Relaxation practices that I can draw on for years to come

Really enjoy the combination of Pilates and yoga

Leaves me feeling refreshed, relaxed and happier
"My online yoga and Pilates class with Grainne is one of the highlights of my week. It leaves me feeling refreshed, relaxed and happier. And because it is a live class I actually feel as though I’ve been out with other people, which is a real bonus in these constricted times."

Very calming and relaxing and I look forward to the class every week
"I have attended Gráinne’s Yoga and Pilates classes for over two years now and was keen to continue when they went online. From the very first class I have enjoyed Gráinne’s enthusiasm, patience and love of yoga. Everyone is made to feel welcome and comfortable - it is very calming and relaxing, and I look forward to the class every week."
TESSA - MAPPERLEY PARK
Wanted a class that would support my recovery
"I’ve been having one-to-one Pilates classes with Grainne for over a year now. I wanted to take a class that would support my recovery from extensive cancer surgery and treatment. I looked for an instructor who would be able to tailor the class to my needs. Grainne does just that: she is sensitive, thoughtful in her approach and makes the sessions very enjoyable. I feel enormous benefit from working with her."

I feel taller and calmer when I come out, ready to take on the world!
"I'm notoriously bad at sticking to routines and usually give up classes after a few weeks. It's a different story with Grainne's yoga and Pilates class though - I've been attending for a year now and have no intention of stopping. Grainne is such a gentle, patient teacher, she makes everybody feel included, and able - she always offers modifications to a pose if you find it's too hard for you. Both my mind and body value that peaceful hour in my week immensely. I feel taller and calmer when I come out, ready to take on the world!"

Stretch my body and relax my mind

The exercises really stretch my muscles
"Grainne has a very calming, soothing voice. She gives clear instructions and I feel the exercises really stretch my muscles, and made me feel like I had done a very good workout. I felt relaxed and 'chilled' afterwards."
PAULA N
My body just wanted to chill all day
"I attended the yoga and creative writing workshop in January 2016. What a great combination. Gráinne's clear, soothing yoga instructions and Sam's inspiring creative writing techniques. My mind was overflowing with ideas while my body just wanted to chill all day. I would definitely go to another class."
CATHRYN R - NOTTINGHAM
I feel stronger and more supple
"I've been going to Grainne's Yoga and Pilates classes for 10 weeks and it has done me so much good already; amongst other things I feel stronger and more supple. I really enjoy both the sessions. I've also had some one-to-one Pilates sessions (including a postural assessment) with her and that has been invaluable - they have really helped me grasp the essence of it as I have never done Pilates before. Grainne makes you feel good about your own personal practice and more in touch with your emotional and spiritual self."
JL - YOGA WITH PILATES
Yoga and creative writing - "highly recommended"
"I attended a creative writing and yoga workshop on Saturday 23 January 2016. It was a most enjoyable morning. I particularly enjoyed the yoga practice with Grainne which I found most relaxing and therapeutic, particularly the lengthy relaxation part at the end (Yoga Nidra). I had the best night's sleep I had had in ages that night. Highly recommended"
JC - NOTTINGHAM
Excellent teacher
“I look forward to Gráinne’s yoga and Pilates classes every week. Being a yoga teacher myself, I find it very therapeutic to give myself time and space to focus on my own development. Gráinne is an excellent teacher and provides this opportunity. I particularly value her Pilates classes…. She explains the movements clearly, encouraging us to work slowly and correctly, responding to us as individuals. Her classes have been really beneficial in building up my core strength and stamina, and improving my postural alignment.”
ERICA T – YOGA AND ART TEACHER
Greatly improved the quality of my sleep and are deeply relaxing

Midweek fix of gentle exercise, stretching and relaxation
