Sarah's Yoga Space

Sarah's Yoga Space Yoga for real bodies and real lives. Functional, sustainable movement that supports strength, balance and mobility without strain.

Thoughtful, inclusive classes where you can work with the body you have today. Beginners & improvers classes in Reydon and W I completed my 200 hour Yoga Alliance registered holistic training programme with the World Conscious Yoga Family in Rishikesh, India. My yoga practice has been an important tool in living and moving with presence, embracing life's ups and downs offering ways to find perspec

tive, awe and contentment everyday and in everything. To me, the practice of yoga is simply the practice of skilful action in present moment awareness; making the wisest choice for our Self, and that's what you'll practice with me in my classes. My physical practice is now with functional movement at it's heart to strengthen the long stuff and lengthen the short stuff to support our body to support itself and move towards a more centred state of being.

For years, we're taught that wellbeing is something we earn.
If we wake up earlier.
Move more.
Meditate every day.
Find the perfect morning routine.
Drink enough water.
Get enough sleep.
Read the books.
Listen to the podcasts.

The message underneath is almost always the same:

If you just keep improving yourself, eventually you'll feel like enough.

The heartbreaking part is that many of us become incredibly good at taking care of ourselves, while quietly believing we're still the problem.

One of the most meaningful things a yoga student has ever shared with me wasn't that she'd become more flexible, or stronger, or finally mastered a pose.

She told me she'd changed the label on her morning alarm from "Go for a run" to "You are enough."

Not because anyone told her to.
Because she'd stopped relating to herself as a project to fix.

I'm not interested in teaching people how to squeeze more wellbeing into an already overflowing life. But creating a space where your body stops feeling like something to manage, and starts feeling like somewhere you can come home to.

I think that's where lasting change begins—not when we finally become the person we think we should be, but when we realise we never had to earn our worth in the first place.

If that sounds like the kind of yoga you've been looking for, I'd love to welcome you to class in Reydon.
Woodland yoga coming at the end of August, and if you're further afield, online classes are on their way. Message or comment ‘YOGA’ to be the first to find out more.

Sometimes, we’re so intent on making the most of summer, we try and fill it with plans and activities before it’s gone.

Then you know what? It goes. And we wonder where it went.

Sometimes, to make the most of summer, we actually need to simply slow down and notice.

Evening Reset isn’t another exercise class to fit in. This is a ritual for noticing the season. A chance to move with the rhythm of this time of year.

Notice the light.
Feel your body moving this summer.
To have a ritual to close the day as the light begins to mellow on another day.

Summer isn’t something to fill before it disappears.
It’s something to feel while it’s here.

Evening Reset Yoga
6-7pm

We’re in a performance pandemic.

When did dance become a showcase of tricks and flips?
When did yoga become a performance of shapes?
When did rest become something to optimise?
When did measuring steps become a measure of health?

There’s been a slow but steady detachment from our changing body and all its wondrous stories and history and instead, life has become a performance of youth and proof of worth.

We live at a speed that mismatches our own felt-sense of time and quality of living.
We need REAL experiences that match our need for being our beautifully messy, human selves.

We need permission to notice and take pleasure in a face you find in a pebble.
Time to allow our minds to daydream.
Trust and agency in our body and the information it has to tell us.
Live a life that is felt and important to us, no matter what it looks like to someone else.

We need to
BE in yoga
BE in the dance
BE in rest
BE here, now.

And that’s what real yoga does.

It invites you into a process of engaging with life at a natural, not digital pace.

It invites you to stop performing and notice what’s important to you, right now.

It invites you to remember you can put the to do lists down.

It helps you to live a life lived with purpose and meaning without an audience.

I’m off to PE

YOGA. I mean yoga.

But really, Physical Education is what it is.

Except, my shapes aren’t getting marked, I’m not getting picked (last) for teams, and there’s no bleep after each practice I need to speed up with.

Just me, getting to know this body. Learning what it knows

Yoga isn't just about touching toes or improving flexibility.

Sometimes it looks like using your breath to stay calm in a CAT scan.

Sometimes it looks like having a tool to draw on halfway through a run, when the body wants to stop and the mind starts panicking.

Sometimes it looks like catching yourself holding your breath during a difficult conversation and choosing not to.

Sometimes it looks like getting down onto the floor and back up again without worrying whether you'll manage it.

And sometimes it looks like seeing yourself as more than a diagnosis, an injury, or a list of limitations for the first time in a long while.

The poses are only ever the practice ground.

The real practice is learning how to meet whatever life brings with a little more steadiness, a little more ease, and a little more trust in yourself.

The flexibility is a bonus.

Feeling at home in your own skin is the point.

We move through our days accumulating — layer by layer, hour by hour — patterns of stress we barely notice. We're already onto the next thing.

The sensory overload you white-knuckled your way through. The mental tab-switching that never quite stopped. The roles you’ve had to play all day.

And then evening comes.

And most of us — without realising it — try to unwind the same way we did everything else. With effort. With doing.

A workout. A new series. A scroll. All reaching for the off switch.

But your nervous system doesn't have one.

It needs something different. Not more doing — but a gentle, conscious undoing.

This is what yoga does that nothing else quite does. It builds the awareness to catch the tension as it arrives. And gives you the tools to genuinely reset. Body. Mind. Nervous system. Not a distraction — it gives your body a way back. An actual return to yourself. With breath. With awareness. With practice.

And if you’d like to practice with me, that’s exactly what the Wednesday evening reset is all about.

The internet has fast-tracked yoga to look like it’s about making shapes with your body.

You know, the sexy-tap-like-and-sharable posts.
The ones where it looks like someone's trying to put their big toe up their bum.

The non-instagramable yoga is
How does the movement feel?
What's working?
What's not?
What do you need more (or less) of today?

There it is.

Not the trending, origami body yoga.
but the honest, this-is-actually-useful yoga.

Some people would genuinely rather be in pain than be seen doing yoga with a chair.

Not because the chair wouldn’t help.
Not because the movement isn’t valuable.
But because somewhere along the line, using support became associated with weakness. Ageing. Frailty. Failure.

I meet so many people who tell me:
“I’m not flexible enough.”
“I’d never get back up if I got onto the floor!”
“I’d look silly.”
“I’m too old for yoga now.”

AND I see
People continuing to do pigeon pose, even though they have SI joint and knee niggles.
People continuing to ‘square hips’ in warrior 2, and constantly feel like their hips need stretching out because they feel stiff.

And underneath so much of it is the same belief: that “proper” yoga has to look a certain way.

But yoga was never supposed to be a performance of capability.

A chair isn’t the lesser version of the practice.
It’s not “yoga for people who can’t”.

It’s simply support.

And honestly? Most people could probably do with a bit more of that.

Using a chair can mean less fear. Less pain. More breath. More confidence. More attention. More possibility.

The goal was never to force bodies to fit the shape.
The goal is to help people feel more at home in the body they already have.

That’s the practice.

We’ve become detached from our bodies.
Step counts, heart rate, calories burned—none of it measures rest.

Rest is radical.
Rest is anti-capitalist activism.
It’s where we dream.
Where we hope.
Where we are utterly ourselves.

We’re on an endless hamster wheel of productivity,
filling every moment, measuring every move,
and somehow feeling busier for it.

Space isn’t found in doing.
It’s found in resting.
A slowing down.
A being-ness.

Rest isn’t something to earn.
It isn’t a reward.
It isn’t optional.
It’s the place where we are completely ourselves, masks off, fully alive and in the moment

Bodies aren’t morally superior because they fold neatly.

Perfect splits, ‘straight’ spines, deep back ’bends’—they don’t make you better, more disciplined, or more worthy.

The “perfect pose” is just a diagram. An Instagram algorhythmic dream. And most of those extreme postures have zero benefits to our lives.

Your experience—the way your body moves, feels, and shows up—is what matters.

Yoga isn’t a performance.
Your body isn’t a check list.

It’s a living, breathing, ever-changing ecosystem that caries your stories, strengths and experiences.

Move, breathe, stretch—however feels real today.

The practice is yours. That’s enough
