Why Practice Yoga?
Yoga has immediate and long-lasting effects, both obvious and subtle, and on both physical and mental health.
It is a fantastic way of future-proofing your body to cope better with the challenges of ageing, to bring balance to constantly over-stimulated nervous systems, and to prime your joints and muscles to enhance a sport.
I couldn’t live my active life without my yoga practise, and I was NOT sold on yoga when I first started as a marathon runner turned ME/CFS sufferer, but now I won’t shut up about it’s genuinely incredible benefits! Benefits such as…….
Flexibility with Improved Strength & Stablity
Functional Diaphragmatic Breathing
Settles Overstimulation & Stress, promoting Restorative Sleep
Maintain Body Density & Joint-Health

Specialist & Private Yoga Tuition
Yoga For Athletes
As a specialist in yoga for sport and athletes, I am passionate about yoga complementing a rigorous routine.
An ex-marathon runner, Hell Runner, Pole Dancer, Swimmer & 5k jogger, I know the complementary benefits personally, and now, professionally.
Yoga isn’t only for supporting injury rehabilitation.
Yoga for sports people and athletes focuses on enhancing stability, flexibility and range of motion. Functional stretches and specialist modifications support over-used muscles and lesser-accessed ones. Breathwork and relaxation techniques help active individuals reduce tension and improve restful, restoriative sleep. All of this leads to a stronger, more stable overall performance.
Please contact me for a trial session

Yoga Client Feedback
“Having been tempted to try Yoga for a long time, but unsure of the access for an old, un-stretchy man, it was so refreshing and welcoming to have an all-male beginners class where we could all discover the benefits of yoga on our weary bodies!
Moving into my second term of Kate’s classes, I fully feel the benefits across the board; I feel stronger, more flexible, more in control of my body in other exercise etc.
Kate is the perfect guide through this. We’re lucky to have her on the doorstep, and if I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
