In your local community – Bolsover, Palterton, New Whittington, Inkersall, Cutthorpe

Hi, I’m Fay! I LOVE yoga and mindfulness. All my classes are taught in a practical and accessible way and I believe that no one should be left behind. I’ll encourage you to go at your own pace and ability, always checking in and providing stop points in each pose so that you can either challenge yourself or take a step back depending how you feel on the day.

I don’t believe in silent yoga either, blurting out awful jokes and loving interactions from you too, I want you to have fun (life is serious enough) and join a community where you can be your complete self.

Fat Frog was born from me typing my name “Fat” in emails (the T and the Y are stupidly close together) and being a Frog(gett) by marriage. But it also defines my ethos – yoga is for every body regardless of size, colour, sexuality or superpower.

Keeping it real one yoga class at a time.

Testimonial

Friday morning joy at Fay’s Fat Frog Yoga class. Fay really knows her yoga knowledge. We learn something new and fascinating about yoga all the time. You don’t have to be bendy to join class, you just need to be prepared to learn something new about yourself. Fay makes sure whether you’re a newbie or at a different level you are carefully in the correct pose for your body. Some of the practices include an emphasis on meditation. Classes are therapeutic and most of the time we end in fits of laughter as we aim to take the next position. Most enjoyable and good fun.

Testimonial

I recently started attending Fay’s classes and was captivated by the yoga experience. She creates a welcoming space catering to all levels, offering a harmonious blend of mindfulness and physical well-being.

What sets Fay apart is her ability to provide clear instructions and a soothing atmosphere, making yoga accessible to everyone.

Thank you, Faye, for creating a space where yoga becomes a transformative and enriching experience.

I’d also like to thank you for the refreshing approach to yoga you have, which makes it fun, so people feel less self conscious and able to ask for help and advice on positions, during the class.

Janet – General Yoga

Testimonial

My first taste of a yoga class I found was not enjoyable, this being at a larger sports centre, which I felt was more like a competition, as to who could balance on their head the longest. I love Fay’s yoga sessions. I find them friendly, chilled out and easy to follow.

You go at your own pace, Fay always making sure you’re comfortable in the poses she gives you, and mindful of not putting yourself at risk.

I would definitely recommend Fat Frog Yoga, to anyone wanting to give yoga a go.

Fay does several classes locally including chair yoga.

Testimonial

Fay is professional but very personable and friendly. Her yoga sessions are helping me emotionally (in dealing with the loss of my husband), and physically (as I have sciatica) and as a previous sceptic of yoga, I would definitely recommend Fat Frog Yoga.

[I’ve] found since coming to your yoga class gives me a day off… I feel reattached… so thank you for that… I appreciate that hour more than you know. xx

Testimonial

Fay does a yoga class at our local community centre. I’ll be honest I had never done yoga before but it is something I always wanted to try. Last week was my 2nd class and I absolutely loved it. Fay’s voice and tone totally relaxes me and I thoroughly enjoy what she teaches us in class. Thanks Fay.

Testimonial

Fay manages to make yoga enjoyable and it really doesn’t feel as if you’re exercising at all – at least, not until the next day! Definitely recommend Fay and Fat Frog Yoga.

Sarah – Chair Yoga

Testimonial

A well balanced class, run in a very friendly manner whilst still being professional. Fay has excellent knowledge and an easily understood and relaxed style of teaching. I’m new to exercising and yoga and found the class to be very friendly and not the least bit intimidating.

Would recommend to all levels and ages.

Testimonial

Fay is a yoga expert and a natural teacher with a wealth of knowledge and personal warmth. Being new to yoga (and struggling with balance) I never imagined to be able to do what Fay has already helped me learn and practice. Gentle and kind, friendly and professional, with a lovely sense of fun Fay is the teacher you will look forward to learning with. Come and join Fay’s classes, you won’t regret it.

Vanda – Chair Yoga

Testimonial

It’s my first time back in a yoga class in years and I really enjoyed it. The Bainbridge Hall group were really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and Fay was very happy to offer modification suggestions so that everyone was able to participate within their physical limitations. Will happily be a regular class member from now on!
