Farnham Yoga Club

University life can get busy, so we created a space where you can slow down, stretch and breathe. At UCA Farnham Yoga Club, we hold regular sessions with a qualified instructor that are open to everyone. It does not matter if you are a complete beginner or already love yoga; you will always be welcome.

Our sessions are calm, supportive and designed to help you take a break from deadlines and stress. We want this club to feel like a safe space where you can move at your own pace, connect with others and focus on your wellbeing.

From time to time, we plan to bring something a little different to the mat, too, such as kitten yoga with a professional company. It is a fun and uplifting way to enjoy yoga while spending time with playful kittens.

Joining the Yoga Club is a chance to look after yourself, meet new people and find moments of balance in the middle of student life.

We have 28 spots available every week and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

Committee

Group President- Willow Garne

Hi, I’m Willow! I’m a final-year Jewellery & Silversmithing student and the Group President of the UCA Farnham Yoga Club. I’m a physically disabled student, so yoga has been a really great way for me to stay active, move my body and work within my own limits. Outside of yoga and uni, I’m gothic and love all things alternative- especially piercings, tattoos, jewellery and anything a little bit spooky! I’m also really into music, nature and being creative. My special interest is bats! As Group President, I want to make Yoga Club a welcoming, inclusive and judgement-free space where everyone can take part, regardless of their experience or physical ability.

Experience President- Sophia McLemore

Hey y’all, I’m Sophia! I’m a first year Graphic Design student but did foundation last year. I’m the Experience President of UCA Farnham Yoga Club. I’m also an international student from the USA, specifically Tennessee, so you may hear my southern accent a bit. Tennessee has also become a fun nickname of mine since living here! I’ve been a dancer all my life and although that has slowed down for me now, yoga has been a great way for me to stay active and mindful with my health. It’s been a huge benefit for me physically and mentally. It helps clear my mind off a busy day and sets me up for my week! Outside of uni, I love traveling and exploring/trying new things. I love art, dance, fashion, and music! As Experience president, I’m here to organize our club meetings and any events or fundraisers. I’m also here to make Yoga club a fun, safe, and inviting community everyone!

Membership President- Ella Potter

Hi! My name is Ella and I will be your Membership President for Yoga Club this year. I am going into Year 1 studying Photography after completing my foundation last year! Outside of Uni I love fashion, journaling, listening to music, reading about art/photography, painting fun things on my nails and playing video games. I have been super into Yoga for years and I believe its something everyone should try at least once, because anyone can enjoy it and get something out of it - whether that is feeling calm, slowing down at the end of the week, or just enjoying a good stretch. Since joining the Yoga society last year I loved having a safe space and somewhere to begin my week on a positive note, and I hope that we can encourage more people to do the same!
