Welcome
Revitalise and relax mind and body with yoga.
Fun and varied classes to suit all levels by BWY qualified teacher.
Why yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice originating in India and dates back as early as 600 B.C. It is more than a series of physical poses. It is a whole system which brings health and harmony to the mind, body and soul by improving the energy flow or prana within the body.
Whether you are looking to increase flexibility and strength, to restore posture and health, to improve energy levels and confidence to deal with new challenges, to de-stress or simply a good night’s sleep, regular yoga practice may provide this.

About
Practising yoga for over 20 years and teaching since 2007, Mandy qualified with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) Teacher’s Diploma course. Her tutor was Rosemary Bennett.
"I enjoy the variety and freedom of yoga where you can tailor it to how you feel and what you need at a moment in time - strength, flexibility, flowing sequences (vinyasas) or a more gentle relaxing session."
Mandy teaches Hatha based classes with influences from her teachers and the workshops she has attended over the years. Her classes combine postures (asanas) with breathing (pranayama) and mindfulness or meditation and end with a short relaxation session. She is particularly interested in yoga therapy and has attended workshops on this, including an Ayurvedic workshop with Mukunda Stiles. Mandy completed the Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs (YHLB) teacher training with Alison Trewhala and is now running her own YHLB courses. Mandy also qualified in Yin Yoga Teacher Training Level 1 in 2021.
Testimonials

"I love Mandy’s yoga sessions as we are encouraged to do what we can with an eye to moving out of our comfort zone if she feels we are able to, improvement soon follows. I always feel stretched in a good way after every session and try not to miss them as I feel they really help my fitness level which is great for me as I am not a ‘gym’ person."

"Mandy is a wonderful yoga teacher. She puts together enjoyable, flowing routines which are different every week. She explains the poses clearly and demonstrates when necessary. I love her sessions! Thank you Mandy."

"Just love my Thursday intermediate yoga classes with Mandy and the other students. Mandy’s instructions are clear and easy to follow and she always has an alternative if any of the poses are not appropriate on that day for students. Lovely, warm, inspirational yoga teacher."
