I said I was going to take a rest from training after the Gentle Years Yoga course. However, I've just registered interest in the BWY Cancer Module. After hearing on Monday that I'm finally cancer free it seemed like a natural progression.
Let's see where this takes me 🙏

I have been asked to cover some Chair Yoga classes at Calow Community Centre on Thursdays between 13:30 and 15:00. The dates I will be there are 23rd May, 13th June, 18th July, 22nd and 29th August. Each session is £10. There is 20 minutes of social time at the beginning of the session and the class starts at 13:50. Booking is advised to avoid disappointment on the day.

Alternatively I teach my own chair Yoga classes on Tuesdays at Monkey Park Cafe from 12:00 until 13:00. Each session is £8. I also offer online options via Zoom and YouTube. The class is really popular so booking is essential. It's highly likely I will be moving to a more spacious venue close by in the very near future to accommodate everyone comfortably.

For more information about the classes, content, venues, my teaching qualifications or to book please contact me on 07792 978880 or [email protected] or message me on FB 🙏

It's time to restart my chair Yoga classes! Starting on 7th May I will be running Chair Based Yoga on Tuesdays from midday until 13:00 in the Monkey Park Cafe on Chester Street, Chesterfield. Each session will be £8. Classes will be live streamed via Zoom, recorded and uploaded to YouTube, making them accessible to those who are unable to leave their home.

Chair Based Yoga is suitable for people who may struggle getting down onto the floor and / or getting back up again. The Gentle Years Yoga Teacher Training course I've been doing has been developed for people with aged related conditions. However, it's ideal for people with other conditions, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and anyone else who would benefit from a chair based Yoga practice.

Spaces are limited so if you're interested in joining us please contact me on [email protected] or 07792 978880 or via FB messenger 🙏

I had the honour and privilege of teaching this wonderful lady over the last few years. Even after her cancer diagnosis almost two years ago she continued with her twice weekly practice despite being in a considerable amount of discomfort and pain. Lovely Angie passed away on Monday 8th April. I'm going to miss her terribly. I have made a donation to Ashgate Hospice on behalf of all who knew her from Yoga classes. I will also be setting up a workshop in the Summer with the proceeds going to Weston Park Cancer Charity.
Night night Angie ❤️💔❤️

I'm going to restart my chair Yoga classes in the next few weeks. I'm looking for a venue with daytime availability on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. The venue needs to have sturdy chairs, plenty of space with even flooring, effective heating for the Winter months, WiFi, car parking, access to public transport and a reasonable room hire charge. I'd like to be able to cycle or walk to the classes so somewhere within a 2-3 mile radius of Chesterfield town centre would be ideal. If anyone would like to suggest venues that meet my requirements I'd be really grateful.
