Hey everyone!
I’m Roo – a Yoga, Pilates, and Meditation teacher based in Bournville, Birmingham 🙂
I have been teaching yoga, meditation and pilates for 10 years now(!) My passion is helping people find freedom and joy in their lives through safe and sustainable movement and meditation practises.
My aim is to help you to retrain your body and your brain to create better habitual movement patterns that will optimise your energy, reduce pain, relieve tension and stress, and address any imbalances, so that you feel amazing both inside and out. Whether you are looking for an empowering and challenging workout, to soothe your soul, work on mobility, or to strengthen your core, all of my classes and workshops are designed to both brighten your spirit and yet at the same time bring you a sense of calm and balance to your whole system. Come and discover what it’s like to connect deeply with your body – feel more confident, more powerful, and more alive – both on and off the mat. Stand taller, breath deeper, think clearer, and move better for life!
Qualifications: I have done many trainings over the years and am always looking to deepen my own practise both as a teacher and personally. I am a 200hr tantric hatha vinyasa yoga teacher with an additional 100hr foundation in spiritual hatha yoga and meditation. I am also a level 3 Pilates mat work instructor. Over the years, I have enriched my teaching skills by becoming a family and kids yoga teacher, and also a partner yoga teacher. I am also currently training in sports massage – on track for completion April 2025 – watch this space! 😀
Experience: I have taught thousands of classes over the years, having the privilege of helping tens of thousands of individuals to feel more empowered and more connected with themselves. I am experienced in guiding students of all abilities – from beginners right up to advanced practitioners – regularly enjoying the company of other yoga teachers and fitness instructors who come to my classes to train with me themselves. I have taught in a huge variety of settings, from public classes in the community, studios and gyms, to private one-to-one personal training sessions in the privacy of clients homes. I have had the privilege of working alongside coaches and physios at the University of Birmingham to provide training for sports teams and athletes, and have experience running lunchtime corporate wellbeing classes for various businesses including DAC Beechcroft and Colmore Business District. I have run numerous sell-out partner and beginners acro-yoga workshops over the years, organised and run weekend retreats, and also teamed up with artists and teachers from different disciplines to host super-fun and high-energy yoga and dance workshops for kids and families.
At home, along with my partner, I have 2 young kids (3 and 5!) who are teaching me how to be curious, playful, and patient(!) every single day… I love to grow vegetables, sail dinghies, sing, and be by the sea. To me, when I’m not doing yoga or strengthening my meditation practise, there is no better day than one spent adventuring in the woods or on the ocean, sleeping in tents under the stars, gazing at mountains, and laughing around a campfire with friends – preferably with a big ol’ mug of (vegan) hot chocolate and some live music to go!
If you are interested in working with me, or have any questions, I’d love to hear from you. Email me: r.frith@outlook.com
Together, let’s be uplifted- for a more beautiful, more peaceful, and more joy filled world.
Always teaching from a place of respect and compassion for all.
