Whether you’re a beginner or have been practising for years, my mixed-ability sessions are designed to meet you where you are – no experience is necessary.

Practising yoga in the comfort of your own home means there’s no need to travel or step outside – roll out your mat and join me in your own space. It’s flexible, convenient, and lets you focus on your well-being without the hassle.

Yoga offers countless benefits, including:

🧘 Improved flexibility, strength, and balance.

🧘 A calmer, more focused mind through stress relief.

🧘 Enhanced breathing and circulation for overall health.

🧘 A deeper connection between your body and mind.

This is another string to my bow, as I am passionate about helping people achieve better health, both mentally and physically. Yoga complements my wider work beautifully by supporting holistic well-being.

If you’ve been thinking about starting yoga or want to reintroduce it into your life, this is your chance. Let’s explore the benefits of yoga together in a way that fits your schedule and lifestyle.

You are welcome to join me on Wednesday at 8.00 pm

There is a link in the comments. Visit Eclipse Yoga website, and you can register, book and buy your pass for the 60-minute class. It will be £8.00 well spent. Feel free to message me for more details or to book your place. I can’t wait to welcome you to the mat!

I have been teaching Yoga for over 30 years and have never strayed off the path. One thing I have observed in my students when they start, over the years is how the body gets ignored.

Getting to a yoga class is easy when your mind is happy and the motivation is there. However, it is so easy to slide downwards and listen to the monkey mind that fills the headspace with negative thoughts.

Coping with all the stresses of life impacts not just the mind but the body as well. All the aches and pains, that one learns to live with can be minimised or eliminated with Yoga.

The Joy of Yoga is that you get to rebalance the body, focus the mind on being present and improve your capacity to breathe. My mission is always that students leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Listen to your body. What is it telling you, and what are you doing to look after it? Get in touch if you would like to know if Yoga can help you. 🙏

🍂 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻... 🍂

Autumn is my favourite season. And provides us with an important message. One I share with my yoga students.

As the golden hues of Autumn sweep across the landscape, we are gently reminded of nature's powerful wisdom. The trees, once full and vibrant, now begin to shed their leaves, letting go without resistance. This natural rhythm teaches us an important lesson: that change is not only inevitable but essential for growth.

Just as the trees release their leaves to make way for new growth in the Spring, we too must be willing to let go of what no longer serves us. It may be an old habit, a limiting belief, or even a familiar pattern of behaviour. It’s in the act of surrendering that we create space for renewal, for new possibilities to emerge.

Our lives are made up of seasons, each one guiding us to reflect, adapt, and transform. In this season of letting go, we are reminded that it’s okay to allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt. We may experience moments of sadness, nostalgia, or even fear, but it’s in acknowledging these feelings that we open the doorway to healing.

Just like the crisp air fills our lungs, let us breathe deeply and embrace change. Let us trust the process and honour the wisdom that lies in surrendering. There is beauty in release and there is freedom in letting go. We are also reminded that as the leaves fall and die, we are reminded too that life is not forever. Look after your body and live your best life.

Yoga allows us to embrace the change.

May this Autumn be a gentle reminder to allow ourselves the space to heal, to grow, and to flourish in our own time. 🍁

With love and warmth,
Caroline Purvey

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱...

I have been absent for a while for good reason. Let me share - after 12 years I was given notice that I would have to vacate my beautiful Studio, home of my Yoga and Total Release Experience® space for well-being. The building had been sold for development! I said nothing to my students until I knew what my next move would be. Knowing I would never find a match for the space I had, I trusted the Universe would provide the solution.

Whilst enjoying a cream tea treat at the Dover Marina Hotel & Spa with my husband and son Daniel, I felt 'Now is the time' I needed to ask the question, did they offer yoga. No - but were thinking of it. Within 24 hours I was back speaking to the owner. That evening the decision was made. Following a meeting with their team, on Tuesday my prayer was answered.

Like pulling a tooth I wanted to make it quick and clean. On Thursday the 14th of September, I invited all students to join me after class, to explain the situation. It was beyond our control. I shared that we were moving along the seafront, less than one minute's walk to the Hotel Spa and Gym. The best available space in Dover. Autumn reminds us that life is everchanging, this was another change to be embraced not feared. They were wonderfully supportive.

I spent 3 days with Daniel moving everything out. Tuesday I taught my first class. By Friday we cleared everything else, sold the beautiful bamboo floor and closed the door. The next had opened. Time now for a different adventure. Working in collaboration with the Hotel I am meeting some wonderful individuals, all my students embraced the change with me. Now we are settling in and adapting because things are different.

I thanked the Universe when I shut one door for the 12 wonderful years of the healing space I had. But also thanked the Universe for opening another, and providing me with the best I could have hoped for. I now feel part of a team and as well as Yoga I look forward to running TRE UK® courses, Workshops and Retreats in 2024. Thank you Hari Chokkalingam for working with me to make sure that we support the owner in building something new to support health and well-being for all.

It has been a busy two months and lots more on the table for November and December. Embrace change, my friends, have hope, we are all on a journey and we all have choices. I love change, I support others in change, trust the universe and good things will come, for as I share one door shuts and another will open, it will always be for the better. 🙏

P.S. An extraordinary thing, timing is everything, last week in the Hotel Foyer, - I chose to go through a different door. a voice called to me. There was my very first yoga teacher Penelope Pendlebury, visiting from London, not seen her in years. It was a wonderful moment.

You are never too old to do Yoga, nor is it ever too late to start! In fact, there has probably never been a better time. If you don't take care of your own body, then who will?

As long as you can breathe, my friends, you can do yoga. All abilities are welcome. Zoom classes start in September too, so you won't even have to leave your home.

DM me if you have questions. 🙏

Yoga has many ne=b3nefits for the elderly. No matter what is going on for you, you can improve your physical, mental & emotional well-being.
