Welcome to Spirit of Yew

I’m Freya, currently living with my partner Ben in South Devon. For many years I have been drawn to nature’s rhythms & cycles. In today’s modern world we have become disconnected from these; we no longer live in harmony with the seasons & we have forgotten the wisdom they bring.

Our ancestors would find solace & wisdom at every point in the year; Spring brings new life & hope, Summer brings an abundant & plentiful harvest, Autumn brings nutrients to the soil as the leaves return to earth, Winter offers us time to hibernate & rest. We are in a never-ending cycle of death & rebirth. Constantly transforming.

Over the past 8 years, yoga has brought me so much healing & joy, but ultimately, it has brought me closer to my true nature. I see our human spirit and the spirit of nature as one and the same; we are inextricably connected.

With a passion to share the powerful practice of Yoga with others, I started my 500-hour teacher training with the Devon School of Yoga in 2023. I have also completed a Holistic Life Coaching and Mind-Body Practitioner Diploma, and a Women’s Circle training with the wonderful Anoushka Florence (@thegoddessspace).

It is my intention to weave together Eastern practice & philosophy with the rhythms & cycles of nature. The Yew tree has long been a symbol of transformation and rebirth; the essence of life. So I hope that my offerings support you in coming home to your spirit and the spirit of nature, and hopefully together we can reconnect to the old ways of harmony & wholeness.
