Our approach is unique, blending modern science with time tested wisdom.

We have two clinics each with a different focus;

Pain and injury clinic

You’ve done the tests. Tried the supplements. Followed every “hormone balancing plan.” But you still wake up tired, bloated, foggy, dismissed by doctors saying it’s “just your age.”

The membership supports you to try yoga, go at your own pace and within your current capabilities. There is no competition or pressure to 'be the best at it', instead it encourages you to do what you can during each class and feel good about what you have achieved. Jo is a very caring and adaptive teacher.

I use the membership 2 or 3 times each day for a variety of yoga, meditation and breath work. It is excellent value for money and shifts my mood in no time (for the better of course). So good these days while working from home!

During these difficult Covid times being part of “something” is like coming home and getting a big hug and you know things, at some point will be good again! I would say “you are treated like family”

The membership gives a sense of connection to Jo; the yoga teacher, to the practise itself and to others who enjoy yoga. I have learnt a lot from Jo and I would recommend the membership to everyone and anyone! The membership has been enjoyed by my partner also. He too has joined a weekly zoom classes and the fun cooking classes that have been part of the membership also!

I have minimal experience of yoga before but Jo makes it so easy to follow and explains things really well. The membership is really good value and well worth it.

Never thought I'd ever be totally rid of my sciatic pain or lower back pain but your treatments have proved me wrong! Can't thank you enough.

Had my first yoga class here and really enjoyed it. My course was easy to book and when I arrived, I got a warm welcome. Jo has thought of everything: mats, blankets, bolsters, eye masks. She explained everything really clearly and made sure we were all completing the new moves correctly. I left feeling more knowledgeable about yoga and very relaxed. Had a great sleep after the evening class. I highly recommend.

I received a session of KCR from Kev. After my session I was amazed with the results which I received for migraine like symptoms. Kev was very informative and made me feel at ease during the session. 4 months later, I am still feeling the benefits from KCR after suffering symptoms for nearly 4 years and trying various medication and treatments! I would highly recommended KCR to anyone and Strength & Soul provides the perfect environment. I look forward to attending yoga sessions at the Barn in the near future!

Thank you Kev and Strength & Soul!!

My knee is feeling really good after your lower back and hips class. I love that I can go back to the library and practice again. I’m feeling A LOT better.

I’m now practicing yoga every day and feeling such a difference in my tight hips.

The membership has been a godsend during this time

I wasn't sure what to expect being a bit of a yoga novice but I thoroughly enjoy practising and surprised I could keep up. Ayuveda is so interesting and definitely something I want to look into further I would highly recommend for any yoga level or if you just want peace & quiet.

I wish I had implemented Ayurveda into my life much sooner

I attended a Yoga Day Retreat at The Barn. I wasn't sure what to expect being a bit of a yoga novice but I throughly enjoyed the day and didn't feel like I wasn't able to keep up!
Food provided by Kevin & Jo was delicious and the additional information about Ayurveda was so interesting and definitely something I want to look into further
Thank you so much Kevin & Jo for giving me a whole 6 hours away from my phone!
I would highly recommend for any yoga level or if you just want a few hours of peace & quiet xx

I went to a treatment session with Jo a couple of weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend. I actually went because of an issue with my neck and shoulders, however after a session with Jo lots of places that have hurt for so long I had stopped noticing were better. In particular, I've had my first Pain free runs since having children, which I think is to do with pelvic realignment. I've also been attending yoga classes with Jo and have found my overall flexibility and mobility improved. Thank you Jo, would recommend to anyone considering KCR!

I’ve been going to The Barn for a few years now I really love the yoga classes here. The studio is lovely and so relaxing plus Jo is an amazing teacher. She makes you feel really welcome and she is so encouraging.
It’s a big thumbs up from me 👍

I suffer with chronic back pain from accidents I had years ago and I have now had 2 treatment sessions with Kev and I can honestly say I've never felt this good in years

My 2nd treatment and ankle is better than ever (after a bad sprain affected movement). Also lower back pain gone so sleeping right through the night without waking because I’m uncomfortable.
Thanks Jo

I have just finished my introduction to yoga block and I loved it! The class was perfect for beginners and left me feeling confident in progressing my yoga practice. I looked forward to class every week

First visit today with Kev, and he managed to sort out a problem I have had with a displaced hip since birth that no one has ever tried to cure. Great start totally impressed. Well worth it.
Thanks Kev

I just wanted to say being a complete beginner to yoga I wasn't sure what to expect and after the first week I questioned if it was for me after being sick but each week I am enjoying it more and more.

You are excellent at what you do and I'd just like to say thank you for starting me on my yoga journey and for the information you sent.

A simply fantastic weekend, truly inspirational. Thank you Kev & Jo.

Such an amazing memory and an event in my life that inspired me to make so many changes I now practice yoga almost daily and know my go to places and foods to keep me falling off kilter altogether...though it's a work in progress Thank you so much guys, you are both amazing inspirational people.

Of all the things I’ve done this year, the Scotland retreat is by far the best. Such an amazing location, food, yoga and company.

One of the best experiences of my life!

I loved every second of it !

The retreat came at a time that was sooo perfect and soooo needed and I’ll be forever thankful for just being able to breathe, recharge and reset myself !

Hi, we’re Kev & Jo Buchan. Between us we’ve had 4 surgeries, 18 broken bones (most of them Kev) and experienced grief losing our Mums. We know a lot about recovery and have rebuilt ourselves more than once.

We’ve been where you are

We know frustration firsthand from rugby injury and hip surgery to depression and loss. We’ve had to rebuild ourselves more than once.

Strength & Soul was born out of that deep frustration: being in pain and having no truly helpful guidance beyond ‘do these exercises, rest, and wait.’

What we offer isn’t just treatment; it’s an approach grown from our own challenging journeys and the proven results from years spent in our private clinic.

We don’t guess—we know what delivers long-term relief and genuine peace of mind. Our focus is building your confidence and giving you the tools to live your life fully, free from future flare-ups.
