"So

let me say hello and tell you a little about me. Having been into sport (swimming, running & triathlon in particular) all my life, I decided to start turning an interest into a career in 2010. I have taught exercise in various forms around West Oxfordshire as my full time career for 10 years, gaining qualifications, teaching experience, and having lots of laughs. I’ve participated in Yoga for 25 years, but once I completed my Yoga Teacher training, I just knew that this was where it would be at for me. In my world of crazy teens & hubby working away from home, sharing my love for Pump, Yoga & Pilates is a MUST to keep me mentally and physically sane. I’ve had a great experience taking my classes online during the COVID-19 lockdown and it has been a blessing to be able to start COVID risk-managed face to face classes again more recently though. Physical Goal: Half Ironman

Teaching Passion: Yoga – I love it so much because it can be so many different things – slow, fast, sweaty, calm, strong, stretchy, mindful….. Everyone needs some yoga in their life – and just to dispel a myth – you do NOT need to be flexible to do Yoga! Favourite Ways to Keep Fit: Yoga (obviously), Pump, walking & 5-10km runs (well, jogging really). I use guided meditation from the Calm app to keep my brain fit too. Top Nutrition Tip: Keep a track of your carbohydrate intake! The NHS recommends around 260g of carbs/day. If you’re trying to lose weight, or are peri-menopausal, I’d recommend below 120g/day, with your biggest carb source being vegetables, then fruit, then starchy carbs (brown/wild rice, quinoa, baked potatoes, oats)."

New term, new flow in Vinyasa...

'Strength' was requested for this term, so whilst this flow appears to be a balance challenge (because it is), it's also sneakily building strength in the standing leg, and preparing the hips and spine with a gentle twist and stretch.

The chosen peak pose in yoga is the Half Plank with Bound Half Lotus, which requires a lot of side work and hip mobility...

Homework for this particular flow was to brush teeth while standing on one leg - not as easy as it sounds!

Sana loves yoga for mental clarity 🥰

"Yoga gives me better mental health and I feel I don't panic as much as I used to. It has helped me learn how to control my emotions so I can think before I react."

Sana has perfectly highlighted one of the many major benefits of yoga practise. Moving the body in time with controlled breaths helps many people to 'take a moment' before responding...

Scroll through and see the members absolutely nailing this term's peak pose in yoga 🙌

It might look odd, but actually there were some serious ab contractions going on before we turned over!

New term is ON! What are we working on?!

Find out with a free taster - all you need is a bottle of water (I can lend you a mat). Just let me know before you book...
