Kay King
Teaching since 2014, my classes encompass the traditional Ashtanga primary series, fluid Vinyasa, meditation, and specialised yoga for pregnancy and postnatal care. My training began with Yoga Campus and has since evolved through immersive study with Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Yoga Like Water.
My personal practice has been a steady anchor through many life transitions, including three of my own pregnancies. Because of this, I am a big believer in the power of consistency, returning to the mat time and again to find both surrender and strength.
Beyond the studio, I have been based in North Devon since 2021, where my broader work is dedicated to holding space for others as a Doula, Grief Coach, and a support worker for women affected by the criminal justice system.
Description
There is a reason this traditional practice has survived for decades...it works. Ashtanga is a highly structured, flowing sequence of postures designed to completely realign the body, build functional strength, and quiet the mind.
Think of it as structural conditioning on a yoga mat. We move rhythmically through a specific series of sun salutations, standing postures, and seated folds. It is an active, physical practice, but it is deeply logical. We aren't doing complex acrobatics; we are just using our own body weight to build a highly resilient system.
What to expect:
Rhythm and Breath: We focus heavily on breathing deeply while moving, which completely resets the nervous system.
A Safe Challenge: It is a strong practice, but every single posture can be modified. You just do what your body allows on the day.
A Moving Meditation: Once you memorise the physical sequence, the practice stops feeling like a workout and starts feeling like a moving meditation.
