Alignment Yoga Practitioner
Yoga Teacher & Physiotherapist

Neesha is a highly experienced yoga teacher with over 8 years of teaching and a Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy Practice. She has undertaken many advanced yoga teacher training and specialises in BackMitra Yoga—a therapeutic approach using a specially designed foam prop that supports spinal alignment and deep relaxation.

Through her own practice, Neesha continues to experience the transformational qualities of yoga for her physical, mental, energetic, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Her teaching is rooted in anatomical precision and a heartfelt commitment to supporting students to practice safely and comfortably. Her classes focus on structural alignment, inviting participants to deeply connect with their bodies whilst being closely supported.

What is BackMitra Yoga?

This style of Yoga is a restorative practice that integrates slow Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga, which uniquely utalised the BackMitra prop. This foam tool is designed to gently relieve spinal tension, improve spinal alignment and postural awareness, and support the nervous system.

Benefits of BackMitra Yoga include:

  • Nervous system regulation: Encourages parasympathetic (rest and digest) activation

  • Improved breathing: Expands the diaphragm and rib cage, allowing deeper breaths

  •  Musculoskeletal support: Can help to relieve lower back pain, neck and shoulder discomfort
