic’ mean?
‘Soma’ means body, and ‘somatics’ is the study of the embodied experience of your body. This involves developing a sensitivity for subtle sensation in your body and awareness of your body in space (what we work on in my somatic yoga classes), as well as learning to allow emotion to move through your body (what we do in somatic coaching).
I’ve developed my own approach to somatic healing through tools and insights from my diverse study in yoga therapy, psychotherapy, remedial movement & massage, spiritual traditions, hypnotherapy and sports development.
