Practising in hatha yoga for over a decade—beginning with meditation at Kagyu Samye Dzong Tibetan Buddhist Centre and continued meditation & āsana practice at the London Buddhist Centre—Iria completed her two-year hatha teacher training at triyoga in 2018. She later qualified in Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain under Vicky Arundel and Nikki Jackson, with whom she continues to train.

To deepen her hands-on work with the body, she earned a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy from the ISRM, helping explore healing mechanisms through touch. In order to build her knowledge and bring this into clinical practice, she went on to complete her Master of Osteopathy at the University College of Osteopathy, Health Sciences University, London. Now a registered osteopath, she fluidly integrates structural, cranial, and soft tissue approaches with movement therapy to support health, understanding and wellbeing.

She continues to be mentored by renowned osteopaths Lynn Haller, Zenna Zwierzchowska and Daniel Orchard, with whom she works as part of the NHS Chronic Pain referral programme for the borough of Hackney at Core Clapton.

Her practice is rooted in the understanding that mind and body are inextricably linked, impacting physiology and therefore its physical expression. She particularly enjoys finding ways to expand capacity and better support the demands placed on the body—whether working with athletes or simply the daily challenges of life when disrupted.

She is immensely grateful for the traditions and teachers, past and present, inspiring a mindful, informed and embodied approach to health and clinical practice.

Iria is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and is an accredited member of the British Wheel of Yoga and the SMA Association for Soft Tissue Therapists.
