Ellie Watt Yoga & Reiki
Yoga
I teach group yoga classes (check out the class information at the bottom of this page), and I also offer tailored 1:1 / small group sessions.
In our classes we flow through creative and playful vinyasa sequences which are often blended with Hatha, Ashtanga and Yin, for a yang - yin fusion.
We combine fluid movement and flowing with the breath, with an emphasis on safe alignment that suits the individual’s body and needs. The classes balance strength with flexibility and include breathing and meditations, which leave you feeling replenished and calm with a more positive outlook.
I strongly encourage people to learn to move in an intuitive way that feels good, safe and natural in their bodies. I believe that somatic movement is integral to yoga, meaning that our movement is embodied and we focus on the internal experience and the feeling aspects, rather than the external appearance or results. I want people to feel confident and free in their bodies and minds. I aim to provide a yoga class experience where everyone feels empowered to follow their intuition and prioritise their own well-being.
I am passionate about creating a warm sense of community, and encouraging those who come to my classes to feel inspired and confident enough to start (or continue) their home yoga practice. I’m a down to earth, warm, and welcoming presence, and like to provide a relaxed atmosphere both in-person and online. As cliché as it sounds, I want you to feel like you’re practising with a friend.
​
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired of meeting the demands of everyone and everything around you, yearning to reconnect to yourself, then I am here to support and empower you. Find some essential and priceless quiet time to tend to your physical, mental and spiritual wellness. A consistent yoga practice whether at home or in class can be truly transformative.
​
Since completing my yoga teacher training in 2016 I have also trained in Yin Yoga, Yoga for Children, Trauma Training for Yoga Teachers and Meditation and Mantra. Alongside this I am a qualified Reiki Master. Using yoga and Reiki (separately and at times together) I have worked with clients who have PTSD, chronic fatigue, sciatica, social anxiety and specific emotional traumas. My upcoming trainings include Yoga Nidra for Mental Health and Functional Yoga Anatomy.
