Struggling to find a yoga class to accomodate your specific needs? We can help! Our experienced team led by yoga therapist Charley Hickey C-IAYT specialise in:

✔️ Complete Beginners
✔️ Physical Restrictions
✔️ Old Injuries
✔️ Chronic Conditions
✔️ Ageing Bodies

Our friendly classes are open level and gently paced with an emphasis on breathing and awareness. We run in terms but you can join partway through if space permits. If you think you are too old, too stiff or out of shape to do yoga then you have come to the right place. This type of yoga class is fantastic for those that might suffer from old injuries, back or neck problems and have been unable to participate in more vigorous movement classes.

Honestly… it works a treat. 😄 There’s something about moving, breathing and slowing down that softens the edges a bit.

The world doesn’t magically change, but the way we meet it does. 💜 Charley

I’m building my little holiday reading list and would love your help 📚 This time of year feels perfect for a cup of tea, a quiet corner and a good book - the kind you can actually sink into.

So tell me…What books did you love reading this year?
Fiction, non-fiction, memoir, mystery, something that made you think, something that made you laugh - I’m open to it all.

Drop your favourites below so I can add a few new gems to my summer stack and who knows… your recommendation might end up helping someone else too. 💜 Charley

Forward bends aren’t about touching your toes ❌ they’re about moving with care.

Your spine will always prefer length over rounding and your body will always respond better to support than strain.

Try these simple modifications and feel the difference. 💜 Charley

Everyone who does yoga should strength train and everyone who strength trains should do yoga!

The dilemma: Yoga poses build strength but only to a point. Yoga is missing something called progressive overload and there are very few pulling actions (they are mostly pushing!). Also, we don't want to make your yoga classes a work out, they are so much more than that. A "work in" is a much better description and yoga is 💣🔥 for building nervous system resilience.

The solution?

🌟NEW🌟 strength classes using resistance bands and bodyweight to complement your yoga practice, not replace it. Keep an eye on your email and our timetable for six new classes coming your way from 2026.

You can expect:

💪 Slow, intentional strength building
🎗️ Using resistance bands & bodyweight
❌ Not a sweaty session
👍 Complete beginners catered for
🏋 Don't like gyms? You'll love this!
❤️ Teachers with 10+yrs experience

Stay tuned! 💜 Charley

AHHH December 😱 The month that somehow manages to feel exciting and utterly exhausting… all at the same time 🤪

It’s the season of lists, plans, end-of-year everything and that strange mix of “I can’t wait for a break” and “how is the year over already?”

If you’re feeling a bit stretched thin, you’re not alone - most of us are carrying more than we let on this time of year.

So here’s my December intention: Move gently, breathe before reacting, take things slower than my brain wants me to and protect the pockets of calm I know I need.

No rushing to “finish strong.”
No pressure to do December perfectly.
Just choosing steadiness over stress, presence over panic and tiny moments of grounding in the middle of the holiday noise.

What are your intentions for December? Share with me below ⤵️ 💜 Charley

🦶Is arthritis in your feet or toes making simple tasks like walking or standing feel like a struggle? 😖 It might sound counter-productive but movement is the key!

Add these gentle movements into your daily routine to help ease discomfort and improve movement. Aim for consistency rather than intensity and always listen to your body. Modify the movements as needed to suit your individual needs and comfort level. 💜 Charley
