Let’s talk about class bookings:
In an ideal world I would ask everyone to book a block of classes, with your first class available as a standalone. In reality I know that for some people, committing every week is impossible. So, if the class has space I make drop-ins available at a slightly higher price. But the block booking is always the mainstay and here are the three main reasons why:

1. The financial commitment means I know whether or not the class is sustainable for me to run, that I can cover my own costs. I run small group classes so my margins are tiny and every space is important.

2. Your financial commitment makes it more likely you will keep showing up for yourself, even on days where you may not feel like it. Go you!

3. We can progress together across the block. My classes always have an overarching plan and structure, not just a random collection of whatever I feel like on the day. We develop key postures and techniques, modifying and adapting as we go, so that you can learn what your body needs and how to make the practice suit you. Steadily building strength, mobility and flexibility in the body, the breath and the mind.

So, if you want to come, but for whatever reason can’t attend regularly then do get in touch, I curate drop-in tickets as we go through the block depending on the space available and on what you need ###x

At home with our new kitten MacGuffin today. A great excuse for me to Slow the F**k Down, not that I should need one. Reminding myself that it's OK to just sit and be. That taking time for myself shouldn't be a luxury that I have to earn. Thanks little one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️NEWS ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I haven't had much uptake for either of my Wednesday morning classes for this block, and as I start a new part time job in a couple of weeks I have decided that it makes more sense to let these classes go until the new year while I let everything else settle.

It isn't an easy choice, I love teaching both these classes and have kept the time protected alongside my new start, but will have much less availability for all of the promotion and other stuff that goes alongside actually holding the sessions, in order to make them sustainable.

They can restart relatively easily if I get enough interest for the current days and times, do let me know.

Personal lessons, early morning club and Wednesday evenings at Kiva&Zen are all still happening, come find me in any of those settings ###x

Join me on Tuesdays for Early morning club! Starting Tuesday 4th November, all you need is a mat or blanket and a bit of space, and to set your alarm. This video is a 20 minute practice similar to what we will be doing. Come in your pyjamas, brighten up these dark winter starts. First session is just £3, give it a try! Link in bio ###

Book your space in my Wednesday evening class at Kiva&Zen - no experience necessary.

The approach that I use is called 'viniyoga', in which we adapt the practice to the individual, meeting where you are and with whatever your bring, at whatever stage of life. Please get in touch if you are unsure whether this class is for you.

The next block starts on 12th November and runs for six weeks. You can book your first session individually to try the class before committing to the rest of the block, link in bio ###

🌒🌓🌔BOOKINGS OPEN!!!🌖🌗🌘

I have a new timetable starting after half term, including my brand new Early Morning Club! This is running via Zoom, so if you would like to start your day with something just for you then all you need is a bit of space, a mat or blanket and to set your alarm, you can come in your pyjamas if you like 😁

The first week is a half price taster session so you can give it a try, what have you got to lose???

In other news Parent&Toddler Yoga has moved slightly later so that I can run Mini-Yogis beforehand. Yoga at Kiva&Zen returns at the same time of 7pm. For any of these classes you can try the class by booking a single session before committing to the rest of the block.

Individual lessons are always available, get in touch for more information and to book a free consultation.

The last two months have felt like a huge struggle and I know a lot of you are feeling it too. Hopefully the fog is starting to lift. Sending love ###

I am posting this because I am i the middle of this change. Leaving a safe job I was really good at because I just couldn't be that person any more. Wondering if I'll ever find myself again, a competent, organised, confident person, with faith in my ability to handle life. Emma has been by my side in this journey for a few years now, I cannot overstate how valuable this space has been. So if this resonates with you give her a follow ###

I'm sharing this again, as individual lessons form the foundations of what I do, flowing underneath the more temporary nature of group classes and underpinning my whole approach:

Have you ever considered yoga as a Personal practice rather than a group one?
Our needs as adults are so individual: our physical, emotional and psychological goals, the issues we are carrying, our circumstances, our commitments....

In 1:1 lessons we create and curate a bespoke practice for you to do regularly at home, cutting out the stuffing and getting down to what you need. Respecting the time and space you have available, working at your pace and responding to change.

This is Yoga as a personal journey, starting from where you are right now and asking where would you like to be? How would you like to feel? What would help with that? What gets in the way?

This process encourages and empowers you to support your own wellbeing, with dedicated holistic support to help you progress, adapt and to overcome obstacles as they arise.

An initial consultation is free and with no obligation. Lessons take place in St Thomas, Exeter and are provided in blocks of 6 to be taken over 3-4 months, working out at a similar cost to attending a weekly group class.

No Mini-Yogis tomorrow, sorry. I am rethinking when and how to offer this class and will be back after half term ###
