Yoga, Pilates and Yogalates classes
Explore Yoga
All bodies and abilities are welcome in my yoga classes, beginners are very welcome! I will guide you to explore a variety of yoga styles and practices, to work, rest and reset your body and mind, with explanations along the way, so you won't be left wondering; why am I doing this? We’re a friendly bunch and we don’t take ourselves too seriously!
Classes are often themed, with a specific focus, such as the season, mindfulness, the Chakras and the physical body. We explore how yoga can support our all-round mental and physical wellbeing, through relaxation, movement, breathing techniques, held postures, guided meditations and soundscapes.
You do not need a yoga mat! Just bring yourself in comfy clothes. You do not need to be flexible and you do not have to wear leggings!
The main intention of my classes are to help you explore a wide variety of yoga styles and techniques; to learn what it is and why it's so good for us, along with tips and takeaways for other methods to make healthy choices to support wellness too.

As the previous event was such a great success, Kate will offer another opportunity to experience this mini retreat. Within the beautiful and relaxed setting of the Hands On Retreat at Pridhamsleigh, between Ashburton & Buckfastleigh, Kate will guide you through a day that will leave you feeling replenished and nurtured.
All abilities are catered for so no previous experience of yoga is necessary. You do not need to be bendy, you do not need to wear leggings and you do not need any of your own equipment.
