Two Ways to Build Strength, Ease and Resilience

Evidence-informed strength training and yoga to support joint health, nervous-system regulation, and healthy ageing in women.

.

I offer two distinct types of classes, each supporting strength, mobility and resilience in different ways.

You can choose Scaravelli-inspired yoga to support ease, awareness and nervous-system regulation, or strength-focused training to build muscle mass, stability and confidence - or combine both for a well-rounded practice.

Live + Online Yoga Classes

Breath-led movement for ease, awareness and nervous-system regulation

These yoga classes are inspired by the work of Vanda Scaravelli and emphasise listening, adaptability and the intelligent use of breath and gravity.

Rather than fixed shapes or performance, we explore how movement can create space, softness and support in the body – helping regulate the nervous system and reduce unnecessary tension.

What people experience:

• A calmer, more responsive nervous system
• Improved joint mobility and spinal ease
• Less pain and holding, more freedom of movement
• A practice that adapts to how you feel on the day

 

These classes may include elements of strength, but their primary focus is awareness, coordination, breath and regulation, not muscle-building.

Online Strength Classes

Build muscle, stability and confidence - safely and progressively

Weekly strength training classes, using progressive resistance and load to build muscle mass, improve bone density and support long-term joint health.

.

Strength training benefits include:

• Maintain muscle mass and bone density
• Improved cardiovascular health
• Joint support
• Maintain flexibility and balance
• Help improve strength and stamina
• Improved sleep and avoidance of insomnia
• Get up and down from the floor safely and with ease
• Balance the effects of fluctuating hormones during menopause / andropause
• Maintain your strength, stability and resilience for the long term

.

These are strength-focused sessions designed to support muscle, bone and long-term physical resilience.

Minehead Yoga Classes

Accessible yoga for everyone

I teach yoga which offers a fresh and truly accessible approach to yoga.  Each class follows a theme which evolves from my personal research and explorations, building and developing from the material we covered in the previous week.

Although I’d love to see you regularly and there are definite benefits from consistent attendance, I always take time to carefully explain the focus and what we’re doing in each movement, so you'll always understand what and why we are practicing.

Classes generally follow a similar structure – we begin lying on the floor, to breathe and settle, before gradually building into stronger or more challenging practices and then dropping back down into Savasana to rest at the end.

Testimonials

Inji

Thank you so much for the online yoga class this evening, it was great to be able to join your class again. It was just what I needed in these challenging times.

From my home, on my mat, it felt personal and I felt connected to the class.  Looking forward to joining your online class next week.

Mick

This was my first attempt at online Yoga and I booked it with some trepidation. But it was great, and Catherine was excellent. Her online cues were excellent and there was still a sense of connection. There was a sense of being with her and that really surprised me.

I will be booking another online yoga class soon.

Seona

Yoga is for everyone.

When online, it is up to each individual to assess whether they are ready for the class that they have chosen to attend. If you suffer from specific injuries or disease please consult with your physician first. You must let me know  of any injuries or medical conditions before class begins.

If you are pregnant, follow the recommended practice only.

The practice of yoga asanas requires you – the practitioner – to gauge the safety of your practice within your personal physical limitations. It is better to build up slowly than to force and strain.

Please take responsibility for yourself and your current abilities during your practice. Remember that each day is different, and even if yesterday you were able to perform a movement, that is no indicator that the same exercise is possible today. Please move within your comfortable limits and if you’re in any doubt whatsoever, please seek medical advice.
