Light Up Your Life Yoga covers yoga classes delivered by Lucy Cleary.
I started practising yoga in 2003 when I had mild postnatal depression after the birth of my youngest child. Yoga made a difference to my life almost instantly, helping me to feel like I could cope again, and helping me to sleep. During my teaching I have found yoga to have the same effect on other people. I trained in Yoga Therapy as a way to develop my skills in delivering therapeutic yoga, working with people to provide them with the tools they need to improve their own health.
Yoga Teaching
I have been teaching yoga since 2008. I completed a 200 hour Teaching Qualification with Dru Yoga in 2009. This course is accredited by the Independent Yoga Network.
Since then, I have gained thousands of hours of teaching experience.
Yoga Therapy
In 2016 I qualified as a Yoga Therapist after doing a 500 hour Dru Yoga Therapy course which is accredited by the British Council of Yoga Therapists and while practising I was registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
Although I am no longer offering Yoga Therapy sessions, my general yoga classes are therapeutic in nature. I teach techniques I learned in Yoga Therapy training and used in Yoga Therapy practice to help participants improve their physical and mental well-being.
