MINDFUL MOVEMENT TO NOURISH YOUR WELLBEING
Yoga Classes
Yoga classes to support women's wellbeing
I believe that every woman can benefit from taking time out from the busyness of modern day living to nourish and support their wellbeing, and for me, yoga and meditation are two of the most powerful ways to do this.
Each class is designed to support women's wellbeing with a curated blend of mindful movement, meditation, breathwork and relaxation techniques to bring balance to your body, heart, mind & soul.

-
Isn't mindfulness just relaxation?Whilst mindfulness can feel calming, the purpose of mindfulness is not simply to relax; it is to cultivate the skill of noticing what happens in the mind and body however it is: when there is discomfort, anger or stress as much as happiness, joy or ease. By noticing these things as they happen, you create the freedom to choose your response.
-
Is mindfulness religious?No, the mindfulness curriculums I follow are strictly secular. There are periods of sitting quietly and there is appreciation of how extraordinary it is to be human, but the framework is one of common sense and practical application.
-
How are you qualified to teach Mindfulness to young people?I am a qualified Mindfulness and Meditation teacher with additional qualifications in teaching mindfulness to children (Calm for Kids) and the Teach .B course from the Mindfulness in Schools Project. I also hold a Level 4 PTTLS qualification, D32 and D33 Assessor Awards and an enhanced DBS certificate. You can view all of my qualifications here
-
Does mindfulness for schools include yoga?The mindfulness curriculum I follow includes some elements of mindful movement such as mindful walking or mindfully being aware of our body during movement, it does not include traditional yoga poses. Similarly paying attention to the breath plays a useful role in mindfulness as it is always available as an object of attention, but so is the rest of your body, the food you are eating and the person you are listening to, the courses do not include any yogic breathwork techniques.
-
Is there any evidence for the benefits of mindfulness?Whilst still at a relatively early stage, the evidence-base for mindfulness is very encouraging. For example, brain imaging studies show that mindfulness practice reliably and profoundly alters the structure and function of the brain to improve the quality of thought, feeling and concern for others. Here is a link to an interesting study by the Mindfulness in Schools Project https://mindfulnessinschools.org/the-evidence-base/myriad-what-misp-learned/
