INCLUSIVE YOGA FOR RADIANT HEALTH

Hi, I'm Brenda:)

Thank you for visiting my website. 

Following a back injury in my late 20s, and having run out of options with conventional treatment, I turned to Yoga as a last resort.

Little did I know that the accident was a blessing in disguise and would prove to be a turning point in my life.  Blown away by the improvement in my back, I eventually gave up my career as a solicitor in the City to qualify as a Yoga teacher in 2004, determined to share this transformative practice with as many people as possible.

This passion has continued to grow - I now teach full-time offering a variety of group and private classes, both in-person and online. I also run meditation classes, regular wellness retreats in the UK, Italy and Thailand and a variety of Yoga foundation courses (1, 2 and by distance learning) with the well-respected British Wheel of Yoga.

I am also running my first 500-hour L4 Diploma in Teaching Yoga in September 2024.

Through my teaching, I help to guide students back to radiant health and wellbeing, enabling them to navigate their life in a calmer, more joyful and balanced way.  

And, having experienced life with chronic pain, I believe that Yoga should be for every body, so my classes are very inclusive - whatever your age, level of ability or experience, you will always feel welcome. Through a combination of physical practices, breathwork, meditation, philosophy and deep relaxation, you will leave feeling nourished, recharged and energised.

I'd love for you to join me.

I'm also an Ayurvedic consultant and offer private consultations, advice and treatment by appointment at my beautiful home studio in Lancashire. I also run the Beginning Your Ayurveda Journey module with the BWY and sell a selection of products that I have curated to help you to integrate this powerful, healing practice into your daily life.  Please head to my online shop for these.

Finally, I update my website regularly so please visit to find out about upcoming events, book an online class, explore my retreats, browse my online shop or read one of my health and wellbeing blogs. 

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat at one of my classes, courses or retreats very soon.

Testimonial

"I found Brenda when I signed up for a yoga foundation course. I thought initially it would be a good idea to attend a class or two of hers while completing the course. As soon as I started to attend I realised I had found an extremely talented yoga teacher and I quickly signed up to her monthly classes.

What makes her different from other teachers is the variation of the classes, her unbelievable attention to detail for each pose (she seems to know exactly what part of the body you’ll be tensing before you do!), her knowledge and subsequent inclusion during classes of the philosophy of yoga, and her strong focus on pranayama. Brenda’s attention to detail and dedication to yoga also made the foundation course easy to navigate. She was an excellent teacher that went the extra mile to ensure you got the best out of the course.

For anyone thinking of taking the course, choose Brenda as your teacher. It will be a life changing experience. It goes without saying I will be carrying on with the classes for the foreseeable future and will be first in line when she’s qualifies to teach the teachers."

Why Yoga?

My love affair with Yoga began when I was 27 and living in London, my home city. I had badly injured my back and for the next two and a half years had tried to find a way to get it better . . . . . . .
