It's time to set the record straight on the #1 misconception I hear from people around Donisthorpe, Swadlincote and Ashby... MYTH: "I'd love to try yoga but I'm not flexible enough." REALITY: Flexibility is the RESULT of yoga, not the REQUIREMENT! Think about it this way: That's like saying "I can't go to the gym because I'm not strong enough" or "I can't take cooking classes because I don't know how to cook." THE TRUTH ABOUT FLEXIBILITY:
Every single flexible person you see in yoga class started somewhere
Many yoga teachers (including me!) began their journey barely able to touch their knees
Props like blocks and straps exist specifically to make poses accessible for ALL bodies
The person next to you is focused on their own practice, not judging yours
Hi, I’m Sarah, a Strala yoga and Pilates teacher passionate about helping people move, feel better, and build strength in a way that works for them. I run Yoga La Zouch, offering a mix of Strala Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yogalates, Chair Yoga, and Beginners Pilates in Donisthorpe, Moira, and surrounding areas. My classes focus on ease, flow, and feeling good in your body—whether you’re looking for gentle movement, deep relaxation, or a mix of yoga and Pilates for strength and flexibility. I started teaching Pilates to complement my love of yoga and support my own perimenopause journey, and now I love helping other women navigate this phase of life through movement. I am also training to support mums in 4th trimester mums with postnatal Pilates to develop core strength and pelvic floor exercises. Outside of teaching, I’m a French and Spanish secondary school teacher, balancing my love of movement with my passion for languages. I’m also a mum of two, navigating family life, work, and my own well-being (just like so many of the people I teach!). Whether you’re a total beginner, returning to movement, or looking to deepen your practice, I’d love to work with you. Come move with me and find what feels good!
By day, I am secondary school Teacher with a passion for sharing Yoga with both the students in schools and with the local community. I support busy people and mums who aspire to be more grounded, calm and who need to find more balance in their lives.
Before I discovered Strala Yoga, I often felt overwhelmed and drained from the constant demands of family life. My days were filled with rushing around and very little time for myself. Since starting regular Strala Yoga sessions, everything has changed. The calm, flowing movements and mindful breathwork help me reconnect with myself in a way that feels natural and nurturing. Each class offers a peaceful space to reset, both physically and mentally. After every session, I feel completely refreshed—more grounded, patient, and present. I'm noticeably calmer around the children, and it's clear that taking time for this kind of self-care has had a hugely positive impact on my daily life. Strala Yoga has helped me feel more balanced and resilient, not just on the mat but in everyday moments too.
Before discovering Strala Yoga, I spent hours sitting at my desk working from home, often feeling stiff, tense, and mentally drained. I’d tried other types of yoga, but nothing quite clicked—they felt too rigid and didn’t really help me unwind after a long day. Strala Yoga felt different from the very first session. It’s like a moving meditation that flows with how your body feels, not how it “should” look. The calm, continuous movement and inspiring music create a space where I can fully relax, reconnect with my body, and quiet my mind. Now, after each class, I feel lighter, more energised, and mentally refreshed. My posture has improved, and I carry a sense of calm into the rest of my day—even after long hours at the computer. Strala has become my go-to way to release stress and move with ease. Ready to feel better in your body and mind—especially if you work from home or spend hours at a desk? Come and try a Strala Yoga class. You’ll feel the difference.
Before I started Strala Yoga, life was non-stop—juggling work from home, managing a busy household with school-age children, and fitting in my regular runs. While running helps me stay fit, I often felt tight, rushed, and disconnected from my breath and body. Strala Yoga has brought a completely different kind of energy into my routine. It’s the perfect complement to running—gentle yet powerful, flowing yet grounding. The focus on ease, softness, and being in the moment helps me slow down, stretch deeply, and recharge both physically and mentally. After each session, I feel rebalanced and lighter. My body feels more open, and my mind clearer. it’s where I find space for myself, away from the busyness of everyday life. If you’re a busy parent, runner, or just someone looking for more balance, Strala Yoga is a beautiful way to reconnect, reset, and feel great in your body. Come and join us—your mind and body will thank you.
