"So let me say hello and tell you a little about me. Having been into sport (swimming, running & triathlon in particular) all my life, I decided to start turning an interest into a career in 2010. I have taught exercise in various forms around West Oxfordshire as my full time career for 10 years, gaining qualifications, teaching experience, and having lots of laughs. I’ve participated in Yoga for 25 years, but once I completed my Yoga Teacher training, I just knew that this was where it would be at for me. In my world of crazy teens & hubby working away from home, sharing my love for Pump, Yoga & Pilates is a MUST to keep me mentally and physically sane. I’ve had a great experience taking my classes online during the COVID-19 lockdown and it has been a blessing to be able to start COVID risk-managed face to face classes again more recently though. Physical Goal: Half Ironman

Teaching Passion: Yoga – I love it so much because it can be so many different things – slow, fast, sweaty, calm, strong, stretchy, mindful….. Everyone needs some yoga in their life – and just to dispel a myth – you do NOT need to be flexible to do Yoga! Favourite Ways to Keep Fit: Yoga (obviously), Pump, walking & 5-10km runs (well, jogging really). I use guided meditation from the Calm app to keep my brain fit too. Top Nutrition Tip: Keep a track of your carbohydrate intake! The NHS recommends around 260g of carbs/day. If you’re trying to lose weight, or are peri-menopausal, I’d recommend below 120g/day, with your biggest carb source being vegetables, then fruit, then starchy carbs (brown/wild rice, quinoa, baked potatoes, oats)."

This term's Peak Pose in yoga is the Flying Splits (Pada Koundinyasana in Sanskrit)...

It might look like a magical illusion at first glance, but it's really a clever blend of geometry, balance, and whole-body engagement.

I explain why it’s worth facing the challenge this term in the latest blog 👇

Grace is one of our yoga class members. She says she comes because Ellie makes her!

But really, Grace told me she likes it for mindfulness practise, and a good stretch after a long day.

Grace works with children, as does Ellie and finds that regular yoga practise helps her maintain mobility and strength so she can manage her job more easily.

Do you do a job where yoga would help? I'm willing to bet you do...

By the end of the Pilates term, everyone's giving it their all and adding progressions to their moves, like these 'b***y' bands.

Get in at the start of term from Wednesday 16th to avoid this torture 😂
