Welcome to Oakwood Yoga

Namaste and wishing you are very warm welcome to these pages. I really hope you find something of interest, do have a good browse, if you need any help, please get in touch.

My website is undergoing some changes…it has taken me a long time to get round to doing this! Massive thanks to Sarah of Banks Business Solutions for doing all the hard work behind the scenes…as I don’t have a clue. But I hope it is even more user friendly and helpful.

May is all about the joy of Spring and how we can harness its energy. It is so lovely to wake up to sunshine and warmth…even the soil is warmer now! I was a little too eager with my planting so have had to reset so many veg seeds. And I have only recently got a rhubarb crown in…if anyone has any spare rhubard I would love some. We all love a crumble here but I would love to make some rhubarb and ginger jam – childhood favourite!

My classes are very flexible in terms of helping you adapt and adjust if need be…I really like them being inclusive and fun! So taking the joy of Spring into class I really hope this month will be uplifting. We are going to look at the 5 Tibetan Rites again…not done those for ages. See you on the mat soon.

Holiday in Nepal 2024…I have two trips planned for Nepal this autumn, if you are interested let me know so I canl send all the details.

Trek 1 is to Langtang and Helumbu – two weeks, arriving in Kathmandu 19th October.

Trek 2 is Makalu Base Camp – three weeks, arriving in Kathmandu 1st November. Or do both! I will be doing the second trek as we did the Langtang one in 2019…it is amazing.

If you have never been to one of my classes before, please complete the Oakwood Yoga Health Form and EMAIL it to me prior to joining a class. When I receive it I will send you the payment methods…please pay prior to class. If you are a new student we also need to arrange a 15 min call.

Nepal Update

Not exactly the tree you would see in Nepal but I love coastal redwoods as much as I love Nepal. One day I will get to see the real big ones…hopefully.
I will be bringing an update soon…as I am off to the village. So excited to be seeing everyone again!

Huge thanks for your continued support. It makes such a massive difference.

Classes

Teaching yoga is a huge priviledge, and I strongly believe in the benefits to our overall well being. What I love as well is that yoga does not discriminate. No matter what level your experience, how well or poorly you are, yoga is available to us all.

I offer group classes and 121 sessions.

Resources

This section is all about sharing things we do in class or on retreat or through our masterclass work. There will be recordings from time to time as well. Feel free to share…just let people know where it came from!
