Well, the first week of March is done and what a start to the month! 🐢 🌱

​We even had a glimpse of spring this week—I actually went out without a coat! (It didn’t last long, but it felt amazing while it did! 😄)..........
​It’s been so lovely welcoming new faces to class and seeing that "aha!" moment of confidence during my 1-to-1 sessions.
Plus, a huge thank you to everyone who made our first sold-out Gong Bath with Harry such a success! The feedback has been wonderful, and I'm so glad many of you have already re-booked 😊........
​I was gutted to miss the first one, but when you bag £20 tickets to see Harry Styles, you have to take the leap! 🎤 It was an incredible night—if you’re a fan, definitely catch the show on Netflix!

​I know March hasn't started perfectly for everyone. Sending so much love and positive thoughts your way. Just know I’m always here with a mat and a space for you whenever you’re ready. ❤️

​Here’s to a beautiful week ahead!

Also try and get here about 5-10mins before the start to give yourself time to get settled.

Unfortunately I won't be there this time but I know you will all.make Harry feel very welcome 😊

I had a wonderful 45-minute 1-to-1 session this week with a client who had never tried yoga before. She came in wanting to work on lower core strength and general stretching, but like many beginners, she was a little nervous about 'doing it right.'

​What we actually did:
🧘‍♀️​No complicated poses. Just taking it back to basics
🧘‍♀️​Focused on breath-to-movement to wake up those deep core muscles.
🧘‍♀️​Used props to make stretches feel good, not forced.
🧘‍♀️​Laughed off a few wobbles (because wobbling is just your body learning!).

​The Result:
She left feeling taller, more relaxed, and—most importantly—confident that she can do this. 😊

​Why 1-to-1 works:
If a group class feels like a big leap, a private session lets us move at your pace, focus on your specific 'why,' and ask all the questions you want.

​Whether it's recovering from an injury or just needing a boost in confidence, I’m here to help you find your flow. 🌿

We all step onto the mat carrying something different. 🧘‍♀️

​For some, it’s a physical recovery; for others, it’s a mental escape or a way to navigate a difficult season of life. When you walk into this room, your "why" is your own.

​There is no judgment here. I don’t expect you to hit a certain pose or match the person next to you. My goal isn't to pressure you—it’s to hold space for you to find exactly what you need today. ❤️

​Stop worrying about what others are thinking. Everyone else is too busy focused on their own journey to notice yours anyway. Just show up as you are. That is always enough. ✨

Family Yoga is a great way to to enjoy some fun bonding time away from screens (while also getting in some exercise too!!)

Doing a yoga session together can:

✨strengthen connection through moving, breathing and laughing together
✨support emotional regulation - if grown ups model calmness, kids mirror it naturally
✨boosts physical and emotional wellbeing in a gentle way
✨gives children a sense of belonging - kids love seeing grown ups join in and it makes them feel included

Nest sessions are

Sat 7th March & 4th April 10.30-11.30am

All ages welcome

Ever wondered why we practice retention breathing? 🤔

Retention breathing isn't about "depriving" yourself of air; it’s about conditioning the nervous system. By intentionally holding the breath, we temporarily increase the concentration of carbon dioxide CO² in the blood which can help to release oxygen into the brain and muscles (known as the Bohr Effect).

The Core Benefits:
😮‍💨Nervous System Regulation: It trains the body to stay calm under a "stressor" (the urge to breathe), strengthening your vagus nerve and increasing heart rate variability (HRV).
😮‍💨Mental Focus: It acts as an anchor for the mind. It’s nearly impossible to worry about what's for tea when you are focused on a controlled breath retention.
😮‍💨Respiratory Efficiency: It improves your "CO² tolerance," meaning you won't feel winded as easily during physical exercise.
😮‍💨Alkalizing the Blood: Controlled breathwork can temporarily shift the body's pH, helping to reduce systemic inflammation.

Try it today with the 4-4-4-4 Box Breath (Inhale, Hold, Exhale, Hold).

⚠️Pro-tip: Always practice retention while sitting or lying down in a safe environment. If you’re pregnant or have high blood pressure, check with a doc first—safety over ego, always!

Save this for your weekend reset 💕

What is Turtle Yoga

Hi, my name is Helen and I’ve been running Turtle Yoga since Jan 2018. Based in between Halifax and Queensbury in the Holmfield area, I like to make sure our sessions are welcoming for all levels and a relaxed environment to just spend an hour focusing on yourself and your own practice.

We focus on different styles of Hatha yoga, with some breathing exercises, warm-ups and relaxation to finish, giving you a rewarding session that is great for the mind and body. It is also a very friendly atmosphere with a mix of people and ages.

If you are new to yoga and want to learn more about how to get into it, I would love to hear from you and chat about your experiences and what you’d like to get out of it.

A bit about me...
