Have you been curious to try yoga but don't know where to start? This course is the perfect starting point to learn all the essential tools for a basic yoga practice that you can take into any hatha or vinyasa yoga class beyond this course. You will learn a basic sun salutation sequence, how to connect movement with breath in a way that enhances power and focus, and some foundational standing poses, balances, twists and backbends, which will provide you with a solid base to build upon in future classes.

Discover “Pilates Blend”, a unique class developed by Casey that uses a creative sequence of exercises to enhance the strength and skill needed for classical Pilates, blended with the mindfulness and relaxation of yoga.

Hi, I’m Casey! I have been teaching Hatha yoga since 2016 after discovering how incredible yoga is at getting “the edge” in my performance as an international dressage rider. As dressage requires the ultimate balance between power and suppleness to excel, I understand the importance of feeling strong and empowered whilst experiencing calm and ease within the body.

This balance of energy forms the ethos of my classes, with a unique approach to movement that has been developed over years of practice and experience in yoga, Pilates, barre and strength training. I have found this fusion-inspired approach to be the most beneficial for people trying to feel better in their bodies in the modern western world.

With extensive experience as a coach, I am skilled in communicating the right sensations and “feel” required for correct technique so you can obtain a feeling of mastery over your movement. I can safely challenge and motivate you to dig a little deeper so that you believe in yourself, all whilst maintaining a sense of ease and calm. I use resistance bands and props to assist in building strength and developing flexibility, ensuring everyone’s individual needs are met.

Since retiring from a professional dressage riding career in 2024, I have been teaching yoga and Pilates full time and am working towards my personal training, nutritionist and sports massage qualifications.

Yoga and my new “Pilates Blend” classes are currently being held at the Wellbeing at the Barn studio in Cricklade, and Crudwell, Charlton, Minety, Brinkworth, Little Somerford and Bushton village halls.
