I’ll be offering the level 4 BWY 300 hours Certificate in Teaching Yoga starting Spring next year followed by the option to carry on to complete the full 500 hours Diploma! If you are even thinking about training to be a yoga teacher get in touch now and I’ll keep you up to date with schedule confirmations, free introductory sessions and all of the accompanying goodies as I pull the course together!

Delighted to be teaching at Durham Yoga Group next Saturday.
Do come along and join me in Belmont Parish Hall!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday 22nd August 10am to midday at Belmont Parish Hall where we are really lucky to have Jacqui Gunnion sharing her practice with us.

Jacqui is a BWY-trained teacher and DCT based in County Durham.

A bit about Jacqui: she attended her very first Hatha yoga class way back in 1994, when she had just turned thirty and decided she was getting on a bit and needed to start looking after herself more. Many years later, she is still practising! There have, however, been quite a few changes in between.

Jacqui decided to train as a teacher and qualified with a BWY Diploma in 2009. She has been running classes in the Consett area ever since. She also completed Movement Intelligence UK’s “Bones for Life” teacher training in 2021 and worked with the James Knight School of Gentle Somatic Yoga around that time too.

Jacqui would describe her approach to practice as “functional”. She is particularly interested in exploring how somatic-based yoga can begin to address some of our less useful movement patterns, make everyday tasks easier, and help maintain and improve general mobility. Simple breathwork practices, often combined with movement, as well as relaxation techniques, are an integral part of that process too.

Jacqui will be bringing everything together in the session called **“Mind the Gap – Finding Space in Body and Mind.”**

We very much hope you’ll join us! 🧘‍♀️✨

Apologies there was no newsletter today! I am currently in a constant battle with my Ipad regarding available space and was so busy trying to get it just to allow me to use "Word" long enough to do some marking for my Diploma students that it completely slipped my mind!
I will get a basic class schedule out tomorrow!

Very pleased with my updated photos for my website and promotional material.
I rocked up to Mark’s studio in jeans and a Charity shop find jacket with no make up and said “I just want to look like me - only better!”
That was a tall order and he did a great job
