Yoga Classes in Cumbria
Throughout the year I teach a rolling programme of yoga classes in Cumbria. I also offer workshops, yoga days and other special events, for students inquisitive about the experiences that are presented to us, not only on our mat, but in every day life. Workshops and retreats provide an opportunity to delve a little deeper and broaden your understanding of yoga.
All classes and most events are held at Eaglesfield Village Hall (CA13 0RN), just 2 miles from Cockermouth.
My 2020 schedule starts on Monday 6th January – all classes can be booked here.
You can find full details of upcoming workshops on my Events Page.
Sarah Kekus – Yoga Teacher
Sarah has practised yoga since she was teenager. But, it was not until she started practising Ashtanga, that she really fell in love with the peace and headspace that can come from a powerful practise linking breath with continuous flowing movement.
Initially qualifying as an Ashtanga yoga teacher, she then undertook a specific “Yoga for Dancers” training and then went on to gain a “Yoga for Sport” qualification, after training with Sarah Ramsden, who coaches yoga to Manchester United and Manchester City football players. She has also completed an intensive Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with David Swenson and, most recently, she’s completed a 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training led by Simon Park,
Sarah also regularly attends workshops and retreats led by some of the world’s most inspirational yoga teachers including Matthew Sweeney, Kino Macgregor, Alessandra Pecorella, Dany Sa, Laruga Glaser, Claire Missingham, Noelle Connolly and Julee Yew-Crijns to ensure she can bring the best of global yoga to Cumbria.

Private yoga sessions are perfect if you want to build your confidence quickly, work on alignment, manage an injury or improve sports performance. More experienced students can benefit too; working 1:1 is a great way to “fast-track” your practice, learn how to structure a home practice or try more challenging poses in a safe environment.
I also offer Yoga Prescriptions, which can be great for complete beginners unable to commit to a beginners course or for anyone looking to deepen their practice. These longer sessions allow for tons of hands-on assists, body type and movement assessments and plenty of honest appraisal/feedback. In these sessions I use video to help demonstrate alignment problems and to capture sequences, which can then be practised at home
Alternatively, if you would like a class for just you and a small group of your friends or you’d like me to come to your office to work with you and your colleagues then contact me by email. I will collaborate with you to design a personalised solution to meet your exact needs.
| NEW Yoga Prescription – 90 minutes | *£50.00 |
| 1:1 Private session – 75 minutes | £37.50 |
| 1:1 Private session – 75 minutes x 6 | £200.00 |
Private sessions are offered at my small home studio.
* Yoga Prescriptions include a movement assessment which will form the basis of a personalised yoga home-practice sequence that will be videoed during the session.
