Kelly Slade Yoga

Kelly Slade Yoga Hi, I offer Vinyasa flow, Dynamic Hatha, Yin, yoga Nidra and Breathwork in East Sussex. Twice yearly affordable luxurious European overseas retreats too.

I have studied many styles of the physical forms of yoga including Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram, Hatha, Restorative, Yin to name but a few and my style of yoga reflects what I deem are the best bits of all of these. I have a deep respect for Pranayama, meditation, as well as Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) and I love to incorporate these elements into my classes as they are so beneficial for our health and well-being. My inspiration comes from you... my awesome yogi tribe that just inspire me every day. You all help me realise my dream of sharing my passion for yoga with you. Through creating a safe space and placing emphasis on softening and synchronising your breath I will guarantee you will flow with more ease than you believed possible which will, in turn deepen your practise.

‘Brits waste £503 million on unused gym memberships in 2025‘

Apparently in 2025 us Brits wasted over £500 million on gym memberships. Why? Because we have good intentions to realise a better lifestyle. A better mindset and fitness.

But why don’t we continue? For many many people their intentions are not sustainable. They are working on the assumption that something is wrong and it needs fixing. You’re working on a goal that is constantly moving. You tune outwards. Comparing yourself to others and lap times or step counts or weight reps.

Yoga isn’t like that. We focus inwards. We learn about how our body and mind is feeling and this takes time and commitment. But we learn so much about ourselves. We accept. And when we move we do so mindfully. It’s from a place of acceptance and love that we will see the changes we so desire.

So when you come to me and ask me to accept you as a PAYG class member on a course class, I’m afraid not. I ask that you commit to yourself and your practice. I ask you prioritise yourself so I can keep showing up for you too. It’s an exchange of energies. I’m not a big company where you are one in a huge number of people. You are welcomed into my community and a space is held for you. Not just physically either. I care so you need to too.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry I can’t offer you a sporadic class. Because in my humble opinion you are simply worth more than that. You are worth an hour or two a week. So commit. I’m there, I’ve planned a full rounded course of classes for you so you can fully understand the benefits of yoga. Of being present.

All I ask is you think twice. Maybe don’t waste your money on a monthly gym membership in January. Come to yoga. Because until you know how it feels to be part of such an incredible community where we move, breathe and laugh together; are you actually truly present at all? 🤷‍♀️

Good morning all. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and are ready to embrace the new week ahead.
I love the start of a new week. I carve out some me time and prepare myself for a week of welcoming my yogis to class. Every day I wake up with immense gratitude for every one of you that supports my goal of sharing yoga.

Thank you everyone who came to receive yoga Nidra yesterday evening. I hope you slept well and have awoken rested and refreshed.

See you at class this week. I love to welcome new yogis so if you’re debating starting in January, don’t wait until then. There’s still 4 whole weeks to enjoy before we break for the Christmas period

‘When the breath wanders the mind also is unsteady. But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breath.”

— Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Practice yoga: achieve space, clarity and focus. The poses don’t matter, the breath and prioritising your own self care does. You just need to be motivated to show up.

On Monday I had a brain fart….
Perimenopause, overload, overthinking, overanalysing and the list goes on… for the second time ever; I forgot the sequence I was teaching 🤦‍♀️. A yoga teachers’ worst nightmare.

I prioritise my self care daily so I can offer you; my yogis everything I can. I show up for myself so you all can learn from my example. But lately I’ve been doing too much. I feel it but I’m ploughing through a to do list at home that’s never ending.

I’m doing what I tell you all not to do. Ignore the inner voice that’s asking me to slow down. Take a breath, try not to be everything and everywhere. Because ultimately it shows up negatively in our lives. We may be shorter with our temper, we may not prioritise a healthy eating regime or our inner work like time on our mat. Allowing the thoughts to run away from us in meditation.

It’s so easy to get caught up with it. Especially on the run up to Christmas.

So many people look to me as being the one who has it all figured out. But I’m not perfect. I know what I know. I teach what I know. But what I need to keep being reminded of is when I try too hard, I don’t show up well.

Thank goodness I have the most incredible yoga community. On Monday they laughed at me and with me as I stood there like a lemon 🙄. But I learn by those little events that have shown up and my affirmation this week is; ‘I am showing up for myself, it’s ok to slow down’.

Want to slow down with me? Yoga Nidra on Sunday in Berwick 6-7pm or join a class where our community is the best part of it all 💕

Ooh it’s feeling wintery out there this morning. Wrap up warm. I’ll be walking and enjoying the sunshine with a sea swim before I welcome you to Berwick this evening.

Expect a fiery flow this evening. The hall is always arm and welcoming but let’s build some internal temperature! 💪

So what is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is literally translated as ‘Yogic Sleep’. It is a state of guided relaxation which allows you to surf the border between awake and asleep. Yoga Nidra we are just allowing the different states of consciousness and feeling the body as it relaxes the mind.
Yoga Nidra is received lying down. All you need to do is get comfortable and receive.
In my sessions, I will guide you through some techniques paying particular attention to our body and breath.
This enables us to really feel the body and allows interoception to improve. This, in turn will enable us to respond to our body earlier, before we get ill and burn out.
At the point of the wake/sleep border where Yoga Nidra lies, (Alpha/Theta brain wave = REM sleep), Cortisol production actually ceases and enhances creativity, memory and on a physical level, carbohydrates and cholesterol are metabolised.

I wonder, if you just pencilled in the time now into that busy diary to come and join me, what would happen? Life can become overwhelming sometimes and that’s totally cool and nothing to be ashamed of. Hey, it’s what keeps us motivated right? But what if… what if, just for a short period of time you received something that gave you the gift of resting and recharging? Bringing with it a clarity and a mental focus that will only serve to enhance your mood and well-being.
Sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves is time. 💜

Almost forgot this was the whole point… the reason I do what I do.

Bringing like minded people together. For delicious food, time away from the day to day grind of life. A chance to reconnect with themselves and others. Many come on retreat as strangers and leave as life long friends.

It’s not about the physical yoga practice. One could argue that’s what yoga is all about. Reuniting your body and mind once again.

For me; it means I get to teach you all how to breathe, be still and that’s it’s ok to let go. It’s ok to prioritise yourself. You will feel more centred and simply a better version of yourself.

I provide the space you just need to be motivated to put yourself first for a change. It’s not self-ish. It’s self-care.

Will I see you in Ithaca in May? Only a couple of spaces remain. Link in bio. Visit the website for more information.

“Be where you are — otherwise you will miss your life.”- Buddha

Come to yoga, be still, be present. But most of all enjoy moving your body mindfully. Learning more about yourself each time you link breath to movement. Finding your edge. You just have to be motivated to give it a go and show up.

Book through the website. Link in bio.

See you on the mat. Have a lovely weekend all.

“Your body exists in the past and your mind exists in the future. In yoga, they come together in the present.” - B.K.S. Iyengar

I’ve been speaking about stillness in my classes this week. The ability to pause and strip away all other distractions. The world and life is so full of information. It’s busy and noisy.

So rarely do we get to stop and listen. Listen to the sounds around us in nature or immense in the rhythmic nature of our breathing.

Yoga is this. It’s not to be performed by the act of a few poses. There’s no where to get to, nothing you need to achieve. If you’re looking for an exercise program yoga isn’t that. But many come for the challenge of the poses and that’s fine. Whatever gets you through the door…it’s how I came to yoga.

When we pause or stop it gives our selves chance to check in. With how we’re feeling or if we’re on the right path. It’s so important but yet we don’t do it.

Come to a class with me and I’ll show you how to disrupt those thought patterns so you can come home to yourself.

If you’re looking for a Yoga Nidra class the next one is on Sunday 23 November. This deep rest reset could be just the thing you need.
