” 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 . I’ve now joined regular classes and yoga has become one of my favourite parts of the week.” Jan, 58, Blackburn

YOUR GUIDE, Geri Griffiths
Before yoga and meditation found me (or maybe before I finally let them in), I was 10 years deep in the legal industry: chronically sleep-deprived, anxious, and running on fumes.
From the outside, it looked like I had it together. On the inside? I was burnt out, dysregulated, disconnected from my body, and hanging by a thread.
I tried everything.
Productivity hacks, wellness apps, even lavender oil in my pillowcase (yep). But nothing stuck.
Until I slowed down enough to try what I’d always brushed off as “not for me.”
Yoga and meditation changed everything.
And not because I became a green smoothie person (I didn’t). But because they gave me back my breath. My sleep. My nervous system. My self.
I wasn’t always the calm one in the room. In fact? I used to be the exact opposite.
So I made it my mission: to make yoga inclusive and accessible for all. Not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and logistically.
These days, I especially love guiding beginners. There is something really special about meeting people at the very start of their yoga journey, when everything is still new and honest, and helping them build a practice that feels safe, simple, and genuinely supportive rather than overwhelming.
The beginner course is where that intention really comes to life.
