Yoga for Chronic Pain – Gentle, Supportive, Real

I’ve been a yoga teacher for 15 years, and today I live my life managing chronic pain after a spinal injury. Being back on the mat has become part of how I navigate each day, and I now share yoga specifically with people who are also learning to live alongside pain rather than fight it.

My classes are designed for real bodies, real lives, and real challenges.
We move gently, breathe deeply, and create space in the body and mind. I use Tibetan bowls and crystal bowl sound to support relaxation and nervous system calm.

Class Times:
• Wednesdays 11:00–12:00
• Thursdays 12:30–1.30pm
£8 drop in or
Course:
A block of six classes for £40 — one class free as a thank‑you for committing to your own wellbeing.
Can be used within 3 month period

I currently have a few spaces left in each class.
If you’re living with chronic pain and want a safe, steady, compassionate space to move and breathe, message me for more information.

Gentle Yoga for Chronic Pain 🌿

After 15 years of teaching yoga, my practice took on new depth following a car accident that left me with a spinal injury. I now move slower, breathe deeper, and teach with even more compassion—for the body’s wisdom, its limits, and its capacity to heal.

This new class is for anyone living with chronic pain, fatigue, or simply needing a softer approach. We’ll explore gentle movement, breathwork, and deep rest to support your nervous system and ease tension. No pressure, no pretzel poses—just a kind space to reconnect with your body.

🧘‍♀️ Wednesdays 11–12pm at Yoga Life Studio
🧘‍♂️ Thursdays 12:30–1:30pm
💷 £8 drop-in

Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after injury, you’re warmly welcome. Come as you are—let’s move with care, breathe with intention, and honour what’s possible today.

With love,
Tessa 🌸
