Ingrid Palmer

I was introduced to yoga as a teenager and from the first moment I stepped onto my mat I was hooked. I completed my training following two years of study and several years as a class assistant before I taught solo for the first time. I have continued to study, learn and adapt my teachings over the years.

After moving to Horsham back in 1990’s I began teaching here and still love it as much as I did back then. I have taught in schools, colleges and studio’s teaching all ages and abilities and I still get a thrill out of seeing people gain confidence and growth through their practise as well as the joy when people experience yoga for the first time. I am have also been lucky enough to guide pregnant ladies safely through their pregnancy and post natal journeys.

Following a total hip replacement back in 2019 I have a greater understanding and appreciation for how our practice changes through time.

Vinyasa classes are a real joy as they allow me the freedom to experiment with different flows that suit different themes, times of the year and I can really cater for all my class members.

I also love to teach yin yoga, as this is floor based, slow, nourishing and meditative and balances out the physicality of my vinyasa practice.
