Brave Yoga Yorkshire

I offer small-group and private yoga classes in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Whatever your age or ability, Brave teaches yoga for every body.

Specialising in Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga, classes aim to build strength, flexibility, and mobility. Welcome to Brave Yoga. I'm Brooke, a parent, an Aussie expat based in the UK, and an avid yogi. I've been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years but didn't start to take it seriously until I moved to a new part of town and was looking for a way to meet people, and exercise - in that order. I found an

incredible community and through those wonderful people who showed up to practice every day, and persisted through illness, injury, and all of life's little challenges, I learned to truly love yoga. It has given me a strength and confidence I take with me out of the studio and into every aspect of my life. I am more mindful in my approach to life, family, and my health and fitness. And yes, more brave. I didn't plan to become a yoga teacher, I much preferred being taught by someone else. But when I started working full-time my mentor, and friend, convinced me to join her 200 hour Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training course in Hong Kong. I practiced on my colleagues, and I saw the changes in them over time, physical and mental, and it made me want to keep teaching. The more I learned about yoga, the more I wanted to know, and I continued my education with a 50 hour Yin teaching certificate with Bernie Clarke in Vancouver, Canada. So, my classes are inspired by those who have taught me, and those who have practiced with me. Someone once told me that yoga should be a dance between the body and the mind. But I know that, for some, it's more like a wrestling match! I've been that person before, and some days still am. In my classes, I combine Vinyasa Flow and Yin, with conditioning and mobility work, to develop strength and flexibility. I cater for all ages, abilities, sizes and shapes, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling refreshed, nourished, and balanced - in both body and mind. You might even have fun. Classes are available in a supportive, small-group environment (TBA), and privately in your home. By joining me on the mat, you've already taken the first step on to the dancefloor, and that's the hardest part done. Are you ready to be Brave?

Today I want to share with you a little concept called Feelgood February. I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions or Dry January or any kind of commitment that can’t be sustained all year. January in the northern hemisphere is miserable enough! Plus it’s my birthday month so I want to eat cake. When we lived in Hong Kong I adopted Lunar New Year as a fresh start, a way to reset in a more laidback way and Feelgood Feb was born. Rather than restricting myself or limiting my options I make different choices. Eating better, moving more, stressing less. I still eat crisps and have a glass of wine every now and then but I don’t feel guilty about it because I have found a balance that works for me. Making better choices more often soon becomes a habit that lasts longer than a month. What do you think, could you adopt ?

Good morning yogis! A reminder that there will be no classes over the next two weeks as we break for half term. You can now book ahead for November and December, and the schedule remains the same. Private classes are available on request and times are flexible!
Unfortunately, I have had to adjust my prices slightly as hiring costs have gone up but if you are currently on a package you will not be affected by this. Enjoy the break and I will see you all on the 31st for some Halloween Yoga! 🎃
