Annabel Yoga

Annabel is really brilliant. I've been attending the classes she runs at my company and as a yoga novice was made to feel immediately at home. She's very tuned in to what people need from sessions and listens and observes very carefully, making her an excellent teacher. We really do manage to tune everything else out during the sessions and we get a very good work-out too, despite not being in a gym - you certainly feel and see the results in terms of greater physical flexibility and mental well-being afterwards. She also radiates calm and balance through her speaking tone and demonstrations, making the sessions both fun and uplifting. Highly recommended.

I started yoga with Annabel about 7 or 8 years ago. I can’t remember a time now without yoga in my life and I can’t live without it.
My husband was ill with incurable cancer from 2007 and I was living this temporary life, not knowing how long it would last for my three (then small) children and I. I had been suffering with anxiety and stress and was worried constantly.
Once a week Annabel dragged me to the present time.
By moving my body and focussing on me, and my mind for an hour and a half each week, I felt like I had a weekly reset button.
Each week I could come and talk with friends and test my body’s capabilities and keep fit but also reset a mind and thoughts that had a nasty habit of racing in to my future and trying to predict my life.
Annabel’s classes incorporate mindfulness as well as yoga. They still the mind. We explored the sensations that crop up sometimes in various remote parts of our bodies. We noticed things because we were present. She showed me how to practice safely and corrected us if needed so that we could maximise the benefits of the yoga practice
At the end of each class Annabel took us through a relaxation routine, some of us snored through this occasionally! She sang to us beautifully.
I miss Annabel’s yoga classes, I have moved away now but they kept me sane and calmer without doubt through my husbands long illness and subsequent death. I have no doubt that Yoga helped me be strong for my family in every possible way and I will now always practice. I have remarried and close to our new home I have a new teacher. It took some searching, but Annabel is my benchmark for perfection. Thank you. Xx

Yoga for ALL ages. Tailored, with plenty of options for all abilities, leaves both body & mind feeling wonderful, & at peace. Highly recommended!

Annabel is a really fantastic yoga teacher and is very attentive to her students needs. She adapts the yoga poses where needed if you have any injuries or issues. Her yoga classes are set at a good pace and she always asks what people would like to focus on at the beginning. She offers courses in person in a hall, outside in the park and on zoom so hopefully there is something to suit everyone. Would definitely recommend.

I'm not a yoga person really, but Annabel brings a quiet confidence and more than a simple acceptance of people of all levels. She gives time and attention to each individual, providing alternatives where necessary and adjusting to various needs and abilities seamlessly and without fanfare. Her classes are always welcoming and educational. Definitely one to recommend.

I have previously struggled to get into yoga and started doing Annabel's classes during lockdown. Against all my expectations, I got somewhat addicted and am now doing 3 of her classes each week! I think she is great. Her teaching style is excellent, very engaging and caring, and she manages to accommodate mixed abilities and different requirements without issue. She also has a very nice way of saying you are doing something wrong, so beginners have nothing to fear! For me personally, the benefits of Annabel's classes have been numerous but include better flexibility and greater calm. I really enjoy Annabel's classes and would highly recommend her.

Annabel runs a great class that is easy to understand. She is knowledgeable and very patient. You do feel like you have had a good workout when you have finished
