Not watching the football Wednesday? Why not come along to a yoga class?

Wednesday Wind down 8.15pm at Kewstoke village Hall.

11/07/2026

My Wednesday wind down is a lovely mix of movement and relaxation. And in the current heat we are taking it easy. The class is still new but it's already starting to feel like a community. If this sounds like a bit of you come along and try it.
There are 2 weeks left of this term. Book via the link in my bio or DM me for details.
I hope to see you Wednesday x

One of the things I love most about teaching yoga is hearing from people who never thought yoga was for them.

This lovely feedback came from someone who joined my classes looking for some gentle stretches to help with shoulder problems. They'd never done yoga before and were worried they might feel out of their depth.

Instead, they found a welcoming, supportive space where they could move at their own pace, relax, and take time for themselves.

"There's no judgement or competition, it is such a special atmosphere."

Creating that kind of environment is always my aim. A place where everyone feels comfortable, whether you're completely new to yoga, returning after a break, or simply looking for an hour to slow down and unwind.

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to know the classes have become so positive for you. 💚

Classes run throughout term time and new faces are always welcome. Send me a message if you'd like to find out more, or visit the link in my bio.

Why do I do what I do?

15/06/2026

Everyone arrives at yoga with different bodies, different experiences and different needs.

That's why my aim isn't to make people fit a particular idea of what yoga should look like.

It's to help each person find a way of practising that works for them.

That might mean offering different options, suggesting the use of props, encouraging rest when it's needed, or simply noticing when something doesn't feel quite right and helping someone find a more comfortable way to move.

More than anything, I want people to feel welcome when they walk through the door.

Not judged. Not compared. Not expected to be flexible, fit or experienced.

Just welcomed.

Because yoga isn't about performing. It's about paying attention, moving with awareness, and finding a little more ease in both body and mind.

If people leave class feeling calmer, more comfortable in their bodies, and a little more like themselves, then that's what matters most to me.

If that sounds like something you need right now, drop me a 🩷 and I'll send you the class details. No pressure, just a friendly chat.

One of the biggest changes in my yoga practice wasn't learning a new pose.

It was stopping trying to impress anyone.

For a long time, I wanted my teacher to notice my practice. I wanted the comment, the correction, the acknowledgement that I was doing it "right". Like many people, I quietly absorbed the idea that yoga was about creating a particular shape or achieving a certain aesthetic.

But even before I trained as a teacher, little experiences had started to challenge that belief. Intellectually, I knew that asana was only a small part of the practice, but during my teacher training I really began to understand that the shape itself isn't the goal.

"I don't have to impress anyone."

These words reminded me that my practice wasn't something to perform. It wasn't about proving myself or earning approval. It was about paying attention, being present, and learning from my own experience.

Ironically, when I stopped trying to impress anyone, I started getting much more from my practice.

And as a teacher, I don't want students to feel they have to impress me. I want them to feel comfortable exploring what works for their body on that particular day, without worrying whether it looks right from the outside. Any adjustments I offer are simply there to help you get the most from the posture, not to make it look a certain way.

Because yoga isn't a performance.

And some of the most important things it teaches us can't be seen at all.

What's something you've changed your mind about over the years—whether in yoga or elsewhere?
