In taking time for yourself on your mat you are also reaching out to others. So thank you thank you thank you.

What is the Yoga at Home Movement?

While in isolation I teach online yoga classes to friends and family. Partly because it's been important for us to have an event in the diary to stop, shake everything off and just breathe, but it's also just helped us feel connected by doing something together, apart. I never ask for any money; all the classes I have done and will continue to do are completely free. But many people are looking for ways to help outside of their mats, and I thought this would be a way to connect beyond our screens to the places where our support is needed most right now. So, this is a small platform for anyone who wants to donate anything they can spare to help the NHS fight during the incredibly challenging circumstances we are all currently facing.

How do I get involved?

If you know anyone that wants to take a yoga class for charity (or just for yourself!), whether they are complete beginners or well-practiced, young or old, injured or fighting fit send me a message (details below) and I'll be on your screens with a tailored yoga practice that hopefully fulfills both the mind and body's needs.

Who are Woman's Trust?

Woman's Trust is an incredible organization providing specialist free mental health support to women who have been a victim of domestic abuse. 

For many of us, being confined to our homes during the Covid-19 outbreak does not threaten our safety - it's keeping us safe! But for some, home is not a safe place, and being trapped there has lead to a shocking increase in domestic abuse cases, and therefore a significant increase in demand for the Woman's Trust services.

The charity is facing a funding shortfall of £100,000 and urgently needs to raise at least £40,000 over the next eight weeks. There are women hidden behind closed doors who need our help more than ever, so please give what you can.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
