Mindful Movement with Nerine

22/08/2026

A new, small yoga group is forming in Hampsthwaite!

Do you ever feel anxious walking into a studio where everybody else has known each other for years and knows exactly what they're doing? Come be part of a new group where everyone is starting their journey of yoga at the same time and learning together. We begin on Thursday, 3rd September! 🍁

I maintain an inclusive, respectful space that focuses on community, not cliques. If you’re new to the area, it’s a great way to meet people and begin new friendships. LGBT+ friendly.

This slow yoga practice is a unique synthesis of Gentle Hatha, Restorative, and Therapeutic yoga for people in curvy, ageing, and inflexible bodies at midlife and beyond. A few props are provided, but please bring your own mat, blocks, and eye pillow.

Shhh.... it's a soft launch summer as I prepare for an Autumn return after my recent, unexpected battle with DRESS Syndrome. 😯

September introduces a second Thursday class in Hampsthwaite (11:00am to Noon AND 1:00 to 2:00pm).

Autumn bookings are also available for bespoke classes in my private garden studio, Sanctuary. Not only one-to-ones, but the new Yoga with Friends where friends can offer each other kindness and support, especially suited to complete beginners.

Summer's not over and neither is my sabbatical, but spaces book up fast so don't delay. 😉

Don't rush. Remember, this is still the season of healing and reflection.

Processes require time - to question, to absorb, to change, to gather momentum - so new beginnings have a stable, informed foundation to build upon. Let yourself be silent without explanation or apology.

Be cautious of those endlessly vying for your attention. How insightful can they be, how mentally and emotionally healthy, if they're always reaching outward without reaching inward?

Rest is not lazy...

The universe is unusually willing to meet you halfway – but only if you stop confusing drowning with swimming. The ♀ △ ♃ △ ♄ grand water trine flows so smoothly you may not notice you’re re-enacting your family trauma, just with higher production values.

Stop romanticising your wounds. Start treating your emotional capital as the sacred currency it is. The cosmos asks: what if you stopped drowning in your feelings and started building boats instead? Choices made in love and life now don’t just set a mood; they alter your entire trajectory.

You could very easily build yourself a beautiful prison at this point; a gilded little cage; a tastefully decorated panic room that promises safety from an imaginary tyrant at the gates. Over-commit to the wrong tribe, move to the wrong house or country, sign contracts out of suspicion, panic-buy, or damage control rather than genuine desire... do not mistake raw emotional insecurity for some delusory higher decree from on high.

The bonds you formalise now will either sustain you through the next decade or trap you in your own beautiful bu****it. Choose accordingly.

Remember: this grand water trine flows so seamlessly you may not notice you’re restaging your family trauma with better tech, softer lighting, and more state-of-the-art props.

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO!

If you’re looking for a gentle class that is body-positive and ageing-positive, where everyone is seen, heard, and empowered, with friendly colleagues and helpful props, come give my classes a try.

Yoga is a movement practice intended to be about character development, not competitive exercise or weight loss.

I maintain a space that is inclusive and respectful where everyone is celebrated exactly as they are.

I have created a unique synthesis of Gentle Hatha, Restorative, and Therapeutic Yoga for people in curvy, ageing, and inflexible bodies at mid-life and beyond. I make yoga not just accessible, but comfortable and illuminating based on over 20 years of experience and 1000+ hours of specialist training.

Light your candle, you have permission to pause and to breathe.
If not for yourself, do it for each other. ❤️

I love this time – the in-between time, the time after all the gatherings and lights, the time before we swing back into the regular routines of the new year. It is the crack between the worlds, the place where dreaming can unfold and then spiral into being quickly and quietly. It is a place where, if we want them to, solitude and silence can surround us and the soul-hungers we have abandoned can find us once again. It is a time to listen deeply, to stay with stillness open to the impulse to move from the deepest part of what we are.

Why begin the new year with an impersonal, quick fix that doesn’t last?

If you’re hoping to make meaningful changes in 2026 start as you mean to finish. Real self-care is born from purpose and tenacity.

I have created a unique synthesis of Gentle Hatha, Restorative, and Therapeutic Yoga specialising in curvy, ageing, and inflexible bodies at midlife and beyond. I make yoga not just accessible, but comfortable and illuminating based upon over 20 years of experience and 1000+ hours of training.

The best place to begin is with a block of one-to-ones at Sanctuary, my private garden studio in Wetherby, to build confidence and understand which variations are best for your unique needs. From there, join one of my group classes in Harrogate or Wetherby at Earth Tree where you can apply what you’ve learned and discover a respectful, friendly community.

But maybe my style isn’t suitable for you. Did you know “yoga” offers many styles and variations? If you’ve ever taken a yoga class and left feeling deflated or defeated, it wasn’t you, it was the wrong style! I’m happy to make recommendations in support of other local teachers to help guide you to the best class for you.

Buy local for a better 2026.

This is the season when our loved ones offer us so much, it's time we encourage them to fill their own cup this winter. Share the gift of rest, relinquishing, and renewal.

Help normalise the importance of their self-care, often at a time when they may feel depleted having looked after others for so long. Now is the time for them to nurture their own inner harmony and reconnect with themselves inspired by you.
