Mindful Yoga with Lissy

05/01/2026

Happy New Year 2026 🥳

I am still here, yoga’ing regularly for my own quality of life and peace of mind, whilst working hard as a special needs teacher and looking after my mental health. Here I am multitasking… yep you can see a research backed book about teaching reading to children with complex needs 😂

I would loooove to offer some form of yoga or workshop in 2026, perhaps for the Spring Equinox. If you would be interested let me know! This would likely involve gentle movement, breath work I have learned along the way, sensory stimulation (think essential oils, candles and fluffy blankets) and some journaling. Do not let cost stop you as this would be donation based with a small minimum cost. Logistics can be organised if people are interested!

Whatever you do this year, move your body. Whatever you can manage, even if it’s in bed! Hug those knees in to your chest and give yourself a big hug. Tap and rub your shoulders for some somatic release. Roll your shoulders and close your eyes as you take long deep and slow breaths. Our mind and bodies are connected and both need nurturing.

Hi everyone 🌻🧘

I just wanted to say hello to you all really. I hope you are all enjoying the milder weather with the sunshine today, it kinda feels a teeny bit like spring!

I’m still here, spreading as much kindness and positivity as I possibly can. I have also started delivering yoga classes to staff at work every Wednesday evening 😌

I hope you are all still finding the time to be present with your bodies and minds in whatever way works best for you.

Hello everyone 💜

This weeks class will be my final class for a while as I step back into my SEN teaching career at the start of September.

As it’s the final class of the summer, I want to know what YOU would like to be included and I can create a class that encompasses your wishes. It might be a posture we’ve already done but you’d like to try again, a specific kind of meditation or a new posture you are curious about. PLEASE let me know in the comments below or message me directly- I will be planning the class in the next few days ready for Thursday eve.

I have also decided that to continue our lovely community I will be offering a workshop in each school term holiday. So one to look forward to in October, Christmas, Feb/March and Easter ☺️ watch this space for more details in the coming months.

I will continue to be live on here, liaising with the local community for opportunities and will always be thinking of how I can continue to share yoga and mindfulness with you.

So much love to you all 💜🧘See you Thursday and don’t forget to comment below!!

What an amazing session we had today.. super relaxing, comforting and restorative. So proud of my students 💜

Yin yoga allows our body to settle into postures for longer and works into our connective tissues, rather than the muscles which Yang yoga targets. It also allows for greater emotional introspect as there is no rush and a real sense of stillness which can make our thoughts seem louder and may create more of a challenge to be mindful and present. We held postures for 1 minute today (the idea is to build up over time to around 5 minutes) and focused on breathing into our bellies and counting each breath to keep ourselves anchored into the present. ☯️

Next week will be the final session for a while as I am going back to my teaching job at the start of September! Please come along if you can- 7pm @ Studio 2, Kingfisher Shopping Centre 😌💜

Hello my lovely yogis! 🧘 😌

I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday evening @ 7pm for a restorative, yin style class. This will be slower paced and will include music and a strong focus on breathing throughout.

*Please bring a blanket or a pillow to use as a bolster as I do not have enough spares for everyone. If you do not bring one you will not get the full benefit of the practice*

To book your place please send me a direct message! Thank you and see you on Thursday evening 💜
