Chelsea Bloom - Yoga & Wellbeing

If you are, or know a Cheltenham Teen who would benefit from some really lovely yoga at the special Rosieglo yoga studio please share this class with them!

📬Coming to a letterbox near you!

Have you spotted our swanky new Teen Yoga flyer?

We've been running a regular Teen yoga class for many years, but post-covid lockdown we have seen an increase in teens suffering with anxiety, self-doubt and low confidence. As a Mum of three teenage girls I know that the ups and downs of the last few years have had an impact - can you relate? 🤔

The good news is, Yoga has been proven to significantly benefit young people's physical and mental well-being including:

Stress Relief 🌬️: Ease academic & social pressures. Yoga calms minds, reducing anxiety.

Improved Focus 🤓🧠: Boost concentration for better grades & productivity.

Emotional Balance 🌈: Handle ups & downs, build resilience, and find positivity.

Physical Fitness 💪: Stay active with yoga's flexibility & strength benefits.

Healthy Habits 🍏: Inspire lifelong wellness & self-care.

Social Skills 👥: Build connections and friendships beyond school.

Conflict Resolution 🤝: Improve self-awareness & communication skills.

If you know a young person in need of a wellbeing m.o.t please do get in touch.

Our Teen Yoga for Strength & Calm runs weekly
📆Tuesday 5.00-5.50pm - first class is free!

Teen Yoga at Rosieglo starts next Tuesday at 5pm and I really can’t wait to share the many tools of yoga with them. Have a read of Rosie’s fab blog post to find out more 🧘

As a Mum of three daughters, I often get asked if they do yoga.

My initial reaction is to scoff and say ‘No, they don’t want to do what their Mum does!’ - just like any teenager.

But actually, I do see that growing up around yoga has had a positive impact on them and they do in fact integrate many of the beneficial aspects into their lives, even if they don’t realise it!

Whether that’s taking time to stretch out after a grueling day at the school desk, consciously breathing when things get a bit much, taking a moment to choose how to react when they’re triggered, mindfully putting the screen down and knowing the importance of selfcare - the subtleties of yoga are there and I hope in time, their own yoga journey will unfold.

I’ve written a blog post about the big and small benefits of yoga for teenagers. We all know that the teenage years can be quite a whirlwind – school, friends, emotions, and a whole lot of changes🤪 🤯

As a parent, you’re always grasping for ways to support your teenager during this transitional phase, whether it’s to increase confidence, reduce anxiety, encourage them to open up, or help them to calm down, navigating the teen turbulence can be a rollercoaster for all! 🎢

And hang in there! 💗

🤸 TEEN YOGA 🧘 Thursdays 5pm at

When I started doing yoga at the age of 23, all I could think about was how helpful it could have been to teenage me - and that’s why I became a yoga teacher!!

This class for young people to have fun and find some calm in a non competitive, safe environment.

In each session you can

- learn yoga postures to build strength and flexibility in the body, and resilience in the mind
- practice simple breathing exercises to help manage stress & anxiety
- make time for complete rest and relaxation away from distractions

I have taught teenagers yoga since completing my training with in 2017.

I absolutely love these sessions and believe yoga and mindfulness are some of the most beneficial tools we can offer young people to help you navigate adolescence, school and the journey into adulthood.

Join me each week at Bloom Studio
Classes are £8 each or £40 for 6 sessions (to use over 3 months)

Join me for this 6 week course starting this Thursday at Studio ... if you would like to join online please just send me a message!

Learn tools through breathing exercises, mindfulness and movement to help manage the experience of stress and anxiety in your body and mind 🧠😌

Both mindfulness and therapeutic yoga are well known to help improve stress, anxiety and depression. You will learn how to develop your self-awareness, promote better functioning of the nervous system and understand philosophical yoga teachings that can offer positive changes to our wellbeing.

I have undertaken multiple trainings in yoga for mental well-being and this is where my passions lie. I like to think of yoga and it's many offerings as a tool box, from which we can take what we most need.

Each session shall focus on a particular technique, which you will be encouraged to practice at home in short manageable exercises that you can do on your own, I will explain the psycho-education behind what you learn.

This course is 6 weeks long and costs £60 - a 20% discount is available to NHS staff and students, just drop me a message to enquire ☺️

*This course will provide you with tools to help manage the symptoms of stress and anxiety. I am not a qualified therapist or mental health specialist, and will not prescribe any medical advice*

🥰 very much looking forward to being back teaching in the lovely studio tomorrow evening!

The past few months teaching you on a Friday evening from my makeshift home yoga room has been so special, and I’m so very lucky to be able to continue to have you online yogis still join in live from the studio through the power of technology! Even if you may be up North!

Join me Friday evening at 7pm for a super special class, a lovely gentle flow into super nourishing longer yin yoga postures. A couple of spots left in the studio (which now has a window! And lots of space between us all ↔️) , but if that’s not for you I look forward to seeing you on Zoom !

Ahhh 😌 how nice it is to be back to some kind of normal, and to have lovely spaces like 🌺
