“Fenella’s years of teaching yoga are apparent in this video series. She is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, the biomechanics of the body and what is needed to prepare athletes for their chosen sport.
These short sport-targeted warm ups can make all the difference in preparing to play as well as being valuable in injury prevention.”

Hello, my name is Fenella Lindsell
I have over 30 years experience teaching yoga ….
I remember only recently I helped a student in class who was in obvious discomfort from lifting kettlebells in her fitness training. When she arrived in class she could barely sit on her mat without wincing. After a 1 hour class, the difference was extraordinary, she simply couldn’t believe how the pain had subsided. She visibly skipped out of the class! The posture work and breathing together combined to release the muscles in spasm and provide her with the confidence to move more freely.
Throughout my life I have played competitive sport, tennis primarily, ladies football together with running, cycling, hiking and yoga of course. I’ve experienced injuries along the way, but learned how to manage them, strengthen areas of weakness and seen positive recovery. Yoga is such a complement to sport and equally very grounding and beneficial for recovery.
