Yoga

YTS was created as a space to offer classes in yoga for those looking to spend intentional time on the mat. If you are unsure about trying yoga for the first time, this is a welcoming space that can offer you support throughout out the class. With many different styles available hopefully there will be an option for you. 

Meet the teacher

I’m Meg the creator & teacher at the Yoga Teaspot.

 

There are a lot of classes available based around my experience with Ashtanga, Vinyasa & Yin. Each have different aims & benefits. The space allows for up to 8 yogis to practice which offers more guidance & support throughout.  I include techniques to become present, deepening our focus with Mindfulness & Pranayama (breathing techniques). Guiding a sequence of movements & Asanas (postures) & usually closing the class in relaxation maybe with guided meditation or healing sounds.

 

My classes are all about creating space — space to feel, connect, and explore movement in a way that supports you. I love weaving together breath, intention, and curiosity to help you tune into your body and find what feels right 🧘🏼‍♀️

Teacher Training

I am a 500hr YTT Certified teacher in Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga & Yin. I did my training in September 2021 in the south of Spain at Wild Warrior Yoga. Taught by Morwenna, Lascel & Emily, some of the loveliest, passionate & energetic people I have met. Morwenna glided us through Vinyasa traditions, creative sequencing alongside helping to introduce & decipher the wonderfully complex Yoga Philosophy teachings. Lascel instilled in us the commandments of Ashtanga & helped us to dissect  anatomy & its relationship to yoga. I was introduced to Yin by Emily, a style I didn’t fully appreciate initially however through more study & practice I have come to really appreciate this. I have recently completed my 300hr YTT online with Arohan Yoga & here I expanded my knowledge further & explored more deeply Hatha & Philosophy. 

Teaching Experience

My  experience has been for over 3 years now teaching in studios, surf camps & retreats. I returned home from my YTT to join Mysore practice at my local studio Yoga at the reach where I met Nicola. A stunningly efficient & certified Ashtanga teacher. I was grateful to join further classes where we explored deeper the teachings of Patangali & ways in which to help align & adjust students. Joining the timetable here to cover Ashtanga Half Primary Led classes, Vinyasa & Yin style classes. I left my home town to begin teaching Yin at retreats in Tenerife before finding myself in Morocco teaching at various surf camps & at my space. My learning continues daily with each class I prepare & every student is different which brings new lessons. 

 

Style

I prepare classes with a mix of movements with options to challenge yourself. I love to share alignment & guidance on the traditional teachings however it is more important for me to see you are listening to your body & that there is more focus on the feeling of the stretch than the shape. I also encourage a lot of observance & reflection within the class to allow you time to understand your body’s capabilities, any limitations & any sensations. The purpose of all my classes is to practice being present & nourish the body through mindful movements whilst feeling comfortable to completely let go & have fun with it. I also like to allow time where possible after the class to reflect on the class, ask any questions or maybe enjoy a mindful chat with a cup of tea 🙂
