Jo Pirie Yoga
I trained in Kundalini yoga and Kundadance, with world-renowned yoga teacher and author Maya Fiennes.
Finally I turned my life long passion into being able to teach...
Just over 10 years ago…I was a new Mum, I had just lost my precious Step Mum, I was giving up my job at the BBC to start Bowery and enable me to be around for Oscar…everything was feeling overwhelming. As a firm believer in yoga I decided to try Kundalini, I hadn’t heard of it before and I discovered a teacher called Maya Fiennes - I ordered her DVD and tried it, I was completely sold. I followed all things Maya for a few years, read her book, practiced her DVDs and loved Kundalini. Roll on to 2020 and the pandemic, I started feeling overwhelmed again, Bowery falling apart, home schooling etc and suddenly Maya started appearing on my social media…before I knew it I was signed up to train with her as a kundalini yoga teacher, after months of intense training - I knew it was the best thing I had ever done. As Maya is in LA everything was online. On Friday Maya was in London, so we met for food and drinks, along with two other gorgeous teachers. They say never meet your hero’s….but I am so glad I did. Maya was like an old friend as we laughed and drank cocktails. So if you are still reading this and want to know more about Kundalini - either follow Maya or get in touch with me. I feel very lucky to have Kundalini and Maya in my life. ❤️🧘♀️
Years ago I made a documentary with Russell Brand, yesterday we met up and it was amazing to chat about our mutual love for Kundalini…much less stressful than our filming days together 🧘♀️❤️
This is such a great kundalini mantra meditation for children. I have witnessed the change in the mindset, every time I do it with my 6 year old or 11 year old. It resets the negative thoughts as well as calms the mind down…it also works for adults too! 🙏❤️

Free class tomorrow, I’m sending out the zoom link tonight, so just email me if you would like to join. If you can, please do donate to www.justgiving.com/jopirieyoga
Thank you to all that joined me on Sunday, it was absolutely fantastic and knowing that some of you have never tried yoga before and want to do more kundalini yoga is just brilliant.
Please remember to email me if you are interested, so I can send you the zoom link for Sunday/Wednesday? Total beginners welcome. 1 hour of relaxation just for you! Hopefully see you online 🙏
Last night I was reading the very powerful and devastating article by award winning journalist Alex Crawford. She was reporting on the millions of lives effected in Afghanistan, mostly detailing children and babies, utterly heartbreaking.
I started a just giving page where the money goes direct to who have set up an emergency fund. I am running free Kundalini yoga classes, for anyone interested in trying Kundalini yoga - they will be beginners classes and no experience necessary, also though zoom, so you don’t need to leave the comfort of your home. The only thing I ask is you donate to the disasters emergency committee, either through my just giving page, or direct to the charity. Email me to book, [email protected]. I have a class on Sunday at 11am and on Wednesday at 12pm. More to follow…

Why not start the New Year with a meditation? Ho’oponopono is also known as the Hawaiian meditation. You say it to yourself and ideally repeat it 108 times….
2021, the year I finally followed my dream and trained to be a yoga teacher. I wish you all health, love and happiness for 2022. Special thanks to my brilliant teachers and the friends for life, I have made during teacher training. .l.mcclelland and to the others that are not on Instagram 🙏 Sat Nam X

I have spent 6 months on-line, studying Kundalini yoga, with these beautiful ladies. The friendship we have built up, without actually meeting is extraordinary. Yesterday we got to experience 4 hours of a live yoga class, with our beautiful teacher and then we had dinner together. It was a wonderful 24 hour away. 🧘♀️
What is Kundalini Yoga? I get asked this all the time and I love to explain the differences! I love all yoga but I particularly love Kundalini.
