Hi, I'm Nam Harrison
Qualifications: 200hr YTT (2011), Pregnancy Yoga (2022), pre-natal Yoga (2015)
I teach Yoga in Solihull, West Midlands, and through my Online Studio.
My Yoga journey began when I was going through a difficult time in my life and I needed something that was just for me, that wasn't controlled. What started as a way to find a little more balance and strength in my own life gradually became a passion, and eventually a career that I've been able to share with others for over 14 years.
I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2011 with Dr Elena Voyce at Teach Yoga in London and have continued learning ever since, including specialist training in Pregnancy Yoga with Jessica Flemming and Postnatal Yoga with Yoga Mama. My love of Yoga has also taken me further afield, with opportunities to study and practise in Thailand, Ibiza, Belgium and Amsterdam. All those experiences continue to influence my teaching today.
Over the years, I've taught group classes, private sessions, retreats and wellness events. Oh, and a Hen-do! I have worked alongside brands including Adidas, Lounge Underwear, Fearne Cotton's Happy Place and Binky Felstead's Mummy Tribe Retreat. While I'm incredibly grateful for those opportunities, my favourite place to teach will always be in a room full of everyday people showing up for themselves.
My teaching style combines Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. I'm known to be quirky and to lead strong yet soft classes. One of the biggest lessons I've learnt teaching Yoga is that everybody is different, inside and out. That's why we should celebrate individuality and not force ourselves into postures that don't suit us. Every class I teach, I make sure I offer variations so we can all practice together but adapt things to suit our own personal needs.
When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me dancing, painting, pottering around in the garden, walking my dog Luna, spending time with my family and friends.
Thanks for taking time to read a bit about me and what I do. I hope to meet you on the mat sometime soon or if you are far away, join my online community over on my Patreon and say hi.

Here’s my official bio if you want a third person paragraph for press purposes:
