Mindful Movement with Nerine

25/11/2025

Would you or someone you know be interested in a Mindful Grieving workshop?

The afternoon will be an opportunity to share time in a cosy space with a small group of six who are on their own journey of grief and loss. The workshop will include:

• gentle, therapeutic yoga intended to create spaciousness in the body where grief may have settled causing tension or discomfort,

• a chance to journal thoughts or emotions that may arise,

• mindful meditation to cultivate body awareness at a time we often feel disconnected,

• a sharing circle for support, free from judgement,

• a grounding breath practice,

• and warming herbal teas and light snacks throughout.

Let this quiet harbour be a part of your journey towards healing.

(Women only, LGBT+ welcome.)

WINTER'S ROAD ~
"This is the season of endings, when things both around and within us may feel bleak and the world a harsh place. We have been taught that failure is shameful, taught to fear finality and the death of things, taught that grief is a worthless burden best kept silent. And yet the body speaks truth to us, when we care to listen...."

So excited to be offering a second class starting Sat, 17th January!

Curious about yoga but worried a group class will feel overwhelming? Self-conscious about your body changing with age? Learn the basics and build confidence in these ageing-positive classes while you make time for a pause to soothe your nervous system and calm your mind.

In this respectful, body-positive environment students are empowered to explore how to make the practice fit their individual needs using prop-supported variations.

Yoga is not about exercise or weight loss so you can expect a warm welcome exactly as you are. Class size limited to 8 for comfort and quality of instruction.

I've crafted a unique synthesis of Gentle Hatha, Restorative, and Therapeutic yoga for people in curvy, ageing, and inflexible bodies at mid-life and beyond based on over 20 years of practice and 1000 hrs of diverse training. I make yoga not just accessible, but comfortable and illuminating.

"The longing for things
that you could not have,
the yearning for places
you were not destined to arrive.
Wistful memories of what was
not ever meant to be.
Regret for not being who
you thought you would become.
These hallucinations of the soul
are agonizing prisoners
that must be pardoned
and released.
Clear the room.
Open the door
and let them leave.
And in this space,
you’ll paint
a glorious existence
of being here with presence
and contentment
for what truly is
a relevant
and meaningful
life."

A poem from Susan Frybort's book, Open Passages

INTRODUCING....

A new page dedicated solely to my private studio, SANCTUARY. 🌿

Sanctuary is where students, colleagues, the grieving, and exhausted alike step away from the world and let time stand still...

a cosy oasis for exclusive one-to-ones, bespoke sessions for chronic conditions, and Restorative Yoga treatments. ☺️☕

You'll find this new FB page and existing Instagram will follow quite a different aesthetic, leaning heavily on Nature and frank conversation with ourselves to light the path towards inner wisdom and healing. Make sure to follow one or both so you don't miss out! 🌿

It’s here! The season of thick duvets and mulled drinks.

Break out your fuzzy socks because our weekly yoga practice is about to get cosy!

Autumn is the season for introspection. It’s a time when we reflect upon the year and decide what to leave behind and what to carry forward to sustain us through the winter. The season is reflected in our practice with slower movement, longer holds, and deep breathwork to keep lungs healthy and calm the mind.

In Ayurveda, Autumn is known as Vata season – the season of the winds – which may leave us feeling uprooted, scattered, even irritable. Yet others find the bracing winds invigorating, liberating, which is why it’s important to honour your own unique needs in class. The practice on your mat is yours alone, so it doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing.

What will your harvest be? How will you nurture yourself, your community, this Autumn?

How can gentle yoga be advanced?

🌿Slowing down requires discernment
🌿Moving with the breath requires skill.
🌿Remaining mentally present requires discipline.
🌿Carrying the internal lessons from the mat out into our communities requires intentional empathy

Gentle yoga demands the best in us physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Working with me, you’ll find I’m rarely on my mat because you’re there to discover your practice, not to be my audience. I'm not the feature act; I'm a guardian of your self-care. Mindfulness is the focus, character development is the point, not acrobatics or weight loss.

Come discover an inclusive space where movement, mindfulness, and community find synchronicity.

Group classes resumed yesterday and my private studio for exclusive one-to-ones opens the 9th.

We're back!

When our bodies begin to change at midlife it may come as a bit of a shock! Aches and pains, wrinkles and stiff joints, curves appear in unexpected places. We might seek external advice and are often met with rhetoric about anti-ageing and weight loss, usually by someone trying to shame us into buying an expensive product. Why wouldn’t we become self-conscious about how we look when our body doesn’t represent the youthful ideal?

What if there was a movement space that normalised these changes, worked in harmony with them rather than fabricating guilt or embarrassment? You’re still you, just in a body that is transforming.

Based on over 20 years experience, I specialise in gentle yoga for those in curvy, ageing, and inflexible bodies at midlife and beyond making it not just accessible, but comfortable and illuminating.

As a teacher at midlife myself, I manage my own osteoarthritis and osteopenia, adapting as it varies throughout the seasons. Students witness firsthand how I myself honour my own changing needs with gentle movement and props. But my classes aren’t about you imitating me; they’re about you discovering your own variations of movement and breathwork creating an environment that normalises and celebrates our individuality.

If you’d like to learn more, have a look at my website which is currently being updated. Classes are available in Harrogate, Wetherby, and Hampsthwaite. Discounts are available for block bookings.


Do you need some one-to-one sessions to boost your confidence before joining a group class? Or maybe you struggle with chronic conditions that require bespoke advice. My new Wetherby studio, SANCTUARY, is opening in September for exclusive one-to-ones welcoming complete beginners, improvers, and other wellness professionals too!

Let’s change your internal narrative. The second half of life is ripe with possibilities that only come from a lifetime of experience.
