Yoga with Katy. Bristol, UK

Scaravelli influenced yoga The style of yoga that I teach is a form of Hatha yoga and is influenced by Vanda Scaravelli.

Vanda worked with both B.K.S Iyenga and Desikachar and taking these influences brought her own unique and truly revolutionary approach to her practice. Vanda’s focus was on our vital core, the spine. By working with gravity we can create freedom in our spine which helps to create a feeling of lightness, allowing for more movement and freedom in our bodies. My approach is to spend time exploring ea

ch posture and to work with the body, rather than use force and fight against the body. We work in a more subtle, intuitive and intelligent way, to encourage the release of tension and work towards a more supple body. This practice is for you if you are seeking a more personal, slower approach to practice. If you are looking for a 'work-out' this isn't the place for you! This is the place for you if you:
- feel stuck in your practice and want to release unwanted tension (physical & emotional) which causes discomfort or limits mobility, find a balance between strength and softness, undo holding patterns, and discover more ease, lightness and spaciousness in both body and mind
- want a deeper practice where you gain an understanding and sense of each body part i.e. limbs, pelvis, spine, lungs, diaphragm, and its interconnectedness in order to function and breathe
- wish to gain an understanding of gravity/anti-gravity and how to utilise its full potential
- are looking for a mindful, meditative practice, that focuses attention on bodily sensation and breath, bringing us out of our busy heads and back home to the body.

I'm back!

I needed to take a little break from socials for a while.

Summer is always a full season, and life lately has been especially fruitful.

Most of my energy has been focused on supporting my 11-year-old as he prepares to finish his final weeks of primary school—a bittersweet season of endings and new beginnings.

Behind the scenes, I’ve also been quietly working to bring a vision to life— one that’s been perculating for a while.

And I’m SO excited to finally share it with you ✨

🌿 Root to Rise Retreats 🌿

An invitation to pause, anchor into your body, reconnect with your inner wisdom—and rise empowered into midlife and beyond.

As a Yoga Therapist + certified Yoga for Menopause teacher, I’m here to guide you through this transformative time. And help you shift from overwhelm, discomfort, and doubt, into a softer, steadier more empowered version of you.

Midlife isn’t an ending—it’s a powerful beginning.

An opportunity to take better care of ourselves, make healthier choices, and step into a fuller, more embodied and awakened version of ourselves.

Find out more (link in bio) and join me on the next Root to Rise retreat.

The first one is already fully booked!

But watch this space for more dates to be added soon. And sign up to be the first to hear 💫

Soggy half term dog walks!

Love this boy 🥰

Always up for doggy adventures. And rarely a moan.

Although the hot chocolate reward at the end might have helped a bit!

If you love being outdoors, and you are living in the UK, you have to embrace all weather.

Our walks are often where we have our best chats. It's where we reconnect as s family and recalibrate.

It's part of who we are and what we do as a family.

I'm ready for summer to return now though! 🤣

What a treat to be on retreat yesterday, and hosted by yoga teacher and friend,, Caroline .expansion.

The day was just the right balance of yoga, space to connect with others, take time for yourself, and enjoy the beautiful natural pool, delicious food and countryside.

Thank you Caroline 🙏❤️

Days like these feel such a luxury, and a gift when they happen. It's easy to arrive home and slip back into the routine all too quickly.

So i'm exploring ways of nurturing ease, and spaciousness daily.

Here's some ways i do this:

- Daily dog walks in nature

- Yoga snacks (10/15 mins daily is good enough

- Stopping for lunch

- Taking the time to prepare and sit down for family meals when possible

- Pausing for a cuppa

- Lying down for 10 mins or so

- Pottering. In the garden if the weathers nice!

How do you create space. I'd love to hear your ideas.

Enjoy the sunshine! 🌞

I returned from my Easter hols to find this at my door.

It"s a postcard from a client.

A reminder of why i do the job i do.

Thank you Chloe ❤️

Chloe wanted support with regaining strength and trust in her body again.

We worked together over 5 sessions.

1:2:1 sessions enabled Chloe to go at a pace that felt safe and comfortable for her.

And we were able to tailor sessions to focus on her needs.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Chloe, and witnessing the transformation. All her own work 🙌🌟

If you'd like to work with me, i have some space over the spring.

Drop me a message. I'd love to hear from you.

Love Katy xx

Mothers day can feel bitter sweet for many. For those that have lost, those that long for, and those struggling with motherhood right now. I'm thinking of you all today.

I'm also celebrating all the amazing mums out there. Doing one of the most important, yet unrecognised and undervalued jobs there is. You're amazing.

And celebrating my own wonderful Mum. We love you.

The Yoga Practice

The style of yoga that I teach is a form of Hatha yoga and is influenced by Vanda Scaravelli. Vanda worked with both B.K.S Iyenga and Desikachar and taking these influences brought her own unique and truly revolutionary approach to her practice. Vanda’s focus was on our vital core, the spine. By working with gravity and the breath we can create freedom in our spine, which helps to create a feeling of lightness, allowing for more movement and freedom in our bodies.

My approach to Yoga is relaxed and playful, and will allow you to explore connections in your body nice and slowly, refining how you move through a variety of Asana postures. Taking it slowly will allow you time to release any unwanted tension and habits in the body that limit your movement, helping you to open and strengthen without straining.

Enjoy finding ways to move in a balanced, easeful way towards each Asana, creating a sense of more space and resilience in both body and mind, and a renewed vitality that will help sustain you both on your mats and in your everyday lives.
