Yogalistic with Dionne

06/04/2026

The ending is NOT 'happy' here.... Certainly not in the way some people ask.

So let’s clear something up…

I’m a fully qualified, insured massage and Reflexology therapist with years of experience.

My treatments are professional, results-driven, and tailored to what your body actually needs.

So whilst some people may associate a "massage" with another well-known pleasure profession that's been around since the dawn of time... My massages do NOT come with “extras.” That’s not the service you’ll find here.

Yes, they do come with:
☑️ Skilled, professional treatment
☑️ A nervous system that finally chills out
☑️ Muscles that stop screaming at you

Respect the space, respect the work — and we’ll get great results.

Looking for something 'extra'? Get yourself a paper and turn to the personal ads column. No judgement here.

✨ Allow me to reintroduce myself… ✨

For the past 11 years living in Spain, most of you probably know me as Dionne 'the yoga teacher'… or Dionne 'the massage therapist'.

But there’s a background to how I got there, and it feels about time I shared a little of it with you.

My first experience of “teaching” movement?
Not glamorous.

15 years old
A school corridor.
A portable cassette player.
My mum’s Arlene Phillips Keep in Shape System on tape. - anyone remember that?

Gathering together the other girls who wanted to avoid the rounders bat and sneaking in a workout behind the sports hall 🤸🏻‍♀️😅

Fast forward a few years—I fell into office life (as many of us do), knowing it wasn’t for me… but not quite brave enough, or informed enough, to do anything about it.

Then in my late teens, my mum took me to my first strength class.
I was hooked—despite the fact we could barely walk back to the car afterwards (hello my first experience, but definitely NOT my last, of the jelly legs 😅).

I joined a gym, started moving weights, and discovered exercise-to-music classes.
Before long, I trained as an exercise to music instructor and was teaching classes alongside my office job, plus a short stint working part-time in a gym designing programmes for their members.

My 20s were full of movement and fun and lots of lycra 😂… but if I’m honest, it wasn’t about health or longevity.
It was about looking good in hipsters and a crop top!

Then yoga came along… and everything shifted.

I fell in love with it so deeply that I stepped away from teaching my other classes.
It didn’t feel right to keep teaching something when my heart had moved elsewhere.

That curiosity about the body—how we move, how we feel—led me to train as a reflexology and massage therapist. (My 20s were busy years!)

Then finally, at 44—when most people are settled into their career path—I got on a plane to India and immersed myself into my yoga teacher training.
A few years later I went back for more in-depth learning.
Because once I’m in… I’m all in. ♥️

Not long after, I left my office job (a very welcome redundancy!)…
and 5 months later, I moved to Spain to finally do what I love, full time.

Then came another shift…

5 years ago, I met my incredible friend Melissa—a powerlifting champion and women’s strength coach—who gently (and persistently!) encouraged me back to lifting weights.

And that’s when it really clicked:

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga alone isn’t enough.
💪🏻 Strength alone isn’t enough.
⚖️ Your body needs both (in my humble opinion).

So now, at 55…

I don’t train to look good (those cropped tops are a distant memory, although if I can manage to pull off a vest top and a pair of shorts, I’ll take it 😏).

I train for:
✅ strong bones
✅ a resilient body
✅ staying independent as I age
✅ and feeling GOOD in my own skin

And this is exactly what I now bring into my work and teaching.

No fluff.
No fads.
Just real, intelligent movement that actually supports your body for the long term.

My passion?
Helping women stop guessing… and start taking real control of their future health.

Because we’re not here to get weaker with age.

We’re here to get smarter about how we move 💪

Whether that’s through yoga, strength, a massage for recovery or to allow our nervous system to settle, or simply understanding our bodies a little better…
I’m here for all of it 💙

If you’ve been part of my journey in any way—thank you 🙏🏻.
And if you’re new here… welcome 🩵

MOBILITY REQUIRES STABILITY

This is why, during my classes, whether it's my traditional Hatha practices or my yoga strong class, whenever we work with the shoulder joints I'm talking about "stabilising".

Wrapping and binding..... Shoulder movement comes after and part of the rotation of the spine, not independently.
Strength work..... Stacking joints.
Feeling not forcing
Engaging not dumping.

I hope you like these videos as much as I do.

Once again, thanks to for these fantastic anatomy explanations and visuals

The 'comfort zone', that place where nothing ever changes.

IF IT DOESN'T CHALLENGE YOU, IT DOESN'T CHANGE YOU

It's all good and well to say you want to be stronger, that you know you need to be stronger for the future you, but then not put the effort in.

You don't have to change your life, or live in a gym. Small changes, small efforts, done consistently, make huge changes.

Such a fun workshop yesterday with fabulous women putting strength first 💪🏻

I was always that yoga student.... Then that yoga teacher.

“Yoga is yoga” — and honestly, I used to get frustrated seeing it blended with other types of exercise. (Think Yogalates [yoga+pilates], barre yoga [ballet+yoga])

But over the last few years, something shifted.

As much as I believe in yoga (yoga is incredible, it's powerful, it's my go to), I’ve also seen — in myself and in my students — that it’s not enough on its own.
Because as we age, strength becomes non-negotiable.
Muscle mass declines. Bone density reduces.

While yoga supports strength to a degree… it doesn’t fully address it. So when it comes to building real strength, we need to be a bit more intentional.

So instead of resisting it… I decided to do, and teach, something that's needed.

Yoga Strong. 🧘🏻‍♀️💪🏻

A class designed to give you results your future self will thank you for:

🔹 Starting with a traditional yoga practice to open and prepare the body
🔹 A focused strength section using bodyweight exercises
🔹 A proper stretch to finish — because flexibility still matters

No fluff. No trends. Just what your body actually needs.

If you’re looking to improve mobility, build strength, and feel more capable in your body — this is for you.

No yoga experience needed. Options for all levels

Get those squats in and work that butt!! Not just for the perky 🍑, but for stability, power, posture.

Obvs, getting a perky 🍑 is a great positive side affect. 😉

Thanks to for another great video
