I might have to accept growing old -
but I'm darned if I will accept growing infirm!

That's my mantra - and it's what Yoga over 45 is built on.
In my 70's and practising yoga for over 50 years I specialise in yoga for ageing well - classes designed around what I call the 4 "S"'s: strength; stabiity; stretching and stress reduction.

We're living far longer than our predecessors. But we're living sicker.
Getting older does NOT have to mean getting stiffer, weaker, heavier or sicker.

Number of classes at Bawtry, Tickhill or Cantley. Mornings and evenings. PLUS 6 week courses for absolute beginners AND live classes and recordings online.

CHOOSE FROM:

There are regular, weekly classes that run almost all year round but if you're totally new and a bit nervous why not try a 6 week absolute beginner course instead??

These 6 week Absolute Beginner Programmes are held at Bawtry or Tickhill, in the evenings, and I run these 5 times a year, so there's a break between sets. A great way to get the basics with additional online support to help you really remember and embed what you learn so you make progress more quickly toward your health goals.

The fourth set of Absolute Beginner courses of 2026 start 1st September 2026.

WANT A DAY TIME CLASS?
Unlike the 6 week courses above, these classes run all year round - no breaks except for Dec and part January when I take a well-earned rest!

If you're free in the daytime, classes run most of the year for beginners too - so don't let never having done yoga before put you off! (See below)

And if youre not sure which class ring me - we'll work it out together!

Absolute Beginner 6 week course

All classes will help you:

Build back strength and muscle which are VITAL as we age.
Prevent or reduce stiffness and back or joint pain.
Improve your balance.
De-stress, unwind and feel calmer. (And these days - that's a biggie!)
Improve your flexibility and core strength. (It will also minimise the risk of injury & improve flexibility if you enjoy more strenuous sports.)
Tone your muscles..
Under 45(lucky you!) but feel intimidated by vigorous yoga styles or have health issues which would benefit from a gentler approach then these courses or classes might be a better fit for you.

You'll find a relaxed approach; which allows you to move at your own pace, yet challenges you to improve your current fitness level, and takes account of the whole you - not just your physical health; but your mental and emotional health too.

You can do nothing about your age
But you can affect HOW you age.
