I am a British Wheel of Yoga teacher. Having discovered that my well-being and ability to relax improved at a very busy time of my life through the restorative qualities of Yoga, I wanted to learn more. What I learned seemed too good to keep to myself so I trained as a Yoga teacher in order to share that knowledge. I have been teaching Yoga continuously in Leicestershire since 1993, becoming a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher in 1995, and regularly undertake further training. I am also a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals.
My classes, held in the mornings and evenings, are aimed at beginners and improvers. They are normally based in south east Leicestershire, in Kibworth and Oadby. In 2018, having taught Yoga for 25 years, I decided to alter my work-life balance and gave some of my classes to three lovely fellow Yoga tutors.
In response to the Covid pandemic all my classes are currently being taught online as live Zoom classes. Although I know many of you miss the face to face classes the Zoom classes do have their advantages:
Even if an area goes into lockdown the classes can continue.
There’s no need to wait in a socially distanced outdoor queue to get into your class.
You can still attend classes if you are self isolating at home.
You can also attend the classes if you are staying away from home (with an internet connection) – and several class members have already done so.
You can adjust the heating and lighting to suit your own preferences, whereas face to face classes require doors or windows to be kept open to increase ventilation (which could be quite chilly in the winter!).
And there’s still the opportunity to have a chat with your fellow class members at the end of each class if you want to.
So why not give it a go?
It is 9 or 10 years since I started Yoga and have found it very rewarding. It has been very good not only physically but also mentally. After an operation and a bad fall I think that although I have not been able to do some of the postures so well with Celia’s help and guidance I feel my body is improving. When I have been upset or have a disagreement, it is very beneficial to do the mountain pose or sit down quietly and relax and do some Yoga breathing. I shall continue for as long as I am able.

As a total novice at yoga I chanced upon Celia’s classes two years ago – and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found her. Her physical skill and knowledge of yoga is inspirational, and her approach is so kind and patient. Our class members are of mixed ability and Celia manages to advise us all effortlessly.
