For those who don’t know me yet, I'm Jamie and I’ve been teaching yoga for 14 years, and over that time I’ve had the privilege of working one-to-one with many wonderful people on a therapeutic level. Supporting seniors to move with more ease, reduce pain, rebuild confidence and reconnect with their bodies has become some of the most meaningful work I do — and I’ve seen truly fantastic results.

All sessions take place at our beautiful home, the Uppermill Community Yoga and Wellbeing Centre, right in the heart of Uppermill. It’s a warm, tranquil and safe space where you can feel completely supported from the moment you arrive.

I’m now taking bookings for one-to-one yoga therapy appointments. If you or someone you care about would benefit from gentle, personalised support tailored specifically to senior needs, I’d love to welcome you into the space.

Here’s to strength, steadiness and wellbeing at every age.

Being a human, I'm busy - aren’t we all? Mornings fill up quickly, the to-do list is already waiting, and that lovely idea of a calm morning self-care routine gets pushed down the priority list.

Work, messages, errands, responsibilities. Before you know it, it’s evening and you realise you never actually paused. And now you’re tired, so the idea of doing anything for yourself feels… unlikely.

I have those days too.

But something interesting happens when I do roll out the mat, even when I feel tired and slightly resistant.

It doesn’t drain the last bit of energy.

It creates a different kind of energy.

A few gentle movements.
A couple of deeper breaths.
Muscles softening instead of bracing.

It’s not a wired, caffeine-type boost (though don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for those too!). But it’s calmer than that. More nourishing.

The kind of energy that makes the rest of the evening feel lighter.

Sometimes yoga isn’t about finding time when life is perfectly organised.

It’s about giving yourself a small moment of care in the middle, or at the end, of a very normal, very busy day.

It’s Mother’s Day today, and it got me thinking about the idea of nurturing.
The kind of care that mothers often give so naturally — patient, supportive, encouraging, and sometimes gently reminding you to slow down or take better care of yourself.
In many ways, that’s what yoga feels like to me.
It doesn’t demand perfection. It doesn’t expect you to arrive feeling energised or flexible or even particularly enthusiastic. It simply meets you where you are.
Some days the practice is energising. Some days it’s calming. Some days it’s just a quiet hour of moving, breathing, and giving the body a bit of attention it probably needed.
But underneath it all there’s a sense of support — a reminder to look after the body and mind with the same patience and care we so often give to others.
On a day that celebrates nurturing, I’m feeling grateful for the people who offer that kind of support in life… and for practices that remind us to offer a little of it to ourselves too.
Happy Mother’s Day. Xx

Confession -
I didn’t leap out of bed full of enthusiasm this morning.
It was one of those groggy, slightly grumpy, not entirely feeling it starts to the day.
But on the drive to the venue, the mist was rising off the hills and the sun was just starting to break through. By the time I arrived, the light was streaming through the skylights and filling the room.
And then something else happened.
A few quiet minutes. A couple of warm-up poses before everyone arrived. A few deeper breaths.
And just like that… the mood shifted.
This is one of the quietly powerful things about yoga. You don’t have to arrive feeling calm, motivated, flexible, or “in the zone”. You just have to show up.
Movement changes things. Breath changes things. Being in a room with genuinely lovely people changes things.
By the time class started, the grogginess had gone, the grumpiness had disappeared, and we had an amazing session together.
Yoga helps the body, of course.
But very often, it helps the rest of you even more.
If you’ve ever woken up thinking “I’m not sure I feel like yoga today”… that might actually be the day you need it most.
Come and join us next Saturday morning.
Your future mood will probably thank you.

Yoga: preventative maintenance for being a person.
Most of us are doing a remarkable amount of being a person every day.
Sitting.
Standing.
Scrolling.
Carrying bags.
Carrying stress.
Occasionally carrying the emotional weight of replying to emails.
Over time your body adapts to all of it.
Shoulders creep forward.
Hips stiffen.
Breathing gets a bit shallow.
Your nervous system begins treating minor inconveniences like national emergencies.
This isn’t failure.
It’s biology.
According to research, regular yoga can improve mobility, reduce stress responses, and support nervous system regulation.
In other words, it helps maintain the system you’re using all day. Every day.
Not extreme fitness.
Not spiritual enlightenment.
Just routine maintenance for a very busy human body.
Schedule your weekly maintenance. Book your class now.

Something strange happens when yoga becomes normal.
Not exciting.
Not dramatic.
Just… normal.
You stop announcing that you “do yoga now.”
Instead, your back stops complaining every time you stand up, your shoulders quietly remember where they belong, your breathing slows down before your brain even realises you’re stressed, you move through your day with slightly more ease and slightly less irritation.
Nothing miraculous.
Just adaptation.
Research shows consistent movement improves mobility, strength, and nervous system regulation over time.
Which means the real benefits of yoga don’t happen in the first class.
They happen when it becomes part of your routine.
When it stops being something you try to do…
…and becomes something you simply do.
Like brushing your teeth.
But better for your spine.

Make yoga part of your normal week. Book your class today.

Last week in KYA the children created an obstacle course (or, in a slightly more professional language, a sensory circuit) independently.
There were jumping sections, different kinds of balancing challenges, cross-body movements, and a few yoga poses woven in along the way. They even decided to make it spring themed, which added a lot of creativity to the course.
What looked like fun (and there was a lot of that) was also doing some important work behind the scenes:
* balance and coordination
* cross-body movement, which supports communication between the brain’s hemispheres
* body awareness and motor planning
* creativity, cooperation and confidence
Just as importantly, the children were given choices.
I always think it’s important that children have options and a degree of control over what they’re doing. When children can make decisions about movement — how to approach a challenge, how fast to go, whether to repeat something — they feel safer, more engaged, and more confident in their own bodies.
And when children feel that sense of ownership, they don’t just participate…
They fully invest in the activity.

10/03/2026

When people hear "kids’ yoga", they often imagine small humans attempting impressive poses.
But the real benefits go much deeper than that.
Physically, our yoga sessions help children build strength, coordination, balance, and body awareness whilst having fun, not just through yoga poses but our warm ups, conditioning, partner work and obstacle courses. In a world where many children spend long hours sitting at desks or using screens, learning how to move, stretch, and breathe properly is incredibly valuable.
Mentally, yoga supports focus and attention. Simple breathing practices and mindful movement help children learn how to regulate their energy — calming down when they feel overwhelmed and waking up their brains when they feel tired.
Emotionally, yoga gives children tools to understand and manage their feelings. Through movement, breath, and short moments of relaxation, they begin to recognise what calm feels like in their own bodies.
Socially, practising yoga together encourages cooperation, empathy, and confidence. There’s no competition. No winning or losing. Just learning, laughing, moving, and supporting each other.
And perhaps most importantly…
Children learn that their bodies and minds are not problems to fix — they are things to understand, care for, and appreciate.
That’s a skill that can last a lifetime.
If you’d like your child to experience the benefits of kids’ yoga, we’d love to welcome them to class.

Balance.
Not the serene, one-legged perfection social media likes to show. The real kind. The wobbly kind. The kind that involves a lot of tiny adjustments.
That was the theme of this morning’s class.
Physically, balance poses ask a lot of the body.
Your feet work hard. Your core switches on. The small stabilising muscles around the ankles and hips wake up and get involved. Your nervous system sharpens its focus.
And yes… there may be a wobble or two. That’s not failure — that’s the practice.
Because balance isn’t about staying perfectly still. It’s about responding to constant micro-changes.
Philosophically, that’s where yoga becomes very interesting.
Life rarely gives us stable ground for long. Work shifts. Families change. Plans unravel. The unexpected arrives.
Balance in life isn’t about controlling everything around us.
It’s about developing the capacity to steady ourselves within the movement.
A calm breath.
A soft focus.
A willingness to wobble without giving up.
Sometimes the most balanced person in the room isn’t the one who never falls —
it’s the one who smiles, resets, and tries again.
If you’d like to build strength, focus, and a nervous system that copes a little better with life’s wobblier moments…
Come and practise with us.
Book your place in an upcoming class and join us on the mat.
