Spirit 19 Yoga Mcr

Yes, that’s me!

I recently bumped into a woman who recognised me from my dance competition days, and it made me realise just how much dance has shaped my life.
I loved the lessons, friendships, rehearsals, shows and especially the duets, trios and teams. I wasn’t particularly competitive as a solo dancer, but put me in a team and I wanted my dance school to win — and we usually did! 

I learnt so much from my dance teachers, Miss Sharples, Miss Linda and Miss Karen — not just about dance, but about teamwork, discipline, confidence, organisation, posture, strength and resilience.

So many of those lessons have stayed with me throughout my work and personal life.

It’s not just education that shapes us. To all the teens waiting for their GCSE results, remember that your hobbies, friendships, teams and experiences can teach you just as much about who you are and who you can become.

What hobby did you have as a child that has stayed with you?

Yin & Yoga Nidra | A Journey of Rest, Reflection & Intention

Join us for a deeply restorative afternoon of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
We’ll begin with a gentle Yin Yoga practice, using long-held, supported postures to release tension and encourage deep relaxation. You’ll then be guided through Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep”), a restorative meditation that helps calm the mind, soothe the nervous system and leave you feeling refreshed.
Taking place on the symbolic date of 1/11, this session also offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and set intentions for the season ahead. Whether or not the symbolism of 111 resonates with you, you’re invited to slow down, reconnect and create space for yourself.
No experience is needed—everyone is welcome.

Feel Good Friday Yoga

Why I Love Yin Yoga
Yin yoga has become an important part of my wellbeing journey. One of the biggest benefits I’ve experienced is how much it has helped ease my sciatica. The long, gentle holds allow my body to release tension, improve mobility and create space where I once felt tightness and discomfort.
Beyond the physical benefits, yin yoga has taught me the value of slowing down. In a world that encourages us to keep going, it reminds me to pause, breathe and reconnect with myself.
