Namaste - let your journey begin
”My mission is to ‘keep yoga real’ by encouraging students to not only stretch, strengthen and heal their bodies physically, but to also to deepen their self awareness, in order to strengthen and open their minds too. Yoga and meditation enables you to discover new dimensions of consciousness, potential and transformation, so that you embrace and live your best possible life.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
Retreat with me;
When you take time out to recharge and renew, it literally alters your perception of life.
I have been leading retreats for 18 years now and love this part of my work more than ever. There is always an element of the unknown to begin with, however I try my best to humble myself to the power of yoga and encourage my students to do the same from the very beginning. After a couple of days, the yoga connects us, then in no time at all, a special vibe begins to emerge, both from the yoga space and from the group.
Each class is progress, even more so on a yoga holiday and one of the most magical things about a retreat is that it always gives back. We let go, we form strong bonds, we play and laugh, we get out of our heads and open our hearts, so that we come home feeling nourished, nurtured and re-inspired, perhaps even with a new passion or vision for all that lies ahead of us.
Teacher training and mentoring;
Professional development for trainee and qualified teachers.
Over my 20 years of teaching yoga, I have mentored and trained many students and teachers. I offer mentoring as a private one to one service, or you may prefer to share the time and cost with another colleague, or a small personal group.
Masterclasses;
Lets learn, inquire and move together.
I teach master-classes with focus on various yoga methods such as; meditation, yin yoga, restorative yoga, vinyasa yoga and somatic yoga. These classes are a great way to advance your practice or to explore a topic in more depth.
YouTube classes for all levels;
Making yoga accessible for everyone.
I started my YouTube channel in June of 2020, it has been the most wonderful platform and given back more than I could possibly have imagined. The channel is gradually growing in subscribers and the classes are free so please do head over and try them out.
Private personal yoga tuition or small group sessions;
Practice with me, open your body and mind.
One to one bespoke yoga sessions are such a rewarding part of my work. I have a fully equipped pine clad yoga cabin studio at the end of my garden which is very private and peaceful, so the perfect environment to practice yoga.
“Brigitte’s beautifully designed classes are a culmination of her years of experience and her innate ability to connect with her students. She manages to gently encourage her beginners, yet stretch her experienced yoginis; to be soulful, yet playful, at the same time. Brigitte’s authenticity and wonderful philosophy make every session meaningful, her teachings always inspire me to take something forward into my daily life. Whether it’s vinyasa, yin, meditation, or nidra, she brings her own unique magic every time, her sessions and retreats always leave me feeling ‘smoothed out’ in both body and mind.” – Lorie
“Brigitte is an inspirational tutor and writer, she is also one of those unique teachers who is always growing herself through practise, training and experience, then synthesizing these facets into understandable practises and philosophy for her students. She has helped me personally to rebuild post various life challenges, injuries and surgeries whilst at the same time encouraging me and keeping the experience fun, hence the reason I always come back. Her retreats are exceptional and the fact that she truly cares about you as a person too, shines through everything she does. I could not recommend Brigitte more highly.” – Val
