Hello, I'm Lesley Muir and a Yoga Therapist and Teacher specialising in offering inclusive and accessible yoga practices that emphasise the full health and wellbeing benefits of yoga. I offer a wide range of small group yoga classes and individual yoga instruction or yoga therapy. Every class is different and always designed to be beneficial and enjoyable for the students attending. 

I love yoga and I want to inspire others to love it too and feel the many benefits. Practicing yoga has made me mentally resilient and physically stronger. It has taught me to listen to my body and lead a balanced lifestyle. It got me through the Covid lockdowns, it has helped me recover from many physical injuries including a severed Achilles Tendon and multiple foot surgeries. It also helps me to manage chronic Raynaud's Syndrome and scleroderma without having to take any medication.

My regular yoga practice means I sleep soundly and have a positive outlook on life. Yoga has taught me acceptance, compassion and contentment, things I think everyone can relate to today.

Through my yoga therapy training I have helped students to relieve symptoms of chronic asthma, chronic hip pain and knee injury, chronic lower back pain and spinal anomalies, like scoliosis and spondylolisthesis.

​

I have supported students who have experienced trauma, sleep problems and insomnia, anxiety, depression and chronic stress. I have experience of ADHD, eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia and the more the widespread practice of disordered eating.

Many of my students have found relief from menopause and peri-menopausal issues through yoga practices.

I have worked with students recovering from breast cancer surgery and post treatment rehabilitation, helping them to regain their sense of self, manage fatigue and move on to a new phase of life.

​

I have a special interest in supporting students with IBS and chronic inflammatory conditions and can offer very targeted practices to ease some of the symptoms these conditions create.

​

My teaching experience also includes working with POTS syndrome, cardio vascular conditions e,g. high blood pressure, and I understand the impact of neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease.

I have a detailed understanding of the complexity of managing chronic pain, the implications of brain injury through spinal injury, for example central cord syndrome and how yoga can help.

​

These are just some of the conditions I have direct experience of, but whatever your situation, I can teach you how to benefit from yoga - on and off the mat. Learn to feel better, become more self aware, contented and in tune with yourself.
