One of my favourite things about teaching is watching students grow into teachers.

Practice first. Teaching second.

A beautiful Monday evening reminder that yoga is built over years, breath by breath, class by class. 🌿

Last one before autumn 🍂

Our final Friday Night Hands-On Adjustments Workshop is this Friday, 29th May, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.

This workshop focuses on floor-based poses, helping you understand not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.

We’ll break down:

• Upward-Facing Dog
• Shoulderstand & Plough
• Pigeon Pose

We’ll use props, chairs, clear demonstrations and optional hands-on adjustments to help you find more stability, strength and confidence in these postures.

This is a small-group session, limited to 15 people, so everyone receives individual attention and practical feedback.

Ideal if you’d like to:

✓ Understand backbending without compressing your lower back
✓ Feel more stable in inversions
✓ Stop collapsing into your hips in Pigeon
✓ Build confidence in floor-based work

These workshops won’t be back until autumn, so this is your last opportunity for a while.

Yoga on the Lake

A small, independent studio built from the ground up, right on the water.

No franchise. No trend-chasing. Just solid, well-taught yoga.

Led by a senior teacher with years of experience training teachers and running a full-time studio, this is yoga taught with depth, clarity, and real-world understanding of bodies.

Classes are rooted in traditional Hatha, but not tied to any one lineage.
No dogma. No guru culture. Just intelligent, adaptable teaching that works.

You’ll find:
• Strong, steady Hatha classes
• Beginners to experienced practitioners
• A focus on breath, structure, and progression
• Teaching that actually teaches, not just instructs

Alongside the weekly classes, we run:
• Professional teacher trainings
• Continuing education for qualified teachers
• Specialist workshops that go beyond the surface

Everything is practical.
Everything is tested in real classes.
Everything is taught by someone who’s been doing this a long time, not just talking about it online.

This is yoga at grass roots level, built on experience, not branding.
