ABOUT LEAM YOGA
I'm Lucy the creator of LEAM Yoga.
Based in Walthamstow (E17), East London, I've been teaching drama and movement since 2014. My classes offer a grounding, reflective space for people of all abilities and body types. I teach yoga, breath work, meditation, and movement practices rooted in anatomical and physiological awareness, yogic philosophy, and my own lived experience.
LEAM stands for my initials- but it also means “to gleam” or “to shine,” reflecting the deep transformation yoga can bring to our lives.
With a broad background in teaching and a range of specialist qualifications, I offer vinyasa, hatha, slow flow yoga, meditation and breath work as well as yoga for pregnancy, postnatal care, children, and teens. My teaching is informed by extensive trainings and experience accumulated since 2009.
My teaching beliefs
I believe movement, yoga, and breath work can unlock a deep sense of freedom and connection within the body and mind. My teaching encourages exploration over perfection-inviting students to show up just as they are, without judgment or expectation.
With compassion and awareness at the core of my approach, I honour the uniqueness of every body and life experience. I weave together anatomy, alignment, yogic philosophy, and spiritual reflection, offering classes that are non-dogmatic, inclusive, and grounded in both safety and self-inquiry.
I always provide pose variations to support accessibility and empowerment for all students, regardless of experience or ability. My aim is to foster a welcoming, supportive space where trust between teacher and student creates the foundation for meaningful, personal practice.
Private sessions are tailored to each individual’s body, energy, and goals-recognising that our needs evolve over time. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I work with you to meet your body and mind where they are today.
