Yoga with Kate

Yoga is a foundational tool in my sobriety. I'd love to share it with you.

Yoga for Sobriety & Midlife

Steadying the nervous system. Strengthening the body. Softening the inner world.

Yoga has been quietly alongside me for over ten years of alcohol-free living.

Not as a performance or a fix —
but as a steady companion through midlife, change, grief, recovery, and renewal.

Through flexibility and strength, nervous system regulation and mindful attention, yoga has helped me stay connected to myself when life felt loud or uncertain. It has offered rhythm, community, grounding, and a way back into the body — again and again.

In sobriety, yoga becomes more than movement.
It becomes a way of listening.

Why Yoga Supports Sobriety & Midlife

Yoga supports alcohol-free living — especially in midlife — in quiet, powerful ways:

Nervous system regulation
Learning to downshift from stress, anxiety, overwhelm and craving into safety and presence.
Strength & resilience
Supporting bones, muscles, balance and confidence during hormonal change.
Flexibility & release
Letting go — physically and emotionally — of habits, holding patterns and expectations.
Mindfulness & non-harming
Yoga philosophy mirrors sobriety beautifully: awareness, compassion, and choosing what truly supports life.
Seasonal & cyclical wisdom
Honouring energy, rest and capacity — rather than forcing ourselves to push through.

For me, yoga and sobriety fit together like a glove.

My Yoga Training & Approach

Two years ago, on our beautiful midlife sobriety retreat in Spain, I felt the quiet but clear call to train — to deepen my practice and share it more intentionally with other women walking this path.

I am trained in:

200-hour Yoga Alliance YTT – Yinyasa Flow
with senior yoga teacher Bryony Hamerton
Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra
with therapist Helen Moss
Somatic CPD for Midlife
with Bryony Hamerton, specialising in nervous-system-led movement for women in midlife

My teaching weaves together:

somatic awareness
breath and sensation
seasonal rhythm
trauma-aware pacing
and deep respect for each woman’s capacity on any given day

This is yoga as support — not demand.
