Kelly Slade Yoga

Kelly Slade Yoga At Kelly Slade Yoga, every class is designed around how you want to feel. Sometimes we need rest, reset or connection with others.

We breathe, move and regulate our nervous system šŸ’• I have studied many styles of the physical forms of yoga including Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram, Hatha, Restorative, Yin to name but a few and my style of yoga reflects what I deem are the best bits of all of these. I have a deep respect for Pranayama, meditation, as well as Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) and I love to incorporate these elements i

nto my classes as they are so beneficial for our health and well-being. My inspiration comes from you... my awesome yogi tribe that just inspire me every day. You all help me realise my dream of sharing my passion for yoga with you. Through creating a safe space and placing emphasis on softening and synchronising your breath I will guarantee you will flow with more ease than you believed possible which will, in turn deepen your practise.

I came for the movement. I stayed for the stillness. šŸ’•

When I first started yoga, I came for the obvious things.
The movement. The stretching. The feeling of working my body and nailing the ā€˜advanced’ poses.
And, if I’m honest, I loved getting stronger too.

Years of practice have changed my body in ways I didn’t necessarily expect. I have more strength, more muscle definition, better balance and a much greater awareness of how my body moves. I love feeling capable in my body, not because it looks a certain way, but because it feels strong and helps me thrive in my day to day life.

But that’s not why I keep coming back. Somewhere along the way, I discovered the stillness.

The few minutes when I stop trying to achieve anything.
The quieter breath. The meditation. Helping my mind to finally stops running ahead of me.

That’s the bit I didn’t know I needed. Yoga has taught me that strength isn’t just about how long I can hold a pose. It’s also about being able to pause. To breathe. To notice. To listen to my body rather than constantly asking it to do more.

And that’s why, after all these years, I still roll out my mat. I came for the movement. I stayed for the stillness.
And somewhere in between, I learned how to feel more at home in my own body.

That’s the yoga I want to share with you. Not yoga that asks you to perform. But the one where you learn so much more about yourself. Then and only then will you find what you’re capable of.

Classes resume next week in Berwick. Book your space through my website.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday Dynamic Hatha 🫶

Strength. Mobility. Balance. Breath.

A considered, exploratory practice for people who want to understand their bodies rather than simply move through a sequence. We decide as a group what we’re going to work on that class by checking in with our energy levels.

We’ll work on strength and mobility, explore different ways of moving and use the breath to bring awareness to the body. Sometimes we challenge ourselves. Sometimes the most challenging thing of all is slowing down and holding a pose.

You’ll be encouraged to find your version of the pose. Not mine. Not the person next to you.

Yours. Because yoga isn’t about forcing your body into a shape. It’s about becoming curious enough to listen to it and responding.

Thats all I’ll teach you. When you respond you will build strength internally and externally. The physical effects are noticeable; yes. In a world where we are focused on the what we can see, yoga will be a challenge as you build strength, endurance and mobility. But it has a sneaky way of making you feel reset. Ready to take on the rest of the day or week. All classes include Breathwork and a guided Yoga Nidra.

Come along, your body and mind will thank you. Full timetable is on my website and classes restart next week. Looking forward to meeting you all back on the mat šŸ’•

Tuesdays Beginners Yoga 🌿

Your place to start. Or pick up where you left off if you haven’t practiced for a while.

Never done yoga before? Or simply want to slow everything down and understand the foundations?

This is where you learn how to move, breathe and build confidence without feeling like everyone else already knows what they’re doing. A welcoming community of like minded individuals that just want to learn how to find space in their body and mind. Some never leave the beginners class as they love the pace.

You don’t need to be flexible.

You don’t need to touch your toes.

You just need to turn up and learn to experience how yoga can ease those aches and pain associated with modern living. Learn how to harness the breath and use it for challenging situations in your life. Learn when and how to slow down and turn your attention inwards. Learn when your nervous system is whispering so it doesn’t need to shout. You will thrive in life learning to live this way. Yoga isn’t exercise and once you embrace this you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

You will become stronger, more resilient and healthier. Each class is tailored to you, your energy levels and what you’d like to work on.

Classes are on a block booking basis to help you commit to a regular practice. This is something I firmly believe in. There will always be an excuse to not come. Invest in yourself and your own wellbeing.

The next course starts on Tuesday 8 September at 6pm in Berwick. Parking on site. Book via my website, link in bio.

Monday Vinyasa Flow šŸ”„

Strong. Dynamic. Energising.

If you love to move, sweat, be challenged and leave feeling like you’ve really worked your body — this is your class.

Many yoga classes are offered as ā€˜accessible’ but this class is not for the faint hearted. I noticed a gap in the offerings in our area for a really strong class incorporating inversions, arm balances and strength training.

Please decide if you’d like a class like this before you come along. My vinyasa flow class is simply not like others out there, I will offer you different variations of the pose to suit your body as an individual but you must be prepared to be fully embodied, linking breath with movement.

Expect flowing sequences, strength, balance and plenty of opportunity to challenge yourself. I offer up poses you might not see in my other classes. We support each other as we move with intention and then deciding if we’d like to accept a stronger version of the pose. This class is not for beginners. You need to know when to step back, you need to know your body and the poses well. You need to appreciate that some classes you’ll feel energised enough to try something different and then sometimes knowing that child’s pose is more suitable for you today.

Strong yoga. The ego is left at the door as learn what’s possible in your practice.

Breathwork to centre and bring you home to your mat and always never forgetting the most challenging pose of all; Savasana. I offer a guided Yoga Nidra (meditation) in all my classes. Softness, integration and a moment to pause is an integral part of your practice.

Mondays from 7 September at 6pm - 7.15pm in Berwick. PAYG class bookable online through my website. Link in bio šŸ’•

The next few posts will be explaining the yoga I teach and the different classes I have on offer. I know all the yoga styles are confusing and one yoga teachers vinyasa flow will be completely different to another’s.

Q - What makes my yoga different overall?

I’m not particularly interested in getting everyone in the room to look the same.

I actually don’t want that. A lot of the time I make an effort to show how different we all look in the pose.

Your body isn’t the same as mine or the yogi next to you. With an in person class you can see how others adapt the shape to make it work for them. We help each other, as a group we offer guidance. Every single day I learn more from you because you help teach me how your body feels in a shape.

So why would you think your yoga practice needs to look exactly like mine or the yogis next to you? You’re on a different journey in life. With many yoga styles there is a correct alignment mentality, but that’s not my way.

In my classes, I’ll teach you the pose — but I’ll also teach you how to listen to your body and adapt it.

Maybe your knee needs a little more space. Maybe your hips are tight so using props really helps you feel more comfortable. Maybe your hamstrings aren’t interested in touching the floor today or ever. But you need to feel where it feels uncomfortable your body and breathe into it.

Your version of the pose will look completely different than the yogi next to you.
Thats because you are perfectly unique as you are.

That’s not doing yoga ā€œwrongā€. There is no such thing. That’s practising yoga. Every single day will be different. As you gain strength, mobility and flexibility with a dedicated practice, you’ll have to adapt again.

I want you to become embodied enough to notice what’s happening in your own body, rather than spending the whole class trying to make it look like someone else’s, because the goal isn’t the perfect pose.

It’s learning to move through life with a little more awareness, strength, adaptability and kindness towards yourself.

That’s the yoga I teach. You are not living someone else’s life. And neither should your yoga practice be either.

A different one from me today šŸ’•

Thanks to the wonderful Fergus I attended a true nostalgic experience yesterday. Truly epic sets from him, Seb Fontaine and Judge Jules in Eastbourne.

Years ago, living in London I embraced the club scene and loved it. At the same time I discovered yoga actually.

What I didn’t realise then is that they’re much the same. They both share really a deep neurological flow state that lowers stress instantly. Both are inviting an internal focus of mindfulness and presence. Both enhance proprioception and physical coordination.

A yoga class and a club environment offers social connection, rhythmic synchronisation that bonds us. Simultaneously offering an internal personal experience of upliftment.

I think that’s why I teach a style of yoga that asks you to find how you feel best in the pose. Dancing and yoga should help you to come home to yourself, allow you to move freely, liberating yourself from dogmatic thoughts and the idea that the pose is supposed to look a certain way.

Then and only then can you feel at home in your body. Let the music and yoga take over. Close your eyes and be fully embodied. Your body and mind will thank you.

Classes resume in September. Let me reach you how to use yoga to live back in your body. Modern life and some exercise regimes have taught us to be so linear. But we are fluid, we are the breath and we need to move to our own internal beat.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon Fergus šŸ’•

šŸ’•Yoga Classes restart in Berwick from Monday 7 September. šŸ’•

If you’ve spent the summer juggling, eating on the go, wondering where the days have gone when you promised yourself a little me time that never materialised… September is the perfect time to reset.

My classes aren’t about being bendy or touching your toes. There’s no repetitions of boring movements.

They’re about moving your body mindfully, learning when to push and when to hold back, getting stronger inside and out, breathing fully and deeply, switching off from the outside world and leaving feeling so much better than you arrived.

There’s a class for different energy levels. In fact the class group itself dictates it. You can practice for strength, adding in dynamic holds and building internal heat. You can choose a slower pace and more mindful stretchy movement in the Beginners class. All of my classes incorporate breathwork to settle the nervous system, poses that aid strength, mobility and flexibility and a guided meditation to integrate your body and mind.

And the one thing I have compared to any other class you’ve been to? My community. It’s truly like no other. We welcome every single body. We probably spend a little too long before class hearing about what’s happening in their lives, we laugh and joke. They put me in my place when I offer a challenge. And then support each other when they decide to give said challenge a go!

I know the cost of living is high, I know there are million other things you can do with an hour of your life. But maybe you prioritise yourself, your body and your mindset once a week?

September class bookings are open now. Come and join us, your body and mind will thank you šŸ’•.

When I first started practicing yoga, I thought the advanced poses were the goal.

I’ve had a notification recently that’s told me I have too many photos and videos using up my data allowance. And it got me thinking. I went straight back to the beginning of my camera roll. Yes, I have tonnes of videos of the children when they were younger, family days out etc that need to be preserved. But I’ve got many duplicates, photos from different angles looking for the perfect shot.

I have many many videos of me throwing myself up to handstand and forearm stand looking for the perfect alignment in the pose. Obviously at the time comparing myself to how others looked in the pose.

I have changed. My yoga practice has changed. Life has evolved. Yoga became part of my life and a way to feel at home in my body. If I didn’t post on here, I doubt I’d ever film myself like I did 10 years ago throwing myself up a wall. It seems so contrived to me now.

There is so much noise, so many people we could compare ourselves to. In my mind the practice of yoga is learning to filter out that noise. To breathe fully and deeply and find those pockets of quiet. That’s when our lives truly live. Later on in my camera roll as you know, I have taken pictures of the South Downs and the sea reminding me that here, in the quiet, on my own, self reflecting is where I’ve found my yoga. Not in the headstand.

Yoga is a journey. You don’t come along to one class and that’s it. It’s a life long practice of coming home to yourself, learning more about yourself and finally enjoying the peace. Then and only then will you find the freedoms in your movements, the physical aches and pains will lessen for sure and that’s why many come to yoga in the first place. Maybe to become stronger in their physical body, to become more flexible and mobile. But the more you practice, the more you will find.

That’s why yoga will be different, that’s why you need to practice. Because in an ever increasingly noisy world, yoga is where you will find more than just endorphins.

Classes will resume in Berwick in September, bookings will open online this week.

08/08/2026

I’ve done my fair share of being ā€˜out out’. In the noughties I lived in London and did the out until 6am, work by 8.

It bashed my nervous system. And maybe now I’ve slowed down to the point that I recognise I have some making up to do.

I realised alcohol destroyed what yoga built for me. 5 days a week I felt fabulous, practising yoga, mindful walks, sea swimming, meditation. Weekends were the opposite. I was not being the best version of myself.

In your 40’s everything lands differently. When I practice yoga Nidra and meditation I encourage my body and mind to relax to the point to where I can absorb deep restorative sleep so much better. One glass of wine destroys that for me.

I spent much of the e week repairing what the weekend took from me. Anxiety was lasting a day or two longer and my body felt stiff and full of tension.

So I’m showing up for myself. There are some awesome zero alcohol free drinks out there. I’m loving the last 8 months of waking up feeling more balanced.

It’s what yoga does for you. You recognise where your mind and body needs to make a shift to thrive. It’s so much more than a few poses. It’s not an exercise class. The strength you build is not only shown on the outside.

Yoga changes you as a person. Because until you practice, you have no idea how incredible you can feel.

Classes resume in September in Berwick. The full timetable is on my website and booking will open next week.

The yoga world is trying to change but I won’t let it. Here’s why I think you should come on my retreat. Swipe āž”ļø

šŸ˜ž I see yoga retreat leaders asking for social media content creators to come on retreat and take photos and videos of their and others experience. Why? Because if Instagram doesn’t record it then did it really happen? šŸ™„

Your and my time is precious. I ask you to honour it. You will adopt a performance mentality as soon as a camera is pointed at you. It’s a fact. The real authentic you actually doesn’t care if you look good on a camera so you shouldn’t have to be constantly thinking you’re going to end up on here.

There are no photos or videos allowed in my yoga Shala. There is a time when we may be messing around in a workshop that it might be ok, but generally no.

🤯 I ask you to choose if you’d like to come to the early morning meditation or yoga session. Many of my yogis are exhausted from being a parent or early rising. Your retreat shouldn’t feel like another painful early morning if you’d rather a lay in. Bonkers I know to come on a yoga retreat and maybe not do some yoga. But yoga is about honouring how you’re feeling and I want you to respect it. Much like your practice, I don’t want you to push or pull yourself into a shape that doesn’t work for your body.

šŸ„‚The food and alcohol. I’ve been on retreats where both of these are restricted and it’s not a fun experience. Your nervous system is on high alert because you’re in starvation mode. That’s not going to calm your nervous system is it? There will be the most incredible food on offer and plenty of it. And alcohol is welcome if you feel it will enhance your experience. Many of my yogis enjoy wine or similar with dinner.

šŸ‘ÆMy community is simply like no other. Welcoming and respectful. Come as you are. Many book single occupancy rooms but there’s always the option for me to pair you with someone wonderful. 90% of my yogis come alone and are welcomed into a group of caring and supportive individuals that feel like they’ve made friends for life.

This is why my retreat experience is different from all those others. Does it sound like a bit of you? šŸ’•
