A little conversation with one of our lovely members, Lee, really stayed with me, so I thought I'd share it. ❤️
Lee is a mental health nurse. She spends her days supporting other people through some of the hardest times in their lives. She loves what she does and finds it incredibly rewarding but it's also emotionally demanding, draining and high stress.
What a bloody hero.
When Lee first came to the studio a few months ago she'd never done yoga before. In fact, she told me it had never really appealed because she "wasn't flexible." It took her sister dragging her along to a class... and now, for want of a better word, she's a convert!
We talked about why.
For Lee, class isn't about touching her toes or nailing a pose. It's about looking after herself. It's where she comes to recharge both emotionally and physically.
She said she leaves feeling calmer, lighter and more like herself again.
We also spoke about something I don't think people realise until they experience it. The room is warm, cosy and quite dark. There are no mirrors. We spend so much of the practice with our eyes closed or in a soft gaze that you stop thinking about what anyone else is doing. You realise they're not looking at you either.
Even though you're sharing the space with other people, it somehow becomes your own little bubble.
An hour where nobody needs anything from you.
We also talked about the biggest barrier so many of us have... finding the time.
When life is busy and stressful, fitting in a class can feel impossible. But once you experience how it makes you feel, something shifts. Instead of trying to squeeze it in, you start protecting that time because you know how much better you'll feel afterwards.
Lee told me that after a long, tough day at work she actually feels relief knowing she has yoga waiting for her that evening.
I loved that.
So if you've ever thought...�✨ "I'm not flexible enough."�✨ "Yoga probably isn't for me."�✨ "I'm a bit sceptical."�✨ "I'd be too nervous to come on my own."
Please don't let those thoughts stop you.
You genuinely don't know until you try.
And like it has been for Lee, it might just become one of the best things you do for yourself.
Our Hot Yoga Sculpt trial class is just £12. If you've got any questions at all, please just send me a message. I'd love to chat.
