Beach Yoga*Nature Immersions*Indoor Classes*Yoga/ Yoga Therapy 1:1s
Fully qualified (YR/DSY750hrs), Outdoor sessions and events held in summer months.
Classes and Events to support people who give a lot and need refueling.
'To act more effectively and make a greater impact, we need to tend to ourselves- you can't give if you're depleted'
Many of us know this but have trouble implementing it. Our desire to help and support others takes over and leaves us with little time and reserves for ourselves. We end up worn out- tired, irritable, anxious or worse, burnt out. The classes address this, tipping the balance back in your favour, to support you and encourage self-care and understanding, so that you can leave replenished and grounded, ready to act on what your heart is calling you to do. In these mindfully-conducted classes, breathwork, movement and stillness are used to encourage and enhance inner reflection, exploration and self awareness so that the response can be the most effective- easing and healing the body, calming the mind and soothing the soul. Sessions are Bridport-based, beginners welcome in all classes.

Nature is inviting us to draw inwards right now- maybe you're feeling it? An urge to slow down, rest more, find quieter moments? To release whatever may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. To realign with yourself...
Next week I'm running a special One-Off event with just this in mind... Join me for a Restorative Session that will get you extra comfy and cosy, and allow your body and mind to settle into the winding down of the year that is Autumn.
My intention is that it’ll leave you feeling like you’ve just received a big warm, loving hug…
We’ll meet at 11am on Weds 29th for this 90min super-nourishing session that will support you in releasing into now. I really hope you can join me.✨
Everything is provided and all levels/ abilities most welcome.
Investment £20.
To schedule in your peace, just send me a message.

As part of our outdoor beach yoga sessions, students are invited to join me in cleaning the beach. We’ve been doing this since the beginning, in fact, the beach sessions started following a clean I organised when I got so frustrated by all the rubbish left on Eype beach, and realising it was too much for me to clean alone.
It’s so important that we connect to where we live, and to our community. Yoga is about connection- to ourselves and that greater than us. They all feed into each other.
In this simple act of cleaning after our classes, we take our yoga practice off the mat. We act in service.
We become a part of something, rather than a-part from it.
And it’s no hardship, enjoying listening to the sounds of nature whilst cleaning the beach. Sometimes we may feel like chatting, sometimes we might just be happy in our own little space, either way, it’s satisfying and feels good knowing you’re doing something of benefit to the environment.
If you’d like to join for either the yoga or the clean up, just drop me a message- it would be lovely to have you there.

Hi, I’m Leah. I thought I’d come on here and introduce myself as maybe you haven’t practiced with me before?
I teach yoga here in West Dorset- mostly on the beach (and with indoor options too).
I believe yoga can benefit everyone (and isn’t just for athletic types or those who can bend themselves into various shapes), and that nature is our greatest teacher.
I’m passionate about bringing people into a deeper place of peace within themselves and living fulfilling lives.
Over the next month I’m going to share what drives me, how nature and yoga connect, and invite you to join a session.
To start, I’m really interested to know- please tell me in comments: what draws you to yoga? ~Or puts you off?! 🧘♀️

On Sunday we lost our rescue dog following a walk that ended up in an out-of-hours emergency vets appointment.
For the second time, and with my second rescue dog, a walk at Cogden Beach resulted with serious injury from fishing line and hook- same beach, same cause of damage.
The boys and I were cleaning the beach as we walked along it, picking up bits of plastic, spray cans, a dog bowl….and fishing line…. Have you ever tried tearing that stuff? It’s impossible. And the hooks have non- return barbs that make removal extremely difficult without causing further damage.
I’ve organised cleans at this beach before as there’s always so much to clear- usually bits that get blown in or washed up from the sea.
As awful as Sunday ended up, it reinforces my desire to keep cleaning- both of my dogs have at least been lucky enough to have someone to get them treatment- I can only imagine how traumatic it must be for animals, birds and sea creatures that get entangled and endure lengthy and painful suffering/ death. It can’t be a pleasant way to go. Sunday was traumatic enough for all of us.
We’ll keep cleaning after our day-time beach yoga classes and I’m in the process of making these into bigger and more public events through the Surfers Against Sewage -Watch this space for more news on this.
Extra grateful for my yoga practice this week. Having a safe space to process thoughts, feelings and the heart- ache that life throws at us sometimes is invaluable 💔
Rest in peace doggo ❤️

My awareness of yoga as a life-changer came during a general yoga 'fitness' class- after an hours class of various postures, I found the 'rest' (savasana) at the end to be so powerful and realised it was much more than merely exercise. My journey had begun and now as a teacher, one of my main aims is to share this experience of peace and one-ness so that others can benefit as I have.
Studying during my 500hr Teacher Training Course exposed me to the vast scope of wisdom that Yoga has to offer- I will [can] never stop being a student of the subject. During the training, I became more interested in sharing the health benefits of the practice to others so that their lives can become more ease-ful and ultimately, fulfilling. I am now coming to the end of another 2 years of study, this time in Yoga Therapy, and enjoy sharing my learnings and the benefits of more specific practices in class.
I practiced yoga more specifically in the run up to the birth of my first child and am sure that the techniques I learnt in those classes were much of the reason why I had a positive birth experience. Yoga connected me to my body and gave me an increased confidence in my self- both in my physical body and in the power of my mind and how this could be influenced very positively by the use of the breath.
Since having my son (and going on to have another), I have been so grateful for my yoga practice and all that it has taught me (-it has definitely helped me to deal with and enjoy having two young boys!)… I have increased confidence, I am calmer, I have a more balanced perspective, I am healthier and more in-tune with my body, I no longer suffer from depression or anxiety (-and I have learnt more about myself and what I can do to protect myself from slipping into negative patterns which may lead me back to these), I have increased joy and contentment, I am less judgemental of myself and others, and perhaps most importantly I am kinder to myself (which I have also learnt is completely necessary in order to be able to give to others).
Experiencing all of these benefits personally led me to embark on becoming a yoga teacher as I want others to benefit as I have (and continue to do). I studied with Devon School of Yoga and am a fully qualified (500hrs) and insured yoga teacher.
I hope to be able to share what I have learnt with you and assist you wherever you might be on your yoga path!
