Friendly Yoga Classes
in Mossley Hill
I first discovered yoga about 25 years ago in a draughty church hall in Manchester. Over the years, I dipped in and out of my practice as family, work and life events all overtook me at various times. The call of the mat was always there though.
In 2022, post-Covid, I somewhat spontaneously decided to take my first yoga teacher training (see a full list of my trainings here). I had no intention of teaching at that point but gradually, something in me changed and I began offering yoga classes in South Liverpool, which has been my home for the last 20 odd years or so.
Having watched many women in my family spending their lives prioritising others over themselves before succumbing to illness, my hope was that by offering weekly yoga classes, in my own small way, I’d be helping others.
Yoga offers a way back to ourselves on a physical, mental and emotional level. As women today who are juggling more responsibilities than ever while navigating an increasingly technological world, I believe yoga helps us create time, space and energy for ourselves so that we can be out in the world tending to others the rest of the time - whether that’s our work, our kids, our parents, our friends and whatever else.
This has certainly been my experience which is why I’m super passionate about sharing yoga with others.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be flexible to do yoga … Yoga is for everyone and can benefit everyone, and it’s never too late to start! (In fact, I did my first teacher training just as I turned 48!)
As someone who spent a career sitting for long periods at a desk, I understand first-hand the physical limitations that many of us bring with us on to the mat and so - above all else - my classes aim to offer a space where all students are met with kindness, compassion and gratitude.
I like to bring an awareness of the seasons, a focus on the breath, a sense of flow and fun to my classes - oh and I like a good playlist too. ✨
When I’m not on the yoga mat, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, getting out into nature, reading, pottering around in the garden (with mixed results!) and the occasional slow plod around the block.
