Well Woman Yoga
The benefits of Yoga for women
The benefits of yoga for women's health are well established, from supporting fertility through to ageing well. This women-only class focuses on yoga for the female body: a varied class working on flexibility, strengthening, resting and practices for mental well-being.
Class details
In this woman-centred yoga class, we start with a yoga nidra relaxation, then focus on movement, finishing with breathing techniques and a mini meditation. It's a very friendly class. Each class is different!

Beginners welcome
I have been a British Wheel of Yoga teacher since 2004 and have trained with fantastic teachers such as Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Donna Fahri and Liz Koch. I now train other yoga teachers, specialising in pregnancy and postnatal CPD and circle facilitation.
What others say…
“I very much enjoy the coherent, flowing character of the yoga class. i also appreciate the way Tessa very gently makes sure that everyone in the class can benefit from the exercises.
I'm much older than the other women in the class, so am faced with different challenges, but I am grateful to be included in all the poses, and I think my balance is indeed improving!” Vickie, January 2025
“Over the years I’ve attended Tessa’s women’s yoga, pregnancy yoga, and baby yoga classes. She works with such great knowledge, care and gentleness to create a calming, supportive environment that tends to body and mind.
Tessa also encourages social connection and promotes a sense of community, and her classes are a great way to meet others and make friends.” Nicola Abram, February 2025
“Tessa runs a very special yoga class which starts with a guided relaxation followed by yoga. She creates a sense of community and always radiates positivity.
The class consistently boosts my mood and is something I have enjoyed doing now for 5 years. Would highly recommend!” Beth Djaadoun, February 2025

Yoga for women's health.
A live class is always preferable to a pre-recorded one because the teacher is observing you and giving suggestions or modifying a movement to make it as beneficial to you as possible.
However, it's good to keep moving throughout the week, so check out my YouTube channel for yoga sequences and relaxations.
