Kindness To the Body: Elaine Marie Ewens

Yoga teacher, Elaine Marie Ewens, will guide you through a series of gentle yoga postures, along with breathing, sound, and visualisation practices, creating a space for you to unwind after a working week. This is your space—a place to return to your centre and honour your beautiful self by gifting yourself kindness, rest, and restoration.

With individual attention, Elaine ensures that you practice safely and healthily. She teaches “gentle” yoga—it is slow, powerful, kind, mindful, and subtle. Working on a deep level, its many benefits are supported by a large body of scientific research. By offering a safe space to explore the connection between your physical, respiratory, emotional, and mental bodies, Elaine invites you to nurture self-compassion—if we are kind to ourselves, we are whole and healthy, and we gain the resources and resilience to be kind to others.

With a background in biological science, Elaine blends practical rationale with yoga philosophy, poetic inspiration, and wisdom from both modern and ancient sources, staying true to yoga’s spiritual roots. She studied in the traditions of TKV Desikachar and T Krishnamacharya—more information is available at elainemarieewens.co.uk

All are welcome, regardless of gender or experience; the class is suitable for most abilities and ages.
