How is this different to other yoga classes?

My program is designed to take you gently and slowly into the deeper layers of the mind. Each week building on your understanding of the workings of the mind and the tools and techniques that you can use on and off your mat. The difference to regular yoga classes is that we focus on one particular emotion or area of the mind, as well as a physical focus in the body each week. You get to explore this theme for a whole week on and off the mat, building your awareness and focus.

Here’s a breakdown of each week:

Week 1 – Introducing the self-transforming brain

Week 2 – Flexing your happiness muscle

Week 3 – Letting go of worry, inviting in freedom

Week 4 – Attitude of gratitude to change your perception

Week 5 – Understanding your inner critic

Week 6 – Planting seeds of love

Week 7 – Getting clear on your values, principles and purpose

Week 8 – Goodbye comparison, hello compassion

Week 9 – Resting in your True Nature

Which class should I choose?

There are 5 different styles to choose from and how you choose will depend on whether you have practiced yoga before or not and what you would like to gain from your practice. If you are new to yoga or haven’t practiced in a while, I would suggest starting with the Sunrise Yoga, Monday evening Flow & Reflect, Gentle & Restorative and Yin Yoga.

If you are familiar with vinyasas then you’ll love the Flow & Reflect classes on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings and if you’re looking for more stillness, deep physical stretches and meditation techniques then Yin Yoga will be for you.

The beauty of a membership is that you can try them all and find your favourites!

Do I have to complete the program?

No, you don’t have to complete the program. You will obviously benefit far more by completing the 9 weeks as it will build each week on the techniques and tools we can use to rewire the brain. You can also cancel your membership at any time.

What happens if I miss a class?

No problem if you miss a class as they will be added to the members area where you can practice them at any time.

Will all the classes be online?

It is so hard to tell when we might be able to move back into the forest or the hall so for the time being yes, I think the majority of the classes will be online. When we can safely return to in-person classes I intend to keep some of the classes online.

Have you got some testimonials about your online classes?

Our online classes started shortly after lockdown and I’ve been both amazed and honoured to see so many students join me. You can read a range of testimonials on my Facebook page HERE (click ‘Most Recent’ so you read the latest ones) but here’s a couple that really stand out for me:

‘The online classes are one of the positives I will remember from this time! They help me find a state of calm, better sleep, reduce anxiety and give me energy. I’ve gone from one practice a week to a daily practice and it’s something I will continue.

The monthly subscription is great value and I recommend Lou highly- always welcoming and every class is easily adapted to suit what you can achieve and what your body needs. There’s no pressure, no judgement- just kindness, peace and support.’

~ Finola McManus

‘I have been attending Louise’s classes for a few years now and they are an important (essential) part of the rhythm of my week. During this lockdown period, the online classes are a nourishing pause, a place of familiarity and a reassurance that all is well and will be well. I leave the classes feeling re-connected and at peace.’

~Alex McIntyre

What do I need to begin?

You will need a yoga mat and comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in, PJ’s work well for this! For some of the classes you will need some props, but we have been experimenting with household pillows, cushions and blankets in place of traditional yoga props. I will let you know at the beginning of class what you need.
