Advanced Yoga Therapy

YO31 0PF

This Yoga Therapy class is for those who have an established yoga practice and are generally fit but would like to apply yoga practices such as meditation, breath work and philosophy to help navigate life's challenges in a kinder and compassionate way. At the beginning of class there is a chance to discuss personal life concerns, which helps guide the practice. This fosters a supportive community where Kathy can teach in a client-centred way and other students can offer mutual support. With a minimum of five people per class, Kathy has the opportunity to individualize the practice for each student.

Beginners Yoga Therapy
Wednesday 10.45am-12.00pm
YO31 0PF

This Yoga Therapy class is for those who are experiencing changes in their body that come with age.  The class is designed to support the physical body to relax but also to gently enhance strength. This women’s only class starts the practice with the opportunity to discuss personal life concerns which helps guide the practice. By adopting this approach students learn from Kathy's educational approach of yoga but also learn from one another which builds a wonderful community that is kind and nurturing.  The practices are a mixture of yoga postures, yin yoga, breathing practices, meditation and how the ethical principles (Yamas and Niyamas) can be integrated into everyday life. 

Meditation
Wednesday 12.15pm-12.45pm
YO31 0PF

Kathy is embarking on an intensive 1.5-year teacher training program with Buddhist Monk Jitei to become an effective meditation teacher. This transformative journey goes far beyond mastering techniques—it is a path of deep self-discovery and the cultivation of intuition.

The course is deeply rooted in love: love for humanity and love for oneself. It encourages letting go of insecurities and self-doubt, fostering a sense of acceptance and inner peace. By delving deeply into her own practice, Kathy is learning to create a safe and nurturing space where students can open their hearts, connect with their true selves, and experience profound inner peace.

As part of her training, Kathy is seeking volunteers willing to dedicate 30 minutes of their time to be guided in a meditation practice and provide honest feedback. If you’re interested in supporting her journey, please email Kathy to get booked on.

Community Yoga Class
First Friday of each Month 6.45-9.00pm
Super Sustainable Centre, Derwenthorpe Energy Centre, Derwent Wy,  York YO31 0RW

This unique yoga class is all about bringing people together. This class has been created to help people manage stress and feelings of loneliness by having a welcoming space for connection, fun, and self-care. It’s not just about yoga poses—it’s about building relationships, sharing experiences, and leaving with a sense of belonging.

The class starts with a cup of tea, giving everyone a chance to settle in, relax, and to either chat with others or have time on your own. This simple ritual helps create a friendly atmosphere where conversation flows and connections are made. The yoga practice is designed to be light and gentle, making it accessible to all levels. Through mindful movement, stretching, releasing tension, students will feel more in tune with their body. Alongside the physical practice, there is breathwork and guided meditation. To deepen your personal journey, time is given to take part in journaling. Writing down your thoughts and feelings before or after the class provides a moment of self-reflection, helping you connect with your emotions and gain clarity.
