Why practise Yoga with us?

What makes Yoga One Bournemouth different?

If you’re completely new to Yoga in Bournemouth why should you entrust the beginning of this potentially life changing journey to us? If you’ve been practising for years or even decades, maybe your practice has spanned continents, styles and linages what do we have to offer you?

Friendly family run Yoga studio with small class sizes and individual attention on your practice

Our lively little yoga studio in Bournemouth is beautiful, clean, warm and most of all welcoming. Our classes tend to be small with plenty of space to practice in and as we get to know you and your practice we like to offer individual guidance to those students that would benefit from it. The studio has a wonderfully friendly atmosphere and it won’t take long for it to feel like a second home.

Experienced, passionate, professional Yoga teachers

We have twenty-six years teaching experience between us and teach thousands of hours of Yoga in Bournemouth each year, we teach Yoga for our living and we genuinely love doing it. We understand how fortunate we are to be doing this with our lives and feel honoured by each student who chooses to practise with us.

The practice of Yoga evolves constantly. With each new student, with each new teaching voice. It evolves with new understanding of how our nervous system builds pathways and how our gut-biome affects our mental health. As the practice evolves, as our personal practices adapt to our circumstances, our changing bodies so our teaching adapts, assimilates new knowledge, adjusts, never forgetting the ancient foundations of Yoga. As students we honour the teachers who have contributed their time and wisdom to our practice while staying true to ourselves, as teachers we want you have the same freedom to express your practice authentically while retaining a deep connection to the fundamentals of Yoga theory and practice.


About Lucy & Jesse, how we came to Bournemouth and our philosophy and approach to Yoga

Lucy and Jesse on Bournemouth beach with their daughter Hera

After 10 years of teaching Yoga to hundreds of people every week, in studios, schools, hospitals, corporate environments, and people’s homes. I came to the realisation that working at a single studio where my students could come to me would help me to be more grounded and present in myself and as a teacher. I met Jesse at one of the studios we were both teaching at and as it happened we both shared a vision of moving back to the UK and opening our own little yoga studio. Finding a yoga studio in the heart of Bournemouth was such an exciting opportunity as it meant we could still live near the beach as I had loved doing in Melbourne.

I have studied ayurveda, meditation, Yoga teaching and advanced movement awareness. The teachers who really changed the way I think about yoga include Deepak Chopra, Donna Farhi, Judith Lasater, Tom Myers, Jo Phee, Richard Freeman, Rod Stryker and Shiva Rea. It was after understanding the additional benefits of joint mobility and deep stretch in my own practice that I was inspired to train in Yin Yoga. I found not only does the practice of Yin Yoga serve the deeper body but also promote sense of lightness and introspection for the self. As an assistant to Judith Lasater in her Restorative Yoga teacher training in Australia I learned to trust my instinctive yen toward the slower paced practices. I’m really excited to be offering Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga as part of Yoga One’s classes and specialities to the Bournemouth Yoga community.

My aim with my teaching in Bournemouth is high quality Yoga, informed by the students’ stage of development. My teaching methods are based on my experience in the art of practising Yoga, balancing structural stability, authenticity and key principles of the practice. I hope my classes are accessible and encourage freedom and presence. I like to focus on ‘how’ to move well and find a sense of ease in your practice that supports a deep connection with your body and your self. Above all my classes are fun, detailed and challenging. – Lucy

The practice of Yoga changed my life. It is both very very simple and infinitely deep. You can practice anywhere, at anytime, by yourself or with any number of people. It teaches connection and union, with yourself, with your community and with the universe. And if that wasn’t enough already it also makes you feel amazing!

I have been lucky to be taught by many wonderful yogis but the two I want to mention are Jimmy Barkan for his passion for the art of teaching and the importance of understanding your lineage and my wife Lucy who has managed to temper my sometimes zealous approach to asana with patience and wisdom.

The one thing I hope to communicate in my classes is the power and simplicity of stillness. The practice of Yoga in Bournemouth can sometimes get caught up in it’s superficial point of difference – asana. But whether your practice is Ashtanga or Hatha, Yin or Meditation it is all a practice of finding stillness. Chitta vritti nirodha. – Jesse

First and foremost we love Yoga, we love to practice and our love of the practice has led us to teaching, we love teaching and we’d love to teach you. All we can hope is that when you come to class you leave the studio feeling good.
