Purple Tree Yoga

After over two years, I taught my last class at Redcar Leisure Centre last Thursday. It was the first group class I taught after finishing my yoga teacher training, and I still remember how nervous I was going in.

I went from teaching one-on-one classes with friends online to teaching 25 strangers in person. 🙈

But I needn't have worried. Everyone was so lovely, and I felt so comfortable from the very beginning. 🥰

It's no surprise I was a little emotional after teaching my last class. What I didn't expect was the presents, cards and this gorgeous bouquet. 💐

So, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. I will miss you guys, and I already can't wait to see you again sometime in the future! 💜

Hello, hello, I’m still here 🙋🏻‍♀️

I guess we can all agree that social media isn’t my favourite thing. But I do check my messages regularly and I am here if you have any questions. 😊

There has been a slight change in my weekly timetable. I no longer teach the 1:1 and yin yoga at Studio 21, Pilates, Yoga and Movement Studio on a Friday. Instead I now teach 2 new regular classes at David Lloyd Teesside on a Friday morning.

A gentle yoga flow at 9:20am and a yin yoga at 10:15am.

My current timetable:

Monday at Studio21 Yarm
16:15 One-on-One Session
17:25 Beginners Yoga (Gentle Vinyasa)
18:30 Dynamic Vinyasa Yoga
19:35 Yin Yoga

Tuesday at Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Ingleby Barwick
19:45 Yoga Flow

Wednesday at Studio21
19:00 Gentle Vinyasa

Thursday at David Lloyd Teesside
9:40 Power Yoga

Thursday at Redcar Leisure Centre
19:15 Yoga Flow

Friday at David Lloyd Teesside
9:20 Gentle Yoga Flow
10:15 Yin Yoga

I’ll see you on the mat 💜✌🏼

Nydum Yoga and Retreats was bliss! 💚

The short week I spent at this beautiful place was very special. I have learned so much and I can’t wait to implement my new found knowledge in class. I might also be starting a prenatal specific class at some point 🤰🏻

The main thing I have learned in this course is that pregnant women NEED to keep moving! I now know how they safely can and I can’t wait to share this knowledge 🥰

This is going to be my view for the next few days at Nydum Yoga and Retreats 🥰

I am here for a prenatal yoga teacher training and it’s such a beautiful place! Looking forward to what the week will bring 💜

Join me at beautiful Studio21 in Yarm high street for some Yoga classes. 🥰

I teach five classes and two 1:1 sessions a week.

There are two gentle vinyasa classes that are great for absolute beginners. 🧘🏻‍♀️

One dynamic vinyasa class for those who like to move faster and explore more advanced poses. 🤸🏻‍♀️

And two yin yoga classes for those looking for a deep stretch and relaxation. 😌

It is such a beautiful space, and I love teaching here.
The classes are small, with a maximum of 10 members in each class, which means I can focus more on each individual.

If that's still not small enough for you, however, feel free to contact me about the 1:1 sessions.
These are great for anyone, whether you are just starting out and would like to try yoga outside of a class environment or if you are looking to deepen your practice or work on specific poses/exercises.

Timetable:
Monday 16:15 One-on-One Session
Monday 17:25 Beginners Yoga (Gentle Vinyasa)
Monday 18:30 Dynamic Vinyasa
Monday 20:35 Yin Yoga

Wednesday 19:00 Gentle Vinyasa

Friday 11:00 Yin Yoga
Friday 12:15 One-on-One Session

I'll see you on the mat 💜

You need to have some experience of Vinyasa style yoga as the workshop will include a fast paced vinyasa warm up.

Happy New Year 🥳

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I will be offering 1:1 sessions at Studio 21, Pilates, Yoga and Movement Studio in Yarm twice a week, starting mid-January. 🧘🏻‍♀️

I am also excited to announce that I will be teaching a regular class at David Lloyd Clubs very soon! Starting on Thursday, the 9th of January, I will teach a weekly 9:40 Power Yoga class. I can't wait for lots of fun, sweaty sessions 💪🏼😁

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄🥰

I will be offering 1:1 sessions at Studio21 in Yarm starting in January. Whether you want to try yoga for the first time, improve your current practice or work on specific poses with a teacher to support you, 1:1 sessions are great for all levels.

I will see you on the mat ✌🏼🧘🏻‍♀️

🧘 YOGA 1:1s 🧘

1:1 sessions are a great way to start your Yoga practice, they are especially useful if you want to get a good grasp of the basics before going into a class or if you are unsure about your ability or movement capabilities.

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this.

On Thursday, we very suddenly had to say goodbye to our beloved dog Stewie.
After being diagnosed with a tumour on his liver on Tuesday, within 2 days, he went from his usual happy self to peacefully passing under a lot of pain relief. We were with him to the end, he was very calm and relaxed during his last moments.

We only had 11 months with him, but they were the best of our lives, and he will be missed more than we can explain.

I am posting this here because I am very fragile at the moment and it is incredibly hard to talk about it all. This way, I hope I can avoid talking about it in class over and over next week.

Thanks, Stewie, for being such a good boy and blessing us with an amazing year! ❤️

I talked a lot about planks, half planks and chaturangas the past couple of weeks. We move through planks all the time in class. It is a tough pose, especially in the beginning! 😮‍💨

It’s easy to get it “wrong” by lowering the hips too quickly or sticking up the bum, as both take some weight off the arms. 💪🏼

Knowing the correct position and what it is supposed to feel like can be difficult, so I always recommend just trying it at home and recording yourself. We all have phones with a camera, so it’s very simple. 📱

You can then watch back at what your plank/half plank/chaturanga looks like and start correcting it.

And if you aren’t sure whether or not you are doing it right, feel free to show me the videos before or after class, and I will help to guide you to the right place. 😊

🥰

Come join me and my online yogis tonight on zoom 💻

The first class is always free so no harm in giving it a go 🧘🏻‍♀️

I'll see you on the mat 💜

It’s so nice to be teaching again and to see all my lovely yogis in class 🥰

Tonight at 5 pm UK time is my first zoom class of the year which I am always teaching from home in my beautiful yoga room. Though it already has been requested, I don’t think Stewie will join us just yet. He is still too curious about everything and would probably keep running through the picture or try and lie down on my yoga mat. So for now, you will have to settle for just me 😄

If you fancy joining, simply drop me a message. Because the class is online, it doesn't matter where you are located. There are currently yogis from 3 different countries joining in. The first class is free, so no harm in giving it a go 😊

Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄

Sadly due to quarantine restrictions, I wasn’t able to visit my family over Christmas but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we ended up adopting an ex-racing greyhound on Boxing Day, which wouldn’t have happened if we had gone to Munich. His name is Stewie, he is 4,5 years old and he is settling in wonderfully. 🥰

I'm excited to go back to teaching tonight and this week we'll explore all the dog inspired postures (obviously). So get ready for lots of upward dogs, downward dogs, 3-legged dogs and puppy postures 😉

I'll see you on the mat! 🧘🏻‍♀️💜
