About Tamsin:
Tamsin (she/they) is a yoga teacher based in Manchester that offers inclusive classes for the LGBTQ+ community. Alongside working in local domestic abuse services, Tamsin decided to take the leap into becoming a yoga teacher, hoping to make yoga and wellness available to all.
Tamsin says:
"I believe that yoga should be accessible to everybody and as a queer person of colour I understand the feeling of being othered in yoga/wellness/spiritual spaces. So, I decided to become a yoga teacher with the aim of making yoga more accessible to communities that would not normally enter a yoga studio due to the cis/heteronormative nature of the western wellness world. Yoga has provided me with a great amount of healing and I hope to share this with others that may also benefit from the practice. Our community deserves to have a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment where we can allow ourselves to be vulnerable and explore this life changing practice! I would also love to see more sober queer events and spaces focused around improving our wellbeing!"
Tamsin holds a trauma-informed, body-inclusive approach to all of her classes, aiming to make each class as safe and supportive as possible.
