Therapeutic Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that can be done while sitting. Some poses can also be done standing using a chair for support. We will practice pranayama - breathing techniques, balancing and strengthening postures, and meditation. Chair yoga can improve flexibility, concentration and strength, while boosting your mood, and reducing stress and joint strain.

Welcome to Lindsey Howell Yoga
I've been practising Yoga for a very long time. My first experience was when I was 12 years old and a class was being held in our local sports centre. This was in Aberdare in the 70's so quite an exotic happening. Even then I was struck at how holistically healing the practice could be, and have been a dedicated follower since.
My journey into teaching started in London at the Laban Centre where I studied Contemporary Dance, specialising in movement therapy. My interest in Yoga naturally ran along side my dance practice. Eventually I trained with the British Wheel of Yoga and am now a fully qualified Level 4 Yoga Teacher with 500 hours of training.
I have also had the privilege of working with the amazing Julie Friedeberger; specialist in yoga for people living with cancer. I now teach yoga for people living with Cancer, in Pembrokeshire and online. You can find more details on this practice and the benefits it can have, here.
Locally and online I teach Hatha, Yin and Therapeutic Chair Yoga. My experience in Yin yoga has been guided by the talented and knowledgeable Yin Guru (and disco dancer) Norman Blair.
I am part of the breathing school network, with the guidance of Ben Wolff, and teach breath practice.
I am also a member of 'The Pelvic Health Professionals' using Yoga for pelvic health.
I am currently teaching classes, workshops and one to one sessions in Pembrokeshire and online.
