Sunrise Flow

Kick start your week and those happy brain chemicals (aka serotonin!) with this early morning, short but sweet yoga practice that will focus on waking up the body and mind. We will create a moving meditation, ease out aches and pains, find rhythm for the breath and set positive intentions for the day ahead.

Good mood guaranteed for the rest of the day!

Candlelit Yin

Yin allows you to completely draw your awareness inwards and search deep down for understanding. On a physical level it deeply stretches the body’s connective tissue, particularly around the pelvic, hips and spine. We’ll add in some softly flowing poses to create a wonderfully relaxing, releasing class to help you ground and become present no matter what your week has thrown at you!

Good night’s sleep guaranteed!

Flow & Reflect

Harmonise your breath and movement to build strength, stamina and freedom in your body. Explore the deeper connections between poses while listening to your own beautiful rhythm. We’ll draw inspiration from Mother Nature herself and create a moving meditation with our bodies which will help keep the spine juicy and flexible and also get the heart moving. Ending with a guided meditation and pranayama to deeply ground and bring you into the present moment.

Saturday 09.30-10.45 – Suitable for those with some experience of yoga
Location – Highfield Park Visitor Centre/Heartwood Forest & Online

Gentle & Restorative

These classes will have a softer, gentler approach focusing on your breath, your anchor and fluid, safe movements allowing you to awaken the energy within rather than deplete it. It will target what you can do rather than what you can’t. You will have the time and space to listen to your body and work at your own pace.

Ideal for those returning to yoga after an injury, on days when the energy in the body is low or those wishing/needing to be gentle with the body.

Wild Awake

Nature can captivate our attention, ignite inspiration, and facilitate healing. We have an inherent desire to connect with Nature, yet our modern way of living can cut us off from the joy, calmness and beauty that she offers.
Our monthly ‘Wild Awake’ sessions provide an opportunity to connect deeply with nature through nature-based mindfulness meditation, conscious movement, breathwork and creative practices. We meet in all weathers so dressing for the weather is essential!

Nourish & Nidra

These evenings are all about turning your awareness inwards and settling into a slower pace of life. Even if the world outside feels a little crazy, we will create this container of peace and calm to help you to nourish the body and turn on your ‘rest and digest’ mode. It combines Yoga Nidra to promote deep rest and relaxation alongside Restorative and Yin Yoga poses which are designed to deeply stretch the bodies connective tissue and awaken the subtle energies to kick-start your bodies healing capacity. Good night’s sleep guaranteed!

Words from my clients

These are more than yoga classes! Louise has a gift at transferring a real sense of inner calm and peace. Her lessons are creative and extremely useful in understanding how to cope in challenging situations. I informed a friend quite simply attending online has been a game changer for me. I feel ready to conquer my day or week ahead. A priceless gift.

Liza Timpson

I am so glad I decided to join your online membership. I can’t tell you how beneficial I have found them. I love the variety of different classes and more than anything the spiritual side and mindfulness that you bring to the classes.

Sally Bond

I am learning so much about how the mind, body and spirit can work together to cultivate compassion, strength and resilience for ourselves and those around us. I always feel calm and uplifted after a class. Informative, insightful and inspiring - thank you Lou!

Liz Hobman

Louise is an excellent teacher who makes you feel at ease very quickly. She’s clear and friendly and keeps instructions simple. The yoga practices are accessible to all levels and abilities due to her giving variations on each pose. She combines good poses with helpful mindfulness teaching. I am 60 and my daughter is a full-time athlete of 25, yet we can both enjoy her classes together. I would recommend her unreservedly.

Virginia Bird

I like that the classes cover a specific topic each term, and I’ve found that having a subject to focus on really enhances my yoga practice, off the mat as well as on it! Lou brings some wonderful insights into each class, and you can tell she really teaches from the heart.

Amy Dodd

What I love best about your courses is that they not only give the benefit of a yoga practice but also deliver simple and practical ways to apply the weekly themes and help support mental wellbeing which is especially important at this time. Speaking as someone who struggled to make time for a single weekly practice, I am now getting to my yoga mat most days and it has become a ‘non-negotiable’ in my daily life and one which I make time for.

Finola McManus

I am so glad I decided to join your yoga classes. I can’t tell you how beneficial I have found them. I love the variety of different classes and more than anything the spiritual side and mindfulness that you bring to the classes.
