Q & A with… Denise Marlow

What classes do you teach?
Myofascial Release, Hot Yoga and Yin Yoga.

What’s your passion?
Learning new things/skills. Keeps your mind alert and active.

What is your personal mantra?
Be kind to yourself.

Favourite thing about teaching?
I love teaching yoga, guiding people through moving sequences or the stillness of yin. Watching them have moments of gain, calm, positivity, quiet. Practicing and teaching yoga is a gift which I’m so grateful to have.

How long have you been teaching Yin and who has informed your learning the most?
I have been teaching yin for 15 years. I first practised and studied yin with Simon Low (Yoga Academy) whose knowledge and teaching influenced my own greatly.

What do you eat for breakfast?
I like to eat mid-morning onwards so it really depends on how I’m feeling. But each day at breakfast, after some water, I’ll have a filter coffee then my day begins from there.

Top tip for health
Learn to breathe efficiently, move, make time for rest, stay hydrated and learn what foods work for your body.

Cats or dogs?
Dogs – they’re just wonderful. Although I’ve had three cats over the years and they were adorable.
