We'll ease ourselves in with a cup of tea and some introductions. I'll share my experience of the Olympic Games, including some personal behind-the-scenes photos, and talk about what life is like as a full-time elite athlete. We'll then flow through a creative hatha yoga class suitable for any level of yogi, whether you're a complete novice or a regular on the mat. My goal will be to find something that feels good for you and to help you finish feeling better than when you started. At the end, I'll answer any questions you might have, from training and fitness to what it's like to sit on the starting line of an Olympic final or live in the Olympic Village. I’m trained and fully qualified to teach hatha, vinyasa, yin, and restorative yoga, so if you're booking a private class, the style of yoga can be very much dictated by you, your needs, and what you're feeling that day. This experience is great for team-building. Book a private experience for your group. Is your group larger than my listed max group size for private groups or you'd like a different time slot? Send me a message. Other things to note If you have any injuries or concerns, please drop me a message before class so I can adapt the experience to support you best.

Wildlife Walks with the Bird Whisperer! I imagine a number of you have wandered through beautiful countryside before, but never really “seen” the wildlife that's there, watching and living among us. It’s there, all around us, but takes a trained ear and eye to see it. Let me guide you on a walk where you may see the beautiful Kingfisher, admire the incredibly friendly firecrests, visit the captivating yellowhammers, spot the elusive goldcrests, even spend time watching the majestic kites and buzzards, and I’ll help you understand the differences. You will explore our fantastic countryside on a guided walk, introducing several varieties of birds, insects and animals along the way. Other things to note Please contact me on info@goringgapwildlifewalks.co.uk if you have specific bird life you would like to try and see. I can arrange binocular rental if requested in advance, which I would advise as it will allow you to see the birds Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing for a walk outside.
