Hi, I’m Chrissie: still a tall, Geordie, yogi mum and the proud founder of Yoga Social Club. I wasn’t born flexible – my teenage years were more about restless energy than reaching for my toes! Yoga actually found me during a fertility journey. Something shifted; I craved how movement felt, the calming breath, and my anxiety quietened.

Why the overshare? Because I remember feeling ‘not enough’ – not flexible, not relaxed, even the fear of a mid-class parp (yep!). As an adult in a new place, I also longed for connection. Since leaving family and friends, I truly saw the power of community. That's the heart of Yoga Social Club: an inclusive, safe space where you come first, leaving you feeling peaceful and genuinely connected. It’s about bringing people together through yoga to stretch, breathe, and smile.

Fast forward to today: Yoga Social Club has blossomed from a personal passion into the UK's fastest-growing yoga community, now with 14 vibrant locations nationwide. In Manchester, we host the city's biggest and most immersive wellness events, from 120-person string quartet yoga to intimate retreats and collaborations with local businesses. We're dedicated to enriching communities, helping adults make real friends, and ensuring wellness is truly accessible for busy lives.

We also empower businesses to cultivate strong, meaningful wellness offerings their staff genuinely want. Whether weekly yoga for MAG and Sharp Project, or impactful events for L'Oréal, Treehouse Hotels, or San Carlo, we tailor programmes to put establishments firmly on the map for wellness.

Beyond leading Yoga Social Club's rapid growth, I'm a passionate speaker, sharing my inspiring story and facilitating meaningful workshops. I help build cohesive teams and foster supportive approaches to wellness within organisations.

We're based in Manchester, England, and always happy to connect. If you're a passionate yoga teacher looking to grow a thriving yoga community fast, with clear strategy and support, we'd love you to start a Yoga Social Club too!
