Yoga with Russell
Calm, strength and balance, wherever you are
I offer private yoga sessions across Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, and Cookham, as well as a weekly online live class every Thursday, 9:30–10:30 am. Each session is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and build strength physically and mentally, in the comfort of your own home or a private studio space.
Settle the mind. Strengthen the body. Reconnect with yourself.
My Iyengar-inspired yoga sessions are grounded, mindful, and tailored to you. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced — just open to moving, breathing, and giving yourself some space.
Each session blends movement, mindfulness, and relaxation, leaving you feeling calmer, steadier, and more centred. Whether you want to ease stress, recover from injury, or carve out a peaceful hour for yourself, this is your space to reset and restore.

MY PATH TO YOGA
My Story
Yoga has transformed my life. As a hairdresser, I spent years on the go, exhausted, anxious, and constantly chasing the next thing that I hoped would bring peace. Yoga helped me quiet my mind, reconnect with my body, and find stillness in the noise.
I first discovered yoga while recovering from sciatica, and it was a turning point. Through consistent practice, I healed without medication and discovered how powerful mindful movement can be.
Now, yoga is a way of life, keeping me grounded, strong, and centred both on and off the mat. You can experience the same benefits, starting with small choices made today: pause, breathe, and give yourself the gift of calm.

I teach Iyengar-inspired yoga, a steady, precise practice focusing on alignment, balance, and awareness. Each class is personalised to your body and experience — whether you’re brand new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice.
Classes can be held:
-
Privately in a studio or your home

You’ll leave feeling a little stronger, a little taller, and a lot calmer.
Find your calm, one breath at a time.
I offer private yoga sessions across Marlow, Cookham and Maidenhead, as well as a weekly online live class every Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. It’s a gentle, grounding hour to move, breathe and reset from home.
Private classes give you personalised guidance, support and space to work on exactly what you need — whether that’s easing stress, building strength or recovering from injury.

Bring yourself, a mat and an open mind. I’ll take care of the rest.

QUALIFICATIONS
About Me
​
I’m an Iyengar Yoga instructor based in Marlow, Cookham & Maidenhead.
I first discovered yoga in my early twenties through a general teacher training course, but it was Iyengar Yoga that truly captured my interest. Under the guidance of senior Iyengar teachers Uday Bhosale and Sheila Haswell, I discovered how Iyengar’s precise focus on alignment could deepen my understanding of yoga.
This inspired me to undertake a two-year Iyengar Yoga teacher training with my mentor Sheila Haswell (CIYT), completing over 150 hours of practical tuition alongside study in anatomy, asana, and pranayama (breath work). In my final year, I also assisted Sheila in her classes twice a week, gaining hands-on teaching experience.
In the summer of 2019, I qualified as a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.
