“The Living Lotus course offered me a framework to develop a confident, personal and regular practice self practice, one based in loving myself, in acceptance. It was a way for me to honour my uniqueness and and sensuality. Witnessing this in other women was also deeply inspiring and re affirming.
The Lotus course offered me a community with other women who were also keen to explore this miraculous but also sometimes difficult and lonely process of releasing all that we are not and no longer wish to be, and have a space to awaken to the wonderful, often surprising and unlimited potential that is within but so often obscured from reach or sight.
i am so very grateful to you Beth for channelling your energy into this course. It’s already having an impact in so many areas of my life. Thank you for your generosity and kindness in doing what you’re doing, and sharing what you find so openly and freely.
Thank for illuminating and reminding me of the power of my womanhood, my intuition and innate wisdom.

““If you want to delve into a yoga practice that offers a direct experience of yoga, then Beth would be my first choice of teacher.
As a yoga teacher myself, I always find ‘I come home’ to my practice through Beths invitations. Beth classes have a considerable depth of knowledge in them, not just in the yogasana practice she offers but also via the skillful inclusion of a variety of other subject of study (dance, yoga philosophy, movement, anatomy, physiology and psychology, to name a few). This knowledge comes through in all her classes and it’s a widening of ones lens as much as a deepening of self enquiry that Beth points me towards curiously and lovingly exploring.
Having practised with Beth for more than a decade, I have found that on every occasion, her offerings have always been on open invitation into to accessing optimal mental, physical and spiritual health. Beth is a unique blessing in my life and an incredible teacher”

“ I signed up to Lotus Living as part of a broader effort to alleviate feelings of anxiety and PTSD following a trauma 2 years prior. Having been to Beth’s classes a few times in the past, I knew it was going to be special. I was always struck by Beth’s incredible insight and creative ways of interpreting yoga, a practice I knew when I practised regularly, brings so much peace.
For many years I struggled to believe I could not be loved and had internalised every negative experience I had. I was relentlessly self-critical and saw myself as somehow inferior in many ways. In effect, I struggled to establish healthy boundary in my relationships with men. Stuck in a pattern of co-dependency, I would put up with behaviour that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, believing that I didn’t deserve better. I struggled to assert myself at work, and felt perpetually like a failure despite having a successful career in a field I am passionate about. Again, I was firmly attached to the narrative that didn’t feel I deserved to be there, it was just a fluke.
Lotus Living was a real game changer. To meet new women with very different life experiences and realise ultimately, how many of us face the very similar problems, and have such similar emotional responses and attachments to which I think many women can universally relate to. During the course, Beth beautifully cultivated a safe space for us to simply be who we are and unpack the difficult emotions that are hard to sit with alone. I gradually learned to connect to my own inner source of power through the lotus physical practices, sensing into my body and learning how to listen and find the innate wisdom of within the female physicality which is available to us all. Through journaling. discussion and asana, I now have tool kit to go deeper into myself without judgement and heal. To do this supported in a group setting has been the most amazing part of the journey.
Through the course of the last few months, I have been able to completely reformulate what I considered to be my deficits into my strengths. I’m a sensitive person, am deeply intuitive, nurturing, empathetic too and now truly value these parts of me. I am subtle in my actions and I am deeply passionate. Lotus Living has helped me to see clearly, embrace my fullness and connect with where my true powers lays. It has aided me in learning to trust myself and enjoy a life of creativity, connection and joy.

“ As a butch (masculine presenting) queer woman, spaces that centre the Feminine do not always feel welcoming, or as if there is no space for my version of womanhood. But from the moment I messaged Beth about the Lotus Living course and shared some of my apprehensions, her warm and sensitive response made me feel immediately welcomed.
At the time I contacted Beth I was looking for a space and practice that combined physical exploration with emotional exploration, and I was struggling to find something in the UK that met my needs, from a more grounded and authentic perspective.
In just a few months, I have already learnt so much from Beth spanning the physical yoga practice, emotional exploration, philosophical and psychological perspectives and beyond. Being part of the Lotus Group has opened me up to exploring paths that I had previously thought weren’t for me, as well as reconnecting me to paths that I had disconnected from over time.
But what I appreciate most is the way in which Beth creates and holds space for us women, as a group and as individuals, encouraging us to show up as we are, guiding us to hold ourselves and eachother with compassion and tenderness.
Beth offers her teachings in a non-prescriptive way, so that you can choose the areas that you want to dive deeper into, moving at a pace of you own, but knowing that her support and guidance has provided you with strong roots from which to grow into your own practice.
