Therapeutic Yoga at Yinspire - Some Date Changes -

02/02/2026

A useful article on the benefits of Yoga Therapy; it’s not for everyone, but for anyone in need of help, it is potentially a powerful tool.

Yoga therapy is the application of yoga principles to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship.

Good morning, and I hope people are enjoying a sunny if cold, Saturday.

I’ve just been having a conversation elsewhere and in passing mused that the early part of the 21st century - we are a quarter of the way in now, where did that go? - seems to have a constant theme of change.

With a dreadful terrorist attack opening the century; a financial crash; a pandemic; a cost of living crisis; political instability - all things that have coloured our lives in recent years - we’ve seen a lot of change.

And so into 2026. As many will know I’ve decided to focus the Yinspire business onto Yoga Therapy and Therapeutic Yoga rather than general classes. It’s a change that, I feel, reflects the needs of our time, and also reflects my personal energies and skills.

For those who appreciate them I still have group classes on a Tuesday morning and evening, evening on zoom as well as in person, and these classes won’t feel that different to anyone who has practised with me in the last couple of years.

These can be booked via my website, and restart this coming Tuesday with space in all sessions -

If you’d like to know more about how yoga classes and therapeutic yoga classes differ, here is a short explanation -

I wish you every blessing for 2026.

First, as we approach Christmas, I'd like to wish everyone a happy and peaceful time.

Looking Back

Give or take a day, it’s 10 years since I opened Yinspire studio - one class just before Christmas 2015, and then a full timetable from January 2016. It’s poignant then that today marks the end of this chapter in the studio’s life.

I wrote to you a short while ago explaining that the current timetable of group classes would end in February 2026; in the event both Della and Caroline have decided to move on at the end of this current month, and hence have taught their last classes at Yinspire - I thank them for their support and dedication.

Looking Forward

However it is not the end of Yinspire, by any means.

My classes will continue into 2026 on a smaller scale, with the studio reconfigured to use space better, and provide a more intimate facility for up to five people.

I’ll initially carry on with the Tuesday morning and Tuesday evening timetable, with the evening class also on zoom, although the timetable will almost certainly change as things evolve.

These classes, Therapeutic Yin Yoga, are open to all, and will continue to provide an unambitious nurturing environment for those who appreciate this slower approach.

If you have questions about these classes do please reach out; if the “therapeutic” description leaves you thinking “not for me” then I invite you to look past this, the class won’t be a significantly different experience for anyone who has practised with me in recent years.

I also plan to offer some short courses and workshops in 2026 focusing on topics like Yoga for Back Health; Stress and Resilience; Yoga for Healthy Ageing. More on these in due course.

I’d love to keep in touch, of course and share with you future offerings - please join my newsletter to keep in touch.

I wish everyone a happy Christmas.

"Chronic stress and inflammation are increasingly understood as deeply interwoven processes, shaping both mental and physical health. Much of modern physiology supports a question many people now ask: does stress cause inflammation in the body? Yoga philosophy provides its own lens on this question, particularly through the concepts of tapas and samskara, which speak to how unprocessed experience shapes mind and behaviour."

In this short article our friends at Minded Institute look at the links between stress and inflammation, and how a therapeutic approach to yoga can help.

Its worth noting that short term stress is a good regulatory mechanism in out body, telling us to take protective action. When stress settles in and becomes prolonged - aka chronic stress - then problems start.

It is also important to recognise that stress is not a fixed condition or entity in itself. Rather, it reflects an ongoing interaction between perception, meaning-making, and physiological response. From this perspective, what we commonly call “stress” arises from how experiences are interpreted and held within the system over time—an understanding that closely parallels yogic concepts such as samskara, where unprocessed experience leaves an imprint that shapes future patterns of reactivity.
