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!"
