Louise Handy
Co-Founder of Space to Move
Louise has combined her love of the sciences and the arts all her life, and shares both her extensive knowledge of the life/health sciences and her joy in moving and performing in all she does.
Having danced from age 2 onwards, practicing yoga became a significant part of her life over the years, and as a life-long learner she enjoys diving ever deeper into the spiritual, emotional and mental elements of yoga as well as the physical aspects.
​
Louise discovered early on how being absorbed in movement helps to switch off from daily concerns, and continues to see what a difference "keeping moving" makes to our health and well-being. As an experienced business woman, establishing Space to Move with Jules was a way to help share this important, but simple, ethos to every body.
​
Her 200hr teacher Yoga Alliance training included not only a solid physical/anatomical foundation but also meditation and philosophical aspects of yoga, which Louise enjoys gently incorporating into classes. Louise is a registered RYT® 200 Yoga Alliance teacher, and has completed additional accredited certifications in Yoga for Every Body (i.e. those with particular medical conditions or special considerations), in Yoga Nidra, and in Yin Yoga.
​
As well as co-owning and managing Space To Move, Louise teaches Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Beginners Yoga courses, Improvers Yoga courses, Yin & Nidra workshops and Yin classes at Space to Move. She also teaches regular classes in Calstock, Cornwall, as well as at retreats, festivals and events.
