My name is Lucy and I’m pleased to introduce to you Awaken Within- Yoga, Meditation & Healing Therapies. I am a passionate & dedicated 500hr senior Yoga alliance accredited yoga teacher, based in Whitstable & Herne Bay, Kent. I first completed my initial 250hr yoga teacher training with Doveton Yoga School, London, having worked as an actress for 5 years after graduating from drama school, working in film and theatre.
I have grown this beautiful yoga, meditation & healing therapy sangha in Herne Bay on the East Kent coast where the Thames meets the sea. I had completed my 250hr Yoga teacher training, Y12SR (Yoga for 12 step Recover leader), Jikiden Reiki Healer training and was also a sound healer combining all my offerings to work with my beautiful community.
In 2024, ever the student, I was called to complete further training and deepen my own teaching and practice. I took some time out and followed the path of the ancient sages to Rishikesh, India, the home of yoga, where I completed my pre/post natal yoga teacher training followed by sound healing & sound healing therapy qualifications.
From the foothills of the Himalayas I then visited Kerala, a place I found myself return to and learnt the ways of the Ashtanga yogi under the intense heat of the pre- monsoon sun. Honoring my commitment to the routes of Hatha yoga & itching for more learning, I returned again to Rishikesh later that year to complete my 300hr YTT advanced yoga and meditation studies. Here, I deepened my practice further with traditional & Restorative Hatha Yoga, mantra, meditation, traditional indian dance, philosophy & ayurvedic studies and became the senior yoga teacher I am today.
I am pleased to offer yoga, meditation, sound healing therapy, reiki healing, group soundbaths and my brand new offering, floating soundbaths on water.
I am so very grateful for my travels, further trainings and to take daily practice on the path of my dharma. I am grateful I am immersed in the life long journey of the authentic self, with deepened practice and a renewed perspective on my life, work and soul’s purpose.
I invite you to start something new in your own life. This is your invitation to connect with your source & your sense of self in our yoga, meditation and healing practices together. Join me for yoga, meditation, reiki or sound healing and discover your new practice under my experienced, friendly & supportive guidance.
I am an open-minded and inquisitive yogi, my style is varied & constantly adapting. I consider myself to be the eternal student. I wholeheartedly believe that the key to living in alignment with the authentic self, with true presence and infinite joy, lies with our connection to the breath, to the centre, & the self beyond the layers. I know that it is my passion and calling to facilitate a space for others to align with the path of their truest intentions. My healing journey as a spaceholder, as a yoga teacher, meditation teacher, reiki healer & sound healing therapist is constantly evolving & developing. I invite you to join me as we move through the blockages to find freedom, clarity & infinite joy in life.
For me, Awaken Within represents community, belonging, healing and connection. I am always learning & questioning my own beliefs & ideas, continually inspired by students. I evolve, adapt & develop based on my own practice & the practice of others, together we transform & together we awaken!
Long term, I hope to bring the joy & benefits of yoga, meditation, reiki, sound healing, soundbaths & floating soundbaths to as many as possible. Join me as we raise collective consciousness, connect with the breath (your life force), and discover the joyful sense of wholeness and healing your practice can bring you.
Lets awaken within!
