Yin Yoga: A gentle yet profound practice, offers a sanctuary for both the body and mind. With its focus on longer-held, passive poses, it deeply nurtures the connective tissues, promoting physical flexibility and joint health. More than just a physical practice, Yin Yoga is a journey into emotional and mental resilience. Its meditative nature encourages introspection and mindfulness, allowing space for emotional release and mental clarity.

Isabelle Leach, Director/company owner

“Sue really is one of those life changing people to meet. Sue brings a wealth of expertise and skill

to any problem she encounters, and looks at everything as a whole, approaching the body with a fresh perspective every time.

I’m lucky enough to be part of Sue’s online Pilates and Yoga studio, as well as attending in person classes and retreats and adding 1:1 sessions when I need them.

I know not everyone can do it all but even one class a week makes a huge difference to my well-being.

Sue really teaches the class. Every class is different and takes into account each participant and the environment

I’ve met many women who said they wished they had met Sue when they were my age, and I now understand why.

I’ve been honoured to have been mentored and guided by Sue and would recommend her to anyone”
