Desk Yoga for Working from Home


Now a lot of us are working from home we're spending more time seated, at often an uncomfortable desk. This can result in more stiffness. This is a 10 minute desk yoga class that you can do at your desk, with limited space. We'll stretch out the hands and wrists, neck and ankles, as well as moving through the 6 movements of the spine and hips. The class will help reduce stiffness, although it doesn't replace getting up from your desk and walking around :)

Yoga for the Winter Blues - with special cat appearance


This 45 minute yoga class will focus on poses that ease the winter blues and the effects of seasonal affective disorder (SADs). We will bring some focus to how we are feeling and how this changes throughout the class - reminding ourself that emotions are not fixed, they are ever changing and it's important to notice the absence of emotion as well as it's presence. Cool weather can also impact circulation, so we'll spend some time in poses which improve circulation. We'll also spend time in poses that calm the nervous system by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system (our rest and digest nervous system). Bonnie the foster cat does make an unexpected appearance towards the end of the class - so I apologise for the interruption. She just loves the attention and apparently enjoys yoga. #yogawithcats​ #winteryoga #yogaforwinterblues

Freedom Yoga Flow


Freedom Yoga Flow

This 25 minute yoga class is about building connection between your body and mind, by learning to notice how your body feels and how to move in a way that feels good for you and your body. This class is really all about you! We'll run through a fall yoga sequence, where I'll give you lots of options to inspire you to free style or even just stay in stillness, if that's what you feel you need. Take it as slow or as quick as you like. This class should help to create inspiration by maybe trying something new or a little differently. No props needed, although feel free to use them if you wish. Beginners welcome :)

WFH Dynamic Yoga Flow


A dynamic yoga flow which will focus on the areas of the body that tend to get quite tight and stiff from sitting at a desk all day. The class will stretch the hands, wrists, neck and side body. We'll also do a bit to strengthen the core (as a strong core is great for maintaining good seated posture). And we'll work to open up the hips and legs. There will be a lot of move in this class as we'll work through some dynamic movements. Great for anyone who works from home or spends a lot of time sitting down, driving or using a laptop or PC. Beginners welcome! No props needed. #workfromhomeyoga #yogafordeskworkers #yogaforpeoplethatsitdown #dynamicyogaclass #40minuteyogaclass

Digest & Detox Yoga

If you've over indulged a little over the festive period, then this class might be for you.
We'll focus on stimulating the organs that make up the digestive system and in doing so we'll also aid in detoxifying the body. The class will also include yoga poses that help with bloating and relieving gas. This is a beginner to intermediate class. There is one more advanced pose in the class, however this is completely optional. I'll give plenty of options, so of course beginners are welcome and may even enjoy the extra challenge.

Festive Family Yoga


A short, festive, 20 minute family yoga class - a bit of fun for the whole family. We'll get the body moving by going through 'Santa's Helpers training' - following movements and stretches that warm up the body and helps to develop body awareness and connection - and of course, have a little bit of fun while we're at it. A bit about some of the exercises: - Reindeer Breath (Horse Lips breath) - although it looks a little silly, it's a great way to relax and release tension in the jaw and mouth, and keep help to relax the body. - Reindeer stretches - helping to stretch and mobilise the spine (good for anyone that has been sat down for a while). - Riding the sleigh - lateral stretches that help to release tension in the side body. - Decorating the Christmas tree - developing concentration and focus with balancing poses. If you enjoyed the class then please consider donating to my chosen charity the Avon Wildlife Trust to help protect our wildlife and biodiversity: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisin...
