Welcome

If you’re looking for a way to improve your mobility, movement confidence and wellness, you’re in the right place!

I’m Carine, founder of Golden Yoga®, a functional approach to yoga to help improve movement confidence and mobility for everyday life.

Rather than working towards an ideal shape, we focus on enhancing function - mobility, balance, coordination and strength. Breathwork (pranayama) and mindfulness are woven into every practice to support nervous system regulation and a greater sense of wellbeing.

Golden Yoga® is more than exercise, it’s also a community and a chance to make new friends.

Classes are offered in two options, chair-based or floor-based, so you can choose the approach that feels right.

My aim is to help you feel stronger, more confident and more mobile, so you can keep doing the things you love for as long as possible.

But don’t just take my word for it… come and experience a class for yourself.

See you soon!

  • "I enjoy Carine's approach to yoga. She is very attuned to making sure the session is working for everyone in the group."

  • “Carine's yoga changes my day! I arrived today feeling mentally worn and 'down' and the initial suggestions to think about my breathing forced me to break away from my mood and focus on somethig I was certainly able to do, namely "breathe". Thereafter I was totally in my body: what I wanted it to do -- not always perrfectly - moving to her rhythm without time for my judgment. Always with her light pleasure and praise to us ALL. We could all do as much as we were able, and be proud. I worked hard. But after the final quiet, self-reflecive time I was completely restored to a sense of calm and the world was a beautiful place again. I felt washed in a kind of peace. Thank you Carine from a grateful Susanne. “ - Susanne
