ABOUT US

From Rochdale & Oldham. We launched Your Home Yoga CIC in September 2020 in response to the pandemic in an attempt to offer our support and services to anyone feeling isolated and lovely. To our surprise, we found that meeting people in their homes, from our homes, added something really lovely to our yoga experience and for many, this has become their preference, being more accessible, convenient and liberating! 

We set up as a Community Interest Company (CIC), because our motivation is to provide a service, wherever it’s most needed in our communities. Any profit we make is re-invested, to extend our reach to a wider audience and improve what we offer. We have been able to offer a variety of specialist classes free of charge, with thanks to the Lottery Fund, Small Good Stuff and in particular Action Together. These have included several free courses for adults with learning disabilities and research projects offering free classes to carers and anyone experiencing chronic fatigue. With our enormous thanks to further support from The Lottery Fund and Action Together in Oldham and Rochdale, we are able to run FREE Chair Yoga 4 times each week and a Guided Relaxation. 

We aim to reach people, who may otherwise not readily have access to the benefits of an online or in person community. If there is a group or need that you think we should consider, please let us know. We both have had a wide range of teaching experience and very encouraging feedback of the benefits enjoyed. We believe that yoga has something for every body. 

We also host monthly in person "Mini-Retreats" at Denshaw village hall, where we spend a Sunday afternoon together each month, to relax and enjoy exploring our chosen theme through yoga. 

We (Debbie Cumming & Louise Corlett) are both qualified teachers of yoga (each with over 500 hours YTT & many years of study and experience) and are committed to practice and development. We appreciate all of the support, guidance and encouragement given to us by everyone we have met along the way. We are also extremely grateful to Community Catalysts, People Plus, Enterprise You, Small Good Stuff and Action Together and The Lottery Fund. All of whom have enabled us to believe that what we do is valuable and valid as well as supporting us to offer the best possible service and broaden our scope.  

Our approach to teaching yoga, is to encourage you to notice sensations, your breath, tune in to how you are feeling at any given moment and to show kindness and understanding towards yourself, by moving and breathing in ways that feel comfortable and nourishing. We invite you to explore ways to access more strength, freedom and ease of movement in your everyday life.
