Creating a space for you to relax, calm your mind AND get flexible and mobile
Welcome to Space for You Yoga with Lou, your sanctuary for peace and well-being in Gosport. Discover a variety of yoga classes designed to nurture your body, mind, and spirit. I am delighted to welcome you to our friendly community.
Why yoga?
Everyone can benefit from yoga - and yes - that means you too!
So often I hear people say 'but I'm not flexible'. You don't have to be flexible to start yoga. Most of us will never achieve 'Insta' poses but it is so important for us to have mobility, flexibility and good balance as we get older and that journey can start whether we are in our 20s, 50s or 70s, whether we are female or male.
Finding space to relax, focus on our breath and calm our nervous system is vital in today's frenetic lifestyle.
Yoga meets us where we are and benefits both our physical and mental wellbeing.
Yoga classes designed for you
My yoga classes are tailored to meet your individual needs, from complete beginners to those needing a little more support, to those with a little more experience, I aim to meet you where you are.
For evening classes you need to be able to get up and down off the floor but within the class there are options to help you develop your practice at your pace.
Mixed mat and chair gentle yoga classes enable you to feel supported and still get all the benefits of yoga.
My approach focuses on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical pathways to help you challenge yourself but relax and calm your mind at the same time.

My journey with yoga
I have been practising yoga for almost twenty years, finding that the more I incorporated all of the elements of yoga, the better I felt in my mind and body. Having worked as a teacher in education for almost thirty years, I love the opportunity to now share the practice of Yoga as a qualified Yoga teacher and spread the physical and mental benefits it can bring.
News and insights
On my blog page, I share details of new classes, events and insights and thoughts to support your yoga practice and holistic well-being journey.
"Such a relaxing and peaceful experience. Being gently guided to give new movements a go to the best of my ability. I love the fact that there's always another option to choose from should I be uncomfortable. Honestly, one of the best things I have done. The sessions are filled with laughter along the way too. Love my Monday stretching! "

"As a beginner to yoga, I had no idea what to expect. Lou's calm demeanour and passion for yoga put me at ease. She talks you through each step with patience and attention to detail, wanting nothing but the best for her clients. I've quickly learnt that I'm more flexible than I thought and that is all thanks to Lou's teaching and support. I am so glad Lou introduced me to yoga; whether you are a beginner or experienced, Lou's yoga sessions are definitely for you!
