Nelumbo Yoga

I strive to create a practice that is suitable for all levels - from beginners to those with more experience. Join just as you are.

Nelumbo Yoga was founded by Joelle Pettitt in 2011 and provides both Ashtanga Yoga, Dynamic Power Vinyasa, Restorative, Pre and Postnatal Yoga classes as well as private one-to-one yoga tuition in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & London. Yoga classes involve a sequence of postures, focusing on linking breath with movement in a dynamic flow to leave you feeling energised, invigorated and relaxed. My belief is that yoga is about learning to respect your body whilst daring to challenge yourself to improve the strength and flexibility of both your body and mind.

🌿 Our September Retreat is now right around the corner and we'd love for you to join us! 😀

• Is it really possible to eat for better hormonal balance, or are ‘hormone-friendly’ diets just another trend?
• How will nutrition actually help with my sleep, skin, or cycle?
• Are my hormones responsible for me suddenly feeling more tired, moody, or struggling with weight changes?
• What foods – if any – truly support perimenopause and menopause?

With so much conflicting information out there, these are just some of the questions we’d love clear honest answers to.

That’s why we’re so excited for a powerful lunchtime discussion at our Retreat Day with dietitian and women’s health expert Dr Claire Pettitt, PhD CP Nutrition. And we'd love for you to join us!

Claire will break down what it really means to eat for hormone health — and what small, sustainable changes can help you feel your best.

Along with our countryside walk, grounding yoga, and a fantastic community of like-minded women, this is a day to tune in, take care — from the inside out ✨

Booking link below. Limited spots remaining.
