ABOUT ME

Brenda Ward yoga

My Journey with Yoga & Ayurveda

My love affair with Yoga began at 27 in my home city, London. After suffering a serious back injury and spending over two years searching for relief, I finally found hope through Yoga therapy.

A skilled Yoga therapist, Molly, introduced me to a simple back-healing sequence. Practicing it daily, I was amazed to see my back become stronger and more flexible within months. That transformative experience led me to dive deep into the study of Yoga, eventually qualifying as a teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) in 2004.

Originally trained as a Solicitor, I left the legal world to help others the way I had been helped. Since then, I’ve taught students of all ages and abilities, including many dealing with back issues similar to my own.

After trying several different Yoga teachers and classes I found Brenda about 3 years ago and cannot praise her enough. She is exceptionally patient, kind and calm and her classes are so accessible. Through Yoga and Ayurveda Brenda has worked with me to help manage my chronic pain and support my mental well-being. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would encourage anyone thinking of giving Yoga a go or wanting to support their current practice to contact Brenda. She radiates warmth and positive energy and is the most encouraging teacher you could ever want."

Bringing Yoga & Mindfulness to Children

I am passionate about teaching Yoga and mindfulness to children and have worked with two local primary schools, guiding students of all ages. Through this experience, I’ve seen firsthand how simple, age-appropriate mindfulness techniques, conscious breathing, Yoga poses, and guided relaxation can help children:

✔ Relieve stress and anxiety
✔ Cultivate a sense of calm and focus
✔ Develop emotional resilience

School head teachers have shared how these regular weekly sessions provided students with much-needed support and stability, especially during challenging times.
