My aim is to provide a tailored yoga experience for each client. For your comfort during our time together please wear loose or stretchy clothes (a top layer is great to allow you something to remove as you build up heat during practice), and bring something warm for the meditation at the end. If you can bring your own mat that would be preferable, although I can provide one if need be. I can also provide yoga blocks, as these can be sterilised between clients but if you have your own please bring it along, can I ask that you bring your own yoga strap (a dressing gown belt can make a handy alternative). I must ask that you wear a face covering when you arrive for your 1 to 1, while on your mat you are welcome to remove the covering but it must be replaced if you leave the mat for any reason, and at the end of the session. Please make sure you arrive well hydrated and have not eaten for at least 2 hours, preferably longer.
During our hour together we can work on whatever aspect of your practice you wish.
If you are completely new to yoga you may wish to learn some basic postures in a relaxed, private environment
If you already have an established practice we can look at any poses which might be causing you problems
Perhaps you would like to learn, or advance, your Ashtanga practice
Vinyasa flow style could be more your preference, in which case I can create a sequence based on the seasonal elements, balancing chakras, enhancing feelings of relaxation, strengthening or targeting specific body areas of your choice.
You may have specific health or medical needs, making you a little nervous about attending a regular class. I can explain which poses you should not do, which ones you will need to modify for your safety, and assist you in discovering which poses will be the most beneficial for you. Together, and at your own pace, we can safely explore what your body is capable of, allowing you to enjoy all the wonderful benefits of a regular yoga practice. You may wish to develop a Pranayama (control of the breath) practice, or advance your existing practice by learning some new breathing techniques to relax the body and calm the mind, or enhance the concentration and clarity of thought.
Meditation, perfect contemplation; at the end of each hour we will finish with some meditation time. You decide how long you would like to spend in meditation and whether you would like silence or would prefer to be guided through the process.
To sum up – this is YOUR time, centred on you and your specific needs.

I have personally practiced yoga for over 20 years, and in 2018 I was lucky enough to be approached by one of my yoga teachers who asked if I would be interested in doing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course. The lady in question is a superb teacher and a personal favourite of mine, so for my own personal development, I signed up. During the course I discovered a real sense of joy in the act of teaching, helping to guide people on the amazing journey which is yoga. From here the idea of integrating yoga into Fresh Faces was born. As part of the salon renovation and rebranding, as ‘Fresh Faces Beauty & Wellbeing by Susan Hall’. In 2019/20, Jim and I created a space to be used purely for Yoga. The yoga studio is the most peaceful, tranquil and amazing space to escape from the outside world and have some time, just for yourself.
While I was doing my teacher training my friend and I were holding a weekly class for friends and family, when it was coming towards the end of my training, I realised just how much I was going to miss it. I love working on a ‘one to one’ basis, I have personally experienced just how much your practice will improve from this style of teaching. However, being in a class environment can be such a nurturing experience, full of positive energy and mutual support, which can also be very beneficial to your practice. Each week I would come up with a different Vinyasa Flow for the class, and I found I was still creating them for myself, so why not share them.
