'It’s not just about learning how to sing or hold a yoga pose - it helps students gain confidence.'
On a beach on the wild Northumberland coast, a group of ten women stand on their yoga mats in tree pose. They lock eyes with each other, and then they burst into song.
Sarah says: ‘I was Becca’s singing teacher and when I started attending her yoga class we realised that our disciplines were about making people feel good. One day, we had the brainwave of combining the two and created our first ‘stretch and sing’ workshop together. ‘You don’t have to be able to read music. Sarah teaches the lines of the harmonies line by line – everything from lullabies and sea shanties to traditional Northumberland folk songs.’A yoga teacher, massage therapist and artist, Becca runs a yoga business, Flow, and is passionate about helping people feel good by connecting to themselves and to nature, not just for one hour a week in a yoga class, but in their everyday lives.
And, a multitude of studies show that being in nature lowers levels of poor mental health, particularly lowering depression and anxiety.‘It’s not just about feeling good for the duration of the class, says Sarah. ‘It’s not just about learning how to sing or hold a yoga pose but rather to help students gain confidence and finding their ‘voice’ in life after the class.’
