Mindful yoga for wellbeing is now available as a six-session recorded course for home practice, with each session lasting between 1 hour 15 and 1 hour 30 minutes.

Mindful yoga for wellbeing

This six-session course is a gentle, breath-led Hatha practice designed to build awareness, trust, balance, mobility and strength over time. It follows a journey through nature-based themes:

• Grounding earth
• Flowing water 
• Driving fire 
• Caring air 
• Being space 
• Integration

The course moves gradually from stability and support, through strength and steadiness, into openness and reflection.

Each session begins with a guided relaxation, followed by a gentle warm-up and adapted, slow Sun Salutation sequences to prepare the body. You then move into a steady Hatha practice, with sessions closing with calming moon salutations, a simple breathing practice, and a final relaxation.

The pace is steady, with an emphasis on moving with the breath rather than pushing or rushing.

Suitable for a range of abilities, the course supports you to feel more connected, resilient and at ease in everyday life.

It was filmed at Studio 366 in West Molesey, Surrey, where I teach small classes on Sunday mornings.

How to access the course

The course is available on a pay-what-you-can basis to support accessibility, either via my booking page or through Payhip.

You’ll receive a simple PDF with clickable links to the private YouTube links for each session.You can return to the sessions as often as you like.

If ordered via Payhip, you’ll receive the course automatically. If ordered through my booking system, I will send it to you as soon as I can.

The course may suit you if you would like to:

• Practise mat-based yoga

If you would prefer to minimise weight-bearing through the wrists or knees, I also offer in-person Yoga4Health courses. These begin and end in a chair, with the option to move to a mat for the main movement, which includes standing and lying work. Yoga4Health sessions are also available online through the charity Yoga in Healthcare Alliance

A note for those with osteoporosis

The course takes an osteoporosis-aware approach, with options offered. When I say “If you’d like to go deeper,” it’s best to stay with the initial version of the pose if you have osteoporosis.
