Discover Yoga. Discover You.

Fancy moving a little more… but gently? ❤️

Not everyone wants a fast-paced class — and you certainly don't need to get up and down from the floor to enjoy the benefits of movement.

My daytime Seated Yoga & Tai Chi classes are a lovely mix of gentle stretching, mobility, balance, breathing and flowing Tai Chi movements — all with the support of a chair whenever you need it.

We move.
We breathe.
We have a laugh. 😂

And sometimes cake (actually quite a lot of the time!! )

And there's absolutely no pressure to keep up with anybody else.

These classes are particularly lovely if you're looking to stay mobile, build confidence and balance, or simply feel a little better in your body... (and like a chat sometimes too)

🌿 Wednesdays 11.15am — Emersons Green Village Hall
🌿 Thursdays 9.30am — DYDY Studio, Chipping Sodbury

And yes — complete beginners are VERY welcome.

Come exactly as you are. There is a seat waiting just for you.. ❤️

Can I ask you a question? ❤️

When did you last really check in with your body?

Not what it looks like.
Not what it weighs.
Not whether it can touch its toes. 😂

But how it actually FEELS?

Are your shoulders creeping towards your ears?
Is your jaw a little tight?
Are you tired, restless or stiff?
Or perhaps you’re feeling pretty good today?

One of the things I love about Yoga and Tai Chi is that they give us a little space to notice.

Not to judge.
Not necessarily to fix anything.
Just to listen. 🌿

Our bodies carry us through an awful lot every single day. Maybe today, give yours a little kindness back eh?

Roll your shoulders.
Take one lovely slow breath.
Have a stretch.

There… you’ve already started. ❤️

Love Lou x

Do you know what I love most about teaching? ❤️

It isn’t perfect poses.
It isn’t touching your toes.
And it definitely isn’t everyone doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. 😂

It’s the people... Community....

Watching someone walk through the door for the first time, perhaps feeling a little nervous or wondering whether they’ll fit in…

…and then, a few weeks later, seeing them arrive, kick off their shoes, say hello to familiar faces and realise:

“Oh… this is my place too.” ❤️

That’s what I hope we’ve created at Discover Yoga Discover You.

A place to move, breathe, learn, laugh, sometimes wobble — and simply belong.

Because yoga and Tai Chi may be what bring us together…
but the people are what make it special. 🌿

Do less. Receive more. 🤍

Sounds odd eh? - But sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is simply… less.

Less rushing. Less pushing. Less doing.

Simple Sunday Slow Flow with Lou is just that - a simple hour to breathe, soften, gently move and allow your whole system to settle before the week begins again.

No achievement required.
No loud music.
No distractions.

Just come along, get comfortable with cosy props and let the practice meet you where you are. ❤️

🌿 Sundays 9.30am
DYDY Studio, Chipping Sodbury

Your Sunday morning pause.

And if you sometimes get those "Monday morning blues" perhaps this gentle class is exactly what you need — a little "Sunday Oasis" to soften the edges, settle the mind and meet the week ahead a little more gently.....

So, come and join us. 🤍
It's lush x

What actually IS Tai Chi? ☯️

You’ve probably seen those beautiful, slow, flowing movements and thought… that looks rather lovely....

And it is! ❤️

But Tai Chi is also a wonderful way to gently work with balance, mobility, coordination and focus, while giving a busy mind somewhere quiet to go for a while.

And no — you absolutely don’t need to know what you’re doing before you arrive. 😂

That’s what I’m here for!

Come and have a go…

🌿 Mondays 4.45pm — DYDY Studio, Chipping Sodbury
🌿 Tuesdays 5.45pm — DYDY Studio, Chipping Sodbury
🌿 Thursdays 2–3pm — Downend Pavilion

Beginners very welcome.

PLUS Tai Chi really is a gift that keeps on giving… and it’s even nicer shared.

So fancy bringing a friend and trying it together?

✨ If it’s your first Tai Chi class with me, you can both come along for just £5 each.

Slow down. Move. Breathe. See how it feels. ☯️❤️

See you there!

September always feels a little like a fresh page, doesn’t it? 🍂

New pencil case… new bag… shiny new pens.
Ahhh, I remember those days! 😂

There’s still something about September that gives us that little feeling of starting afresh. Even today I get excited — and I’m way past my back-to-school days!

But the lovely thing about coming to my gentle yoga classes is that you don’t need anything shiny or new

No new body or uniform
No new level of fitness.
No new version of yourself.

Just the lovely you — exactly as you are. ❤️

So, if you’ve been meaning to get back to your mat — or perhaps you’ve been thinking about trying yoga for the very first time — maybe September is your little nudge.

Come as you are.
There’s a mat waiting for you. 🌿

Oh, and if you need a lovely little sticker for coming along, I can arrange that too! 😂⭐️

Pick your fave session here https://bookwhen.com/yogawithlou and I'll take the register when the bell goes.....😂

Hope to see you soon.

Bank Holiday Sunday sofa scrolling? 😂❤️ Me too!!

If you’re sitting there starting to think about the week ahead, perhaps pop something lovely in the diary for YOU too.

Maybe you’ve been wondering what Tai Chi is actually like? ☯️

Maybe you fancy trying a different Yoga class for a change?

Or perhaps you’ve not been to class for a little while and your mat is quietly wondering where you’ve gone. 😂🧘‍♀️

Have a little look at my new timetable on Bookwhen and choose something that takes your fancy….

You don’t have to stick to your usual class — mix it up, try something different and come and move with me. ❤️

Yoga • Tai Chi • Slow Flow • Seated Yoga & Tai Chi 🌿

👉 Have a look & book your class for the week ahead⁠

See you somewhere on the mat — or perhaps trying a little Tai Chi! ❤️

They say there are two types of tired… ❤️

The kind that needs rest…
and the kind that needs peace

Sometimes, I think we need a little bit of both.

And so, here enters… the “Nanny Nap”. 😂❤️

If, like me, you absolutely adore your children and grandchildren, but sometimes need a little time to refill your own cup, well, I’ve got you… because I completely understand!

So why not come and take a Sunday morning pause with me and experience a little “Nanny Nap” style of yoga?

Restful. Nourishing. Peaceful. Recharging.

So you can be dancing around the living room again, treading on Lego — in no time! 😂

🌿 Sunday Slow Flow with Lou
🕤 Sundays 9.30am
📍 Discover Yoga Discover You Yoga Studio, Chipping Sodbury

A simple hour to slow down, soften, breathe and re-nourish yourself before stepping back into everything — and everyone — you love.

Let’s pause, rest and refill our cups together. ❤️

See you on the mat (and resting!) soon…

Love (Nanny) Lou x
