TYLT | Where Physiotherapy Meets Yoga Therapy and Food Becomes Medicine
Jan 01, 2026The Integrated Healing Method Behind Physiotherapy, Yoga Therapy & Food - TYLT
How physiotherapy, yoga therapy, and food came together to become one system
TYLT was born from a simple, persistent question:
Which pathway brings complete healing?
TYLT is a wellbeing space where physiotherapy, yoga therapy, and culinary wellness are not separate worlds, but parts of the same system.
We exist for people who are tired of trying “one more thing” — one more stretch, one more supplement, one more class — and are ready for a structured, clinically informed way to change how their body feels and functions.
Because your health is never just one thing.
It’s many systems interacting: movement, breath, nervous system, food, thoughts, and daily rhythm.
TYLT is our way of bringing those systems together.
How TYLT began
Behind TYLT is me, Evert – Physiotherapist, Yoga Therapy Specialist, and Culinary Wellness professional.
But TYLT didn’t start in a clinic or a yoga studio.
It started in the kitchen.
For years, I worked internationally as a private chef on yachts, planes, and in royal residences. In those environments, there’s no room for guesswork:
-
timing has to be exact
-
quality can’t slip
-
every detail matters
At first, my focus was flavour, presentation, and experience. But over time, something became very clear:
Serving “great food” wasn’t enough if it didn’t change how people felt.
I wanted food to do more than delight people in the moment. I wanted it to help them:
-
sleep better
-
digest better
-
feel calmer
-
carry less tension
That curiosity led me into Ayurveda and other wellness traditions. I learned quickly:
-
Food can support the system
-
But food alone doesn’t restore the system
Because the body isn’t only fueled by ingredients. It’s shaped by:
-
movement habits
-
breath patterns
-
nervous system load
-
stress physiology
-
beliefs and fears around pain
-
the daily rhythm that either supports healing or keeps repeating the same cycle
That’s when I knew: if I really wanted to help people, I had to go deeper than the plate.
From kitchen to clinic: The missing link
I began studying Physiotherapy in Rome and fell in love with the clarity of it:
-
muscles and joints
-
nerves and biomechanics
-
load management and healing timelines
-
rehabilitation progressions
Physiotherapy gave me a map of the body.
But in practice, I saw a pattern that bothered me.
Many people were:
-
doing their exercises
-
stretching
-
strengthening
-
resting
-
following medical advice
…and still not improving long-term.
Not because they were lazy or non-compliant.
But because something was missing: integration.
Traditional approaches often don’t fully address:
-
the mental and emotional load people carry in their bodies
-
the nervous system tension that shapes pain and healing
-
the breath patterns that influence posture, pressure, and stress
-
the lifestyle rhythms that determine consistency
-
the emotional friction and fear that quietly block progress
That’s where yoga therapy moved from an interest to a necessity.
I trained at The Yoga Institute, in Classical Ashtanga Yoga and yoga therapy, and saw clearly:
Yoga isn’t just a spiritual or aesthetic practice.
It’s a system of regulation and integration.
TYLT is the place where these worlds finally meet.
What makes TYLT different?
A lot of people still think:
“Yoga is spiritual, physiotherapy is clinical, and food is lifestyle.”
At TYLT, we don’t separate them. We organize them.
TYLT is built on a simple idea:
Choose the pathway that heals without adding stress to the system.
That means every plan we design is created to avoid overloading:
-
the body physically
-
the nervous system emotionally
-
the mind psychologically
We don’t just give routines. We explain the “why”, so people can understand:
-
what their system needs
-
why it needs it
-
how to apply it safely
-
how to carry it into daily life
Movement matters. But so does the system behind the movement:
-
your nervous system must feel safe enough to move
-
your breathing must support the mechanics
-
your nutrition and recovery must support adaptation
-
your mind must understand you’re not harming yourself
That combination is what we call:
Analytically Directed Yoga Therapy
It’s yoga therapy and physiotherapy designed:
-
with clinical reasoning
-
with awareness of stress and nervous system load
-
with practical, digestible education
So changes aren’t just experienced in a session — they become part of your baseline.
Who TYLT is for?
TYTL exists for people who feel they’re living in a cycle, especially those navigating:
-
ongoing stress and anxiety
-
neurological conditions that require ongoing rehabilitation support
-
postural patterns and back pain that keep returning
-
symptoms that feel “everywhere” — digestion, sleep, stress, tension — all interacting
We don’t promise a single outcome, because every body and history is different.
For some people, shifts might show up first as:
-
better sleep
-
less fear around movement
-
calmer digestion
-
reduced pain intensity
-
more confidence in daily tasks
What we do stand behind is this:
When you understand your systems
and you practice consistently,
you can change your baseline.
That’s what TYLT is here to support.
Why Rome is part of the method
TYLT is based in Rome for a reason.
Rome isn’t only a location. It’s a network of systems layered over time, much like a body:
-
Ancient foundations supporting a modern city
-
Different eras built on top of each other, still interacting
-
Visible structures on the surface, with hidden infrastructure underneath keeping everything alive
Just like the body, Rome is:
-
resilient, because it adapts over time
-
complex, because many systems must work together
-
alive, because rhythm and flow matter
This is how we look at your body inside TYLT: not as isolated problems, but as layers of history, structure, and adaptation that can be reorganized.
From this environment, we created the Rome Retreat Series — our foundational work with people. It focuses on:
-
regulation
-
movement quality
-
breath
-
structure and rhythm
From that base, we then expand into focused, disease-specific pathways, delivered as guided cohorts — where I lead groups through structured sequences designed around particular patterns and needs.
What TYLT offers (and where to start)
If you’re curious, here’s a gentle way in:
1. Start with the Free Mini Rome Retreat
A short introduction to experience the TYLT concept with no pressure.
2. Then choose your next step
-
Unlock the Full Rome Retreat Series – your full foundation toolkit.
-
Join a focused pathway cohort as they launch – structured, condition-specific guidance.
Each step is designed to build skills, awareness, and confidence you can carry into everyday life — not just something you do “when you have time.”
How food fits into TYLT
Food is still a key part of the picture.
At TYLT, we treat food as:
-
support for the nervous system
-
support for recovery and energy
-
an adaptable tool for different conditions and sensitivities
I also collaborate with nutritionists, so movement, thought patterns, and nutrition can work together intelligently — especially when specific diagnoses or treatment plans are involved.
A necessary health note
TYLT’s content and programs are educational and intended for wellbeing support.
They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
If you have a medical condition, always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new practice or making changes to your treatment.
In short:
TYLT exists because you don’t need more random tips.
You need a pathway that respects your body’s complexity — and teaches you how to work with it, step by step.
