Yoga Pixie

Yoga Pixie Blackburn based yoga teacher. Yoga Teachers Together member. Fully insured, DBS checked. I also wanted to introduce myself!

My name is Lisa, I am a yoga teacher living in Blackburn, Lancashire, and I teach in the surrounding areas. I've created this website so I can share with you information about my teaching, including up to date information about my class schedule, information about my yoga classes, and an option to book online. I have a lifelong passion for being outdoors in nature. I spent a very active childhood climbing trees, biking and adventuring in the local countryside, alongside ballet dancing and swimming. I first began my yoga posture practice in 2009, following a car accident and a period of inactivity. Physiotherapy helped my symptoms, but only in the short term. Yoga presented the forum to work with my body holistically, offering the opportunity to reconnect with my body and it's potential for movement. I continued attending regular classes with my teacher Debbie Farrar and also began attending her local yoga workshops. I completed the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course in 2013, deepening my knowledge and learning more about all aspects of yoga. After this time I continued a personal yoga practice and development at home and decided to follow a teaching path. I began my Yoga Teacher Training Diploma in February 2016, accredited by the Independent Yoga Network and delivered by Debbie of Feel Now Yoga's Sensible Yoga School. I choose this course as it promoted a sensitive, sensible and somatic approach to yoga posture practice whilst honouring the yoga sutras, which felt like a naturally compatible with my own practice and philosophy. In this time I have studied yoga teaching skills, yoga philosophy and history, psychology, anatomy, physiology, theories of human movement and much more. I began teaching yoga in August 2016 in local leisure centres and started my own regular Yoga Pixie classes in 2017. Being able to share yoga with my local community is an amazing experience. I remain passionate about learning how we connect with the world around us and within us, embracing movement and authentic expression throughout our lives.

I'm a tree! We like to have fun doing family yoga at home, but we love to lark around in trees when the weather is fine 🌳☀️🧘‍♀️ If you are local to Spring Wood in Whalley you must go and see the carpets of bluebells, the smell and sight is divine 🪻💙

I love a good visualization! Here is a heart shape fern I spotted today during my walk in the woods, brimming with potential. Thinking about a curled up fern frond slowly unfurling is one of my favourite visualisations when we practice our spinal roll ups in class. Slow, sensitive, grounded movements. Spring is a magical time for moving more, opening up and exploring our range of movement to greet the returning sun!

I talk about how children move in class often. Sometimes with jealousy but mostly with awe, because they are such a pure connection to how amazing the movement potential of the human body is. In one class last week we chatted about the biomechanics of walking. I find these things really interesting and will happily movement nerd-out at the drop of a hat! The point we were discussing though was how we can use the simple movements of yoga to peel back the layers of conditioning and daily habits to bring our attention to the subtle things happening in our bodies that affect our function. We begin to appreciate the body for what it can do. Sometimes when we shine a light on something we get a lightbulb moment! That subtle awareness can then be integrated into our lives. Perhaps it'll feel really obvious when you put the pieces together. Perhaps on a physical level, perhaps on an emotional level. Perhaps it'll p**s you off for a while! Perhaps it'll become part of a larger understanding over time. The more we move and practice yoga in a sensible and integrated way, the more we remember who we are.

"For clearly, now, Yama means Love. As love has five principal modes of activity: sensitivity (ahimsa), honesty (satya), openness (asteya), intimacy (brahmacharya), inclusivity (aparigraha) and the more these qualities express themselves the more you experience integrity (sauca), equanimity (samtosa), enthusiasm (tapas), self awareness (svadhyaya)and surrender (ishvarapranidanah)."
- Godfrey Devereux, The Yoga Sutras

"Finding yourself is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you."
- Emily McDowell

"If you want to care for life, look within, to its roots. Let these roots nourish, inform and guide you. Intellectual analysis is not enough. The “road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Become intimate with your own presence. Feel the sensations that it generates. Follow the subtle, into the delight. Then you might become the love that you most deeply are. The love that life most deeply needs."
-Godfrey Devereux
