classes

whether you’re looking to build strength and flexibility, slow down and settle, or take your first steps into yoga, there’s a class for you. my classes are rooted in traditional yoga and create space to move, breathe, find presence and leave feeling a little calmer than when you arrived.

Each class has one reduced-rate space available for anyone who may need it - no questions asked. Yoga should be accessible to everyone, and cost shouldn’t stand in the way of practising.

gentle flow

a slower, more intentional yoga class centred around moving with the breath, longer-held poses and deeper stretches. We’ll move steadily through the practice, with time to explore each pose without rushing, before finishing with stillness. This is a great class for beginners, as well as those with an existing practice who enjoy a slower pace and more time in each pose. A chance to slow down, breathe and let the nervous system settle.

When: Every Tuesday | 5:30pm - 6:30pm

Where: Great Oldbury Community Centre, Stonehouse

flow to slow

a flowing Vinyasa class that moves between dynamic sequences, heat and slower-paced movement. We’ll build through flowing sequences before gradually slowing things down into longer-held poses and stillness, finishing in a calmer place than we began. A class that gives you the chance to move, build some heat and then slow things down, with the shift in pace helping you step away from the noise of the day.

When: Every Wednesday | 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Where: Warrior & Wild, Nailsworth

    "Lydia is the perfect instructor for beginners as well as more advanced students. Her guidance, practical demonstrations, and equipment recommendations mean that even those new to yoga can find ways to access and develop their poses. She also has a wonderfully discreet way of supporting students in the room: whenever a pose feels uncomfortable, she offers gentle adjustments or suggestions so you can move into the pose with ease and confidence. Lydia has a natural cadence to her voice that helps her students find peace and calm through breathwork and movement. I always come away with a sense of peace, which is something I often find difficult to achieve on my own."

    "The Yin and Vinyasa classes Lydia runs have been such a pleasure to attend! She is a wonderful teacher - her kind and welcoming nature creates a calming and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable. Over the weeks, I’ve noticed greater flexibility and more strength in my weak spots. The two classes are the perfect blend of relaxation and growth. I always leave feeling refreshed and grounded, and I’d recommend Lydia’s classes to anyone looking to improve their practice and overall wellbeing. They’ve truly become one of the best parts of my week."

She’s been super at helping me get to grips with the basics, as well as pushing myself further in each class. Both Yin and Vinyasa have been really enjoyable and I look forward to each and every class."

    "Lydia is a very knowledgeable and supportive yoga teacher, and her classes have a lovely relaxed tone which means I feel completely at ease as a yoga newbie. She always gives options for each movement which makes it really accessible for all abilities. With Lydia’s excellent teaching and guidance I look forward to seeing where my yoga journey will take me!"

    "I have attended several of Lydia’s yoga classes, she taught both yin and vinyasa. Her presence was calming and warm, she made me feel at ease. Lydia catered to a range of ability levels, there was a low floor and a high ceiling in terms of difficulty. I am an ex-gymnast and I am quite flexible. Her classes challenged me, despite the fact that I have a good range of motion. She consistently gave instructions which made yoga poses both easier and more difficult. Lydia provided helpful cues to ensure that we were all getting the most out of different poses and movements. I particularly liked how she got us to focus on our breathing and identify areas of tension to relax us."
