You don't have to do this alone

Managing blood sugar is a daily job. Yoga can be one gentle, sustainable thing you add to your week, never something that replaces what your doctor has you doing.

Why it works

How yoga can support diabetes.

Four gentle levers, working together, and the first one does most of the lifting.

01

Movement uses up sugar

When your muscles work, they draw glucose from your blood. Gentle, regular movement is the heart of every session.

02

Calmer mind, steadier sugar

Stress can nudge blood sugar upward. Breathwork and relaxation help quiet that response.

03

Supports a healthy weight

Consistent, sustainable activity supports weight management, which matters a great deal in type 2 diabetes.

04

Better sleep, better days

Poor sleep makes blood sugar harder to manage. Restful practice helps you wind down and rest more deeply.

What you'll actually do

The poses we focus on, and why.

Grouped by what they do for the body. Your teacher draws from these, and won't ask you to do all of them.

Gentle movementThe strongest lever: working muscles use up glucose.
Surya Namaskar
Sun salutation

A flowing sequence, paced to you, that warms the whole body and gets you moving. A chair version is always available.

Tadasana
Mountain pose & standing flow

Grounding, balance, and posture work to begin exactly where your body is today.

Setu Bandhasana
Bridge pose

A gentle lift that builds strength through the legs and back without strain.

Abdominal asanasTraditionally used to gently work the belly and aid digestion.
Ardha Matsyendrasana
Seated spinal twist

A gentle twist through the midsection that aids digestion and eases stiffness.

Paschimottanasana
Seated forward bend

A calming fold that draws in the abdomen and quiets a busy mind.

Mandukasana
Frog pose

A classic belly-focused posture long used in traditional yoga therapy.

Vajrasana
Thunderbolt pose

One of the few poses you can hold right after a meal to aid digestion.

BreathworkCalming the stress response that can push sugar up.
Nadi Shodhana
Alternate-nostril breathing

Slow, even breathing that settles the nervous system.

Bhramari
Humming breath

A soothing, low exhale that helps unwind tension.

Stronger practices like Kapalbhati are introduced only after your teacher checks they're right for you. They're skipped if you also have high blood pressure or a heart condition.

Deep restGood rest supports calmer, steadier days.
Yoga Nidra
Guided deep relaxation

Restorative rest that releases tension and supports better sleep.

Shavasana
Final relaxation

A still close to every session, letting everything you've done settle in.

Your teacher won't hand you all of these. They'll choose the right few for your body, your level, and how you're feeling that day.

Working together

How we work with you to get there.

One teacher who knows your name and your goals, not a different face every week.

1

We get to know you

A relaxed first session: your diagnosis, what your doctor advises, your routine, fitness, and anything to work around, such as foot sensitivity, eye or blood-pressure concerns.

2

A plan shaped to you

Your teacher chooses the poses, pace, and timing that suit you, chair options and after-meal timing included.

3

Guided live 1:1s

The same teacher every time, online, adjusting each session to how you feel and what your week has been like.

4

We grow it gently

Small, steady progress and habits you can actually keep, always alongside your medical care.

What a session looks like

  • A short check-in on how you feel, including any signs of a low
  • Best practised after eating (not fasting, and not right after medication) with a quick sugar source nearby
  • Gentle, low-impact, foot-friendly movement at a pace that suits you
  • Simple, comfortable breathing and relaxation practices
  • A calm wind-down to leave you feeling steady

Who it's for

Adults who want to support a healthy, active routine, keep moving gently, and ease everyday stress, at any level of fitness or flexibility.

What you'll need

A yoga matA sturdy chairA quiet corner
I started after my type 2 diagnosis, nervous about getting it wrong. My teacher built everything around me, even what time of day to practise. A few months in, I just feel steadier, and I actually look forward to it.

Yoga supports your care, it doesn't replace it

These sessions support your overall wellbeing and are practised alongside professional medical care. They are not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or medication. Please tell your teacher about any conditions or symptoms so they can adapt your session safely, and keep your doctor in the loop.
