Big Heart Yoga

I am incredibly honoured to welcome my teacher, Stewart Gilchrist to Big Heart Yoga in October for a full-day 10-Hour Assists & Adjustments Training.

Stewart has been my teacher for many years, and learning from him has been one of the most transformative parts of my teaching journey. His teaching is powerful, direct, deeply rooted in tradition, and always delivered with honesty, humour, and heart.

To be able to bring this training to Big Heart Yoga, here in Telford, feels incredibly special.

This training is ideal for yoga teachers, trainee teachers, and dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of hands-on assists, adjustments, teaching methodology, and the responsibility that comes with physically supporting students in practice.

Saturday October 31st | 10am | £200

Plus, save £20 when you book before August 31st, with the code EARLYBIRDSTEW - i’d love for you to join us ♥️

Tonight I had the pleasure of covering another class over at Love Fitness - thank you to everyone that came and moved with me 🙏🏼

Tomorrow morning I am back at Sattvic Studio - yoga + wellbeing studio in Shropshire for Friday Feel Good Flow. It’s fully booked (amazing!), but you can book on for next week and join us - we always have a blast ♥️

Sunshine. Camping. Very little sleep… and I’d do it all again tomorrow!

Another World Yoga Festival in the books, and once again I left with a full heart and a full notebook.

For me, last weekend is about satsang - the company of people who remind you what matters. Friends, teachers and a community brought together by a shared love of yoga, philosophy, music and self-inquiry.

Early morning Ashtanga practice every day with Kamal, followed by daily Advaita Vedanta lectures with Swami Sarvapriyananda that left me with so much to contemplate.

Dr Jeffrey Long’s brilliant talk on the influence of Vedanta on Star Wars. Inspiring, it was.

A fascinating discussion on AI vs consciousness, with Sadhviji and Swami Sarvapriyananda, thoughtfully moderated by my teacher, Stewji.

Yogasana (and beyond) with Stewji, always a reminder that yoga extends far beyond the physical practice.

Getting to see a screening of ‘True World of Mantra’, introduced by its creator, Manish Vyas, was a real privilege.

And ending each day immersed in kirtan with Manish Vyas, Jagannatha Das and, of course, the ever-joyful Radhika Das.

These weekends always remind me that yoga isn’t just something we practise, but something we live. Through movement, philosophy, music, conversation and community.

I’m already looking forward to doing it all again next year. Who’s coming?

I had a lovely tome covering a class at Love Fitness tonight - playing around with parsva bakasana and learning to trust ourselves to try hard things 🙏🏼

I’m back there covering again on Sunday at 10am - see you there?

A few Big Heart updates ♥️

Hi everyone! Just a few little updates to keep you in the loop…

✨ Saturday mornings
As many of you know, Jenna has now moved away from Telford. We’re so grateful for everything she’s brought to our community and wish her all the very best in her new adventure.

From now on, our Saturday morning class will be led by Amy and will start at the new time of 8am. We can’t wait for you to join her!

🌙 Monthly Yin Yoga
Our monthly Yin class will now be taught by Jenny and is moving to the second Friday of each month at 7pm. Jenny brings such a lovely calming energy, and I’m excited for you all to experience her classes.

📅 New website feature
You can now filter the timetable by teacher when booking on the website, making it much easier to find the classes you love and see who’s teaching each week.

🚀 Rocket Beats
There are still spaces available for Rocket Beats with Adam Redmore on the afternoon of 26th July. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, now’s the perfect time to book!

As always, thank you for being part of this wonderful community. See you on the mat soon. 🙏💛
