I know some of you know me, but let me introduce myself again for those that are new here and don't know me.
I'm Sarsha - I've had 54 trips around the sun and feel no age at all.
I am the Yoga teacher/guide and proud custodian of the space I named Yoga Movement Studio.
Yoga has been in my life for many years, nearly 30 years. I have been teaching/guiding yoga movement for nearly 20 of those years.
I came to yoga because of work related back pain (I was a sewing machinist for 12 years). Yoga has also helped me navigate mental health issues. Yoga has also supported me through menopause.
Yoga guides me everyday - simply to be and know that is enough - self acceptance.
Yoga/Movement has given and continues to give me vitality and a zest for life. And I want to share that with you.
I no longer have constant back pain and my mental health is good the majority of the time and when its not (we all have off/raw days) I lean deeper into yoga, it's teachings and the support it offers.
I have studied yoga and movement with many different teacher/mentors over the years. And now teach my own eclectic mix of yoga, Pilates, movement and mindfulness.
I love sharing yoga with those who think yoga isn't for them, those who think they are not flexible enough, zen enough, those who have been other classes and left feeling "inadequate" - I know that feeling and aim to deliver classes that support and empower you on your yoga/movement journey.
I believe that Yoga doesn't have to be about advanced poses, it can be about self exploration and acceptance through thoughtful sustainable movement (that fits you) and mindful rest/stillness/relaxation.
I created Yoga Movement Studio - YMS - A bespoke yoga/wellness space in the loft at 54 Bridge Street Gainsborough. For those who want to take time to nurture and nourish themselves with movement and rest. I aim to be a guide to help you find healthy nourishing movement that suits and works for your body. And mindful calmness to help your flourish mentally and emotionally.
YMS will be 8 years old in July 2025. I am so proud yet humbled by how YMS has grown and what it has become. An urban sanctuary for sustainable movement and mindful rest.
Away from yoga classes I am a mum to two teenagers, a wife, a daughter and a friend.
My other passion in life is horses. Horses have been in my life for 40+ years. I was 10 when I had my first riding lesson and I have been horsey-ing ever since. If I'm not yoga-ing, planning yoga classes/sessions, listening to yoga podcast or pawing over yoga books you will find me at the farm looking after the equine love of my life Mr B.
My life is a routine of school runs, horse looking after and yoga. Occasional camping, skiing, indoor bouldering and nature walking.
Happiness and health to you.
Sarsha
