The real reason I opened A Fine Balance ✨

Hi, I’m Hannah - founder of AFB.
In my 20s I burned out completely. What began as stress became a breakdown, and I had to step away from work — and life — to rebuild. Therapy, medication, rest, and yoga.

Yoga especially changed everything. Daily practice calmed my nervous system, steadied my mind, and helped me so much. I still have challenges with my mind but feel more able to return to balance and my baseline is never as bad as it was at burnout. And that’s what I want for you too.

These practices inspired me to train, teach, and eventually open spaces where others could feel grounded, strong, and supported. From our first Upminster studio (opened while pregnant with little Theodora!) to our newest in Saffron Walden, our mission stays the same:

To create beautiful, welcoming places for feel good movement: where you can pause, breathe, move - and genuinely feel better.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment… this is it.
We’re relaunching our timetable on the 1st December this year… we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on 👀👀.
