As a kid, I was a gymnast, drawn to the joy of mastering skills and the friendships I formed. Though if I'm honest, I never really loved the competitive aspect.  What I did take from that experience was a strong understanding of how the body works, which eventually led to my first job as a gymnastics coach!   In my early twenties, while travelling in Nepal, I tried yoga for the first time during a retreat. It was a completely new way of connecting with myself, it was fun, and so varied and from then I was captivated. Over the next 10 years, I explored various styles of yoga, predominantly vinyasa and flowing styles to begin with and sinking into slower and deeper styles over time.    ### My Training After years of deepening my practice, I decided to take the leap and become a teacher, completing my training at Sussex Yoga Training. I was drawn to their non-lineage approach to yoga teacher training, instead we studied the history and philosophy of yoga, anatomy and physiology and of course the benefits and how to teach asana's.    #### Specialising in pregnancy & postnatal During my own pregnancy and post-natal journey, I was curious about what my body could do, but I found there was often too much focus on limitations rather than potential. This led me to further specialise in pregnancy and post-natal yoga, completing my training with Sally Parkes Yoga School. I am passionate about supporting women through this transformative stage of life, helping them embrace their strength and connect with their bodies in a positive way. Today, I teach a mixture of flowing, restorative, and tailored pregnancy and post-natal classes, helping students find a practice that meets their needs, wherever they are in life.   ### My Approach Yoga isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a practice that evolves with you, day by day, phase by phase. I believe yoga helps you find calm, explore what your body is capable of, and adapt to what you need in the moment.   I look forward to sharing this practice with you!   ##### Kaela ![Shape Image One](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/video-shape-1.png) ![Shape Image two](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/video-shape-2.png) ![Shape Image One](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/video-shape-3.png) [![Kaela Thomson Yoga](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kaela%20Thomson%20Yoga%20Logo_light%20transparent.png?width=250&height=250&name=Kaela%20Thomson%20Yoga%20Logo_light%20transparent.png "Kaela Thomson Yoga")](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/?hsLang=en) Find the calm within the storm - kaelathomsonyoga@gmail.com ### About - [About Kaela](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/about-me) ### Explore - [Pregnancy & Postnatal Classes](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/pregnancy-postnatal-yoga-classes) - [Pregnancy Yoga Class Details](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/pregnancy-yoga) - [Class Timetable](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/yoga-classes) ### Support - [Contact Me](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/contact-me) - [Book a class](https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/payments/purchase/hscs_eu_el9LR35azDgahKgKc5uP6C8xcdHF35rnlX5v2mwzPoeWhwylTlIaA6WU2ekHZ9OD?referrer=PAYMENT_LINK) ![Shape Image One](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/footer-shape-1.png) ![Shape Image two](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/footer-shape-2.png) ![Shape Image three](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/footer-shape-3.png) ![Shape Image four](https://kaelathomsonyoga.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/shape/footer-shape-4.png) (c) 2026 All Rights Reserved. - [mailto:kaelathomsonyoga@gmail.com](mailto:kaelathomsonyoga@gmail.com) -
