Welcome to Discover Yoga Discover You

Hello, I’m Louise

I’m an experienced Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Instructor (500 Hr YA), accredited Meditation Teacher (BSoM), and Tai Chi Shibashi Teacher Trainer (TCfBH), based in Bristol, UK..

I didn’t take up Yoga until my early 50s due to mental and physical exhaustion running my own engineering business and due to a very challenging Menopause........but now I’ve left all that behind and am blessed to be able to teach what I love full-time.

Practice with me

A practice that meets you where you are

Yoga has literally changed my life and constantly inspires, drives and supports me to live a fully enriched life that I never knew I could have.

I now seek to teach what I love to my students – with an emphasis on introducing Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation to complete beginners as well as those who have an existing practice.

My passion is to support all of my students in their journey both on and off their mats via imaginative sequencing, a spirit of gentleness and playfulness and continued inspiration.

I seek to help them thrive and deepen their practice into what they truly need in order to nurture their mind, body and soul.

I understand how intimidating the current world of Yoga practice can be…

(and I know this all too well because I felt truly terrified when I started!

The most common things I hear from students is....

“I’m not flexible enough”

I’m not fit enough”

“I’m just too old now”

But that’s why we DO Yoga! Yoga helps us work towards improving our flexibility, strength and good physical mental health - and all in a Non-Judgemental and Non-Competitive, fully supportive environment.

How magic is that!!?

So, you won’t find me on Instagram in fancy clothes, or in gravity defying headstands or tying myself in knots.....

Still feeling hesitant?

Then why not come along and try a class with me for just £5, online or in-person and just see how you feel?

I promise that everyone attending has the same level of insecurities over their bodies, their flexibility and their confidence etc.

We are all in this together – but what connects us all is a lively determination deep inside to improve our health and well-being both physically and mentally.

Come along and join one of my friendly, supportive groups and see how real yoga can be for real people!

“Following a hip injury I was looking for a gentle way to improve my flexibility. I initially tried one of Lou’s taster sessions and then began a weekly practice - that was more than 2 years ago now!

Lou is very welcoming and supportive to people of all ages and abilities. With small class numbers each practice is personal and engaging.

I particularly like the variety of each practice and I can honestly say that no two classes have been the same in the entire time I have been practicing. Most importantly I can confirm that regular practice means my hip feels fantastic!”
