Yoga, Meditation and Life Coaching with Michele Wilmott

Your yoga holiday sessions take place outside, overlooking a truly stunning view (weather permitting) or inside a tranquil space. All levels of ability are catered for  and sessions are intuitively designed to reinforce and strengthen the principles outlined by top International Success and Inspirational Leaders.

Yoga and Meditation teacher Michele Wilmott is also a Life Coach and Reiki practitioner with an Honours Degree in Physical Education. She regularly works with a number of UK TV personalities and her lessons are taught with warmth, humour and sensitivity.

Yoga lessons incorporate a variety of styles from more flowing sequences, to partner yoga, and yin yang yoga where postures are held for longer than usual and are designed to strengthen and lengthen joints and the deeper connective tissues of the body. In all lessons students are encouraged to use the breath to enhance each stretch and withdraw attention from our external world, so that the mind can relax and have a wonderful sense of calmness.
