Move with Equanimity, in Sheffield

I am passionate about health and wellbeing and supporting people in their own wellness journey- I have a special interest in older people population groups and those with mobility restrictions and limiting health conditions- It is my vision that everyone can move with equanimity- despite perceived limitations of health conditions or age- I understand how it feels to have limited mobility and suffer with constant pain- My early childhood was blighted by ill health and movement restrictions- At the age of 12 I had corrective heart surgery and afterwards I discovered that I had the ability to move without restriction or pain- It was liberating and life changing and the start of my love of all things movement and exercise related- I knew that I had been given a special gift and I decided at an early age to commit to my health and wellbeing and never take it for granted- In 2013 my world was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with a neurological condition- For a year I was barely able to move my arms and was in constant pain- It was a dark time- Modern medicine was not able to offer any solutions other than pain management- so I took control of my own healing journey and adopted a more holistic approach- It was at this time I committed to somatic Pilates and Yoga practices and mindfulness- Within a year I was relatively pain free and once again leading an active lifestyle- I was so inspired by this holistic approach to healing that I qualified as a Pilates and Yoga teacher and opened my own wellbeing studio in my hometown of Penistone- My teaching style is supportive- inclusive and with lots of laughter- In 2021 as part of my own wellness journey I studied about the effects of Menopause and the impact on healthy ageing and qualified as a specialist Menopause Yoga teacher- I am passionate about educating and empowering women within their menopause journey- offering group classes and workshops within my community and in workplace settings- I now specialise in older people population groups out in the community as a Health and Wellbeing Coordinator for the Barnsley Borough- with Age UK Barnsley- I also offer group classes- courses- workshops and 1-1 private consultations- When I am not sharing my love of movement and wellness to you all- I can be found out in nature walking with my dogs- tending my garden where I enjoy growing fruit- vegetables and flowers- snuggling at home with my cats and hens- playing in my kitchen experimenting with new healthy recipes and of course practicing daily my somatic inspired movement practices to ensure that I continue to Move With Equanimity-
