What JYŌ is

Some things are built from ideas.
JYŌ was built from experience.

It began at the intersection of two educations — the scientific and the lived. Years inside cancer research and evidence-based health. And alongside that, the quieter education of going through things: injury, recovery, hormonal change, the particular disruption of arriving somewhere new and having to begin again.

Each of those experiences asked the same question. Not how to push through — but how to move through. With knowledge. With care. With a body you can trust again.

JYŌ Health was created for that moment — whenever it arrives. Movement that meets you where you are, science that explains what is actually happening, and community that holds you through it.

Three offerings. One philosophy.

Every path through JYŌ begins with where you are.

JYŌ Health

JYŌ Movement

Finding strength
through life's
changes.

Whether you are recovering from injury, navigating hormonal change, or simply arriving at a moment when you want a more sustainable relationship with your body — JYŌ Movement begins with where you are, not where you think you should be.

Rooted in yoga, functional movement and the science of how the body actually adapts, every session is designed to build strength, restore mobility and rebuild trust — one practice at a time.

Life changes we work with

Not a list of conditions. A recognition of transitions.

Every body goes through change. JYŌ Movement is designed for the moments when that change requires a different kind of attention.

Hormonal shifts
Perimenopause, menopause, andropause, post-pregnancy — the body's chemistry changes, and movement changes with it.
Injury and surgery recovery
Rebuilding trust in a body that has been through something hard. Movement as a path back, not a test of performance.
Burnout and chronic stress
Returning to the body after a period of disconnection, overwork or emotional exhaustion. Nervous system first.
Ageing and physical change
Muscle, bone, balance, mobility. Ageing well — not as decline to resist, but as a new relationship to cultivate.
Post-illness recovery
Gentle, evidence-informed return to movement after illness, treatment or a long period of rest. At your pace.
Any moment of reset
Sometimes no single event — just a feeling that something needs to change. That is enough to begin.

CHF 800–1,400 / programme
The JYŌ difference

Science does not stay in the classroom.

After every session, a brief science note explains what has just happened in your body — which systems were activated, what the research shows, why this particular practice matters for where you are. Not to impress. To connect what you feel to what you now understand.

That is what makes JYŌ Movement different from a yoga class. The movement is the practice. The science is the foundation. Together, they build something that lasts.

JYŌ Fresh Start

Your health baseline
for a new
chapter.

Arriving somewhere new is one of the most underestimated physical experiences. A new country, a new routine, a new everything — the body registers all of it, long before the mind catches up.

JYŌ Fresh Start begins where you are. A health assessment on arrival. Ninety days of guided movement, habit and community. And a clear picture at the end of what has actually changed.

The journey

Four moments. Ninety days. One clear picture of change.

Day 1–14
Arrival baseline
A structured health assessment — physical, mental, lifestyle, and Swiss health readiness. Where you actually are, honestly measured.
Days 15–90
JYŌ programme
Daily movement practice, weekly science insight, Swiss health navigator, and a community of fellow newcomers walking the same path.
Day 45
Mid-point pulse
A lighter check-in — how are the habits holding? What needs adjusting? Motivation and programme recalibrated where needed.
Day 90
Delta report
The same assessment repeated. A personal report showing exactly what has shifted — energy, stress, habits, health system integration. Yours to keep.
What gets assessed

A wellness assessment, not a medical exam.

Using validated public-domain screening tools alongside JYŌ's own framework — precise, evidence-based, and always in the context of your whole life.

JYŌ Science

Understanding your body
through
evidence.

Most of us were never taught how our body actually works.

JYŌ Science changes that — one session at a time, in language that is precise without being impenetrable. Biochemistry, physiology and the science of behaviour, taught by someone who has spent years inside research and inside practice.

Open to everyone. No prior science knowledge required. Just curiosity about the body you live in.

Four formats

Science delivered the way it is most useful to you.

01
Masterclasses
Open to all — individual and group, live and online
A 90-minute deep dive into one topic. Evidence-based, accessible, with live Q&A. The fastest way to understand what is happening in your body — and why it matters.
CHF 40–80 / session
02
Corporate workshops
Teams, offsites, lunch + learns — mixed format
60–90 minutes for teams. Topics cover stress, sleep, habit formation and hormonal health — the science behind what affects performance and wellbeing at work. Optionally paired with a movement taster.
CHF 800–2,000 / session
03
Science series
Committed learners — 4–6 week structured curriculum
A curriculum that builds over four to six weeks. Each session deepens the last. Paired with a weekly movement practice and a community of fellow learners. Certificate of completion.
CHF 300–600 / series
04
Science retreat
Immersive — when the community is ready
Two to three days combining science sessions, morning movement, nature and community. The deepest expression of JYŌ Science — and the place where all JYŌ audiences come together. Launching year two.
CHF 800–1,500 / retreat
The curriculum

Nine topics. A complete picture of the body in change.

Each topic is available as a standalone masterclass or as part of the full Science series.

The stress-body connection
Cortisol, the HPA axis, and how chronic stress rewires metabolism and immunity — and what actually helps.
Hormones across the lifespan
How oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone shift across life stages — and how movement changes the equation.
The biology of habit formation
Dopamine loops, basal ganglia, and why the first 90 days are the most critical window for lasting change.
Sleep, recovery and repair
What the body does during deep sleep — and evidence-based interventions that genuinely improve it.
Inflammation — the silent driver
Chronic low-grade inflammation as a root of modern disease — and how movement, nutrition and sleep modulate it.
The nervous system and movement
Vagal tone, the parasympathetic response, and the actual biochemistry behind why yoga and breathwork work.
Injury, repair and resilience
Tissue healing, collagen remodelling, and how mindful movement accelerates recovery from injury or surgery.
Nutrition as information
Food as biochemical signalling. Gut-brain axis, microbiome, anti-inflammatory eating. No diet culture — just clarity.
Preventive health — the evidence
Which lifestyle interventions have robust clinical evidence — and how to use the Swiss health system proactively.
About JYŌ Health

Built at the intersection
of science
and lived experience.

JYŌ Health was not built from a business plan. It grew from a life — from the particular education of going through things. Years inside cancer research and evidence-based health. And alongside that, the quieter education of injury, hormonal change, and the experience of arriving somewhere new and having to begin again.

The story

Growing up in England with Indian roots, there was always an understanding that the body and mind are not separate systems. They are one — shaped together by movement, breath, awareness and the conditions of daily life.

Two ACL surgeries. Hormonal change. The experience of starting again in a new country. Each one a different kind of change — but each asking the same question: how do you find your way back to yourself?

The answer, each time, was the same. Not intensity. Not perfection. Consistency, awareness and learning to move with greater care. Yoga and mindful movement became more than practice — they became a way of rebuilding trust in a body that had been through something hard.

JYŌ Health was created at the intersection of those two educations — the scientific and the lived. It exists for anyone navigating a significant change: in their body, their health, their location, their stage of life.

The foundations
Biochemistry and cancer research
Years inside evidence-based health — understanding the complexity of the human body through a clinical and research lens. The foundation of everything JYŌ teaches and how it communicates science.
Yoga and movement practice
Yoga and mindful movement discovered not as fitness but as recovery — a way back to the body after surgery, hormonal change and transition. Taught from the inside out.
Lived experience of transition
Two ACL surgeries. Menopause. Relocation. Each one a different kind of change — and each one deepening the understanding of what people actually need when they are in the middle of something hard.
The name

JYŌ — from Jyoti.

The name JYŌ comes from Jyoti (ज्योति), the Sanskrit word for light — representing clarity, awareness and the quiet strength that guides us through life's transitions.
