Promoting ourselves is hard, isn’t it? Like, yeah, it’s fun, and a creative challenge, and sometimes it feels easy because we’re literally sharing the thing we LOVE and are passionate about! I love it, usually, but it’s also sometimes really hard too 🫣 When we plug a date that seems to just not be a date anyone else can make, or an event that’s a bit different, or that we didn’t plan with time prior to generate a little more interest first (even if we used to be a media planner, insight-led strategist… even then 🫣😆)

Working your passion is THE BEST!
Sharing your passion is THE BEST!
Being able to live doing it, AWESOME!
Marketing it when, to you, it’s really obvious why people should totally just come, but they’re not so easily convinced? NOT THE BEST! 🙃🤣🫣

Small business crew, ya with me?

Biggest cringe?? Biggest win??!

I made a yoga workshop entirely and only for sporty people! So you can do the stretches you’re avoiding, in a room with 7 other athletes who are avoiding them too! Read on 👇🏼

〰️This is for bodies that feel at home in a race number, but awkward in a yoga class.

〰️For hamstrings that don’t sing in a stretch but fire up on the pitch.

〰️For gym goers who are strong, capable and competitive, but feel like routine yoga classes don’t hit the spot or the vibe.

This is for you 🫵🏼

If you’re running, playing rugby, football, tennis, golf, doing Hyrox, HIIT, off climbing, big on cycling. I made this one for you. For us!

This is NOT yoga with a sport label on it.

I know yoga, I know anatomy, I know movement profiles.

Invite your nervous system.
Relax through movement.
Release in ways your bodies will soften into it.

This session will:
⚽️Boost circulation to the muscles
🎾Improve recovery, to muscles and mental tensions
🏈Build strength and stability in areas that support your sport
🥍Offer deep release through targeted poses, modified for tightness
⛳️Create space to do the stretches you’re avoiding
🏋️‍♀️Be someone else making the decisions, helping you tune into your body, stretch, soften, and then settle; relax, regulate, recover.

➡️SPORT: Stretch, Strengthen, Slow
➡️A special yoga session with Kate Oates Elevate, Senior Yoga Teacher & Specialist in Yoga for Sport & Athletes
➡️Next Sunday, 18 October @ 3-5pm
📍 21a Mellor Road, Cheadle Hulme
➡️£40pp
➡️Small group, 6-8 people
➡️All equipment provided
➡️Homemade, nourishing chocolate goodies afterwards 

➡️Bring a training partner or a teammate and you both save £5 with code FRIEND5!

This is built for YOU 🫵🏼

Don’t hesitate. Come along, you’ll be so welcome!

So many of my clients arrived on the mat because someone else got them there.

🎁 Heard about it from their partner every Monday night for 6 years.

🎁 Gifted an alfresco session with wife and dogs (and cats) for their birthday. Still on the mat 3 years later.

🎁 Booked a 1:1 because a class felt like too much. That turned into 6 classes, and a yoga practice.

Life is busy! Activities, work, stress, families, routines.

Permission to pause is easier to accept when someone hands it to you, right? 🫶🏼

If yoga turns out not to be their thing? They tried it. They’ll find their thing

For the ones who do find freedom in it: The stretch, the release, the breathwork woven in so quietly you barely notice it…. Regulating, restoring, refuelling. It’s a gift that keeps giving! 🎁💫

Gift vouchers available, all year round. Maybe it’ll be:

✔️ 3 classes, £16 each. I recommend 3, so they get to know the poses, the styles and the room. They get to evaluate the effects properly.

✔️ A workshop! SLOW for rest, FOCUS for fun. 2 hours for them. With chocolate! (Spouses, top tip: if you gift a workshop, sort the childcare or the pet care too? That’s the real present! 🙃)

✔️ A private session, from £75.
Garden. Home. Pets. Family. Any combo. Your time.

🎄🎈Birthday, Christmas, or just because ❤️

Nothing says “I love you” more than “please live longer?” 🧘🏼‍♀️

➡️EMAIL ME. I’ll get the voucher to you, with a bespoke booking link for your person ([email protected] or see bio 🔝)

Give the gift of yoga!

Is corporate experience relevant to coaches offering corporate coaching? 🤔

Some say no. Some say yes. I make Ted Lasso’s (fictional) ears burn regularly in our kitchen. Ted Lasso (LEGEND) didn’t know the rules of football. Still an excellent coach (/depiction of). Ted did people. Read behaviour, saw what others missed, built a cohesion that was confident together and individually.

Back to my Q. I answer….

➡️ The office isn’t my patch any more but my experience of it means I will challenge you.
I can be direct because I know the landscape.
No wasted time translating, I understand.

➡️ BUT sometimes experience makes coaching HARDER. No leading, consulting, or suggesting, I must help you think braver / wider, so you find solutions yet I can’t point out the hiding place. Dammit (but truly, I don’t know your treasure, that’s yours!)

I’m not doing the work for you so if we’re technical, the fact I know the work is fine….

➡️ The CV # means I bring high standards in client servicing. Promptness, clear comms. Not extras, these matter and mirrored expectations are a GREEN FLAG.

I’ll go YES, though, because my experience created what I bring to coaching:

✔️ Stable confidence that I GENUINELY can help.

✔️ Not woo’d by the title. Human first.

✔️ I see/hear beyond what you’ve giving me; I’m not trying to work your tangle out; I get to work you out.

✔️ I’ll add rebellion because I know where the lines are.

✔️ I know your busyness. I offer formats that help you physically escape, to fuel thinking freedom around the hectic calendar.

I LOVE returning to offices in strengths-mode!

Who else pivoted from their old world but do different work in it now? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I’ve got a juicy session coming up and it’s entirely focused around over-worked butt muscles and tight hamstrings, ITBs and lower backs 🍑⚡️🫶🏼

NOT just a yoga session with a sporty label on it - the real deal!

More info is coming out LATER TODAY 📧

Want to explore yoga is a space where you can sweat, be stiff, not look like the yogis on Instagram BUT rest better, prevent injury, build stability in the s muscles whilst you train the bigger ones, and recover, perform and ENJOY your sport all the more?

I’m an aficionado.

A runner.

Anatomy nerd.

I teach Yoga for Sport & Athletes, CPD trained with a Premier League Yoga Lead, and I’m 13 years into my teaching love.

Be curious?

Your butt muscles might thank you! 🍑

**2 hour workshop on SUN 18th Oct especially for runners, cyclists, athletes, Hyroxers, ParkRunners, all the tight muscles and brilliantly active people!**

⬆️CLICK the SPORT box on the WORKSHOP WAITLIST (link in bio ⬆️) and I’ll (only) send sport related stuff!!

Lean in. I promise it’ll be ok. I WISH I’d done this when I was racing x
