” The Beginners Course was everything I hoped it would be : gentle, supportive, and surprisingly fun! I loved learning the basics in a way that made sense for my body, and each week I felt a little more confident and connected. The mix of movement, breathing, and relaxation was perfect, and I always left feeling calm and uplifted. I can honestly say this course has been life-changing .

YOUR GUIDE, Sarah Farnsworth
Sarah was a stressed out, burnt out journalist when she discovered the mental and physical benefits of yoga. Having practiced yoga for more than a decade, Sarah took herself off to India to learn more about yoga, meditation and breath work. She is now determined to make yoga more accessible to everybody regardless of age or physical ability.
Sarah says: “ For me, yoga is a moving meditation, it’s less about standing on your head, and more about meeting your body where it’s at. Being kind to yourself and building strength and confidence.”
“Yoga is not an instagram pose, it’s a practice that is available to all body types and abilities, and if you open yourself up to it, it’s a practice that can transform your life.”
