Fantastic small yoga practice. Great beginners class so you can start from scratch with regular classes to follow on. Fran is a fabulous teacher and you can put in as much (or as little) effort as you want in each class - there is no pressure or competition. Highly recommended to both new and experienced yogis x

Totally agree with Zoe's description of Fran's classes. Also, ...
I could only attend Fran's classes for a while as I moved counties - which is such a shame. Fran has so much knowledge and her classes are very welcoming and nurturing. I was very impressed with the way Fran taught a range of abilities seamlessly in the same class - each of us being able to practice our own yoga according to our own abilities. Looking now at her online classes, I can see that these are just as wonderful and accessible for all. Hopefully I shall move back one day and be able to practice with Lotus Leaf Yoga again....

​"I really like the yoga itself but Fran was brilliant. Her instructions were clear and she demonstrated the poses leaving me in no doubt how to do them. I liked how she described the process we were aiming for of body awareness and she said at anytime a pose hurts or doesn't feel right for you don't do it. I liked when she said your body,your yoga so we can adapt the poses to suit our bodies.There was so much I liked about my Lotus Leaf experience and nothing I didn't like."

"Thank you for this morning. It was an amazing practice. Something felt different, but I'm not sure what! Funnily, I was chatting with M. as we left and she felt the same. So, many thanks for whatever it was you did. It was lovely!"

Humanism is a non-religious philosophy, based on liberal human values. 

Honesty,  healthy scepticism, rational thought. And the very simple idea that knowing what's really true in this world genuinely matters, and can help us lead a better life.

Lotus Leaf is a small, dedicated yoga~inspired Humanist Movement practice, guided by Frances Keeley.
