Why spend the next 10-minutes scrolling when you could spend 10-minutes with me easing tension in your shoulders, releasing tightness in your neck and improving your posture?

Head over to my newly re-launched YouTube channel and join me for a short seated practice - no yoga mat necessary.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026!

New Year’s resolution:
Move gently. Rest more. Avoid shouty January energy!

My yoga classes are back and currently very quiet, which means plenty of space, calm energy, and a teacher who will be extremely pleased to see you.

If you’ve been thinking “I should get back to yoga”… this is that moment.

There's a booking button at the top of my page or you could comment below and I'll send you the link.

Now is the time to begin
Begin again
Begin for the first time
But begin...

Yoga by Gillian offers a welcoming, supportive, friendly and encouraging environment where you can explore how it really feels to move, breathe and meditate.

In these classes you will be encouraged to take up space for yourself, to settle into stillness and to move in ways that help you feel more like yourself again.

Yoga is more than a movement practice, it's a journey towards your best self. It's time for you to unravel the tensions of the week and rediscover how it feels to be at ease.

Classes are now available for booking at the start of 2026. Now is the ideal time to begin and to do this for yourself. Your mind and body will thank you with less aches/pains, better sleep and a calmer mind.

Why yoga and self-care?

Yoga is self-care and self-care is yoga.

Self-Care is a practice to get you out of your head and into a more relaxed state. That's exactly what the primary aim of yoga is too!

Whether you've practiced yoga before or not I'm inviting you to try this week.

🕯️ Light a candle
🤫 sit somewhere quiet
🔥 watch the flame

For a moment you will be practicing yoga, by slowing the mind down and stepping into the present moment.

Try it and let me know 👇 if you found a moment of stillness?

Sunday Sep-Care Club

What's your challenge for this coming week?

Are you going to hit snooze 5 times each morning, drag yourself out of bed and hope that the day heads up from there?

Or

Are you going to get up with your alarm, do something positive for yourself first thing and know that you can handle whatever the day throws at you?

Both are challenges. Both are hard.

Choose your challenge, and let me know what that is in the comments below 👇

PS - been feeling quite anxious and low this weekend, and almost didn't post this. While this post is hopefully helping someone the likelihood is those who really need it won't ever see it. That makes me sad, because it's the kind of honest content I could do with myself right now.

All about me ...

Gillian is a qualified Yoga teacher with over 15 years experience on the mat. Working as a Primary School teacher means Gillian possesses a natural talent for both encouraging and challenging her yoga students. Gillian knows first-hand the benefits that comes with regular practice – both physically and mentally. She practices what she preaches, investing time in meditation, yoga nidra, a variety of differing styles of yoga, and passing her knowledge on in a safe and comfortable environment. But have no fear, this is not a class of chanting and joss sticks. Gillian is on a mission to make yoga the norm, accessible for everyone. She believes that the benefits are not just for the bendy among us, but for all those who want to break the rules and rebuild themselves. The overriding element in her classes is that of acceptance. “Mindfulness” is a term bandied about mindlessly these days, but Gillian inspires the idea that taking the time to accept where your mind and your body is each day, rather than striving for the next best thing, is the healthier way to approach yoga, and life itself. All of her classes are interesting, challenging, nurturing, accepting and most of all fun. And what more could you possibly ask for?
