My journey with yoga began in October 2022, during a challenging period in my life. After moving out at 21 and experiencing the pressures of a high-stress job, I found myself facing depression for the first time. It was a daunting experience that left me feeling lost and disconnected from my true self.

Desperate for a change, I sought a hobby that could provide an escape from my daily routine. I vividly remember my first yoga class—I was unsure of what I was doing, especially during savasana, but something clicked. From that moment, I was hooked. I attended every class I could around my 9-5 job and even sought one-on-one sessions with the studio owner. My passion grew rapidly.

In March 2023, I left my stressful job in Manchester to find something closer to home. Just three months in, with a pay rise and newfound clarity, I realized it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a yoga teacher. With perfect timing, the funds came together, and I booked my training abroad. That trip in September 2023 marked the beginning of a significant transformation in my life.

Upon returning to my 9-5, I made a bold decision to hand in my notice. For the first time, I felt completely aligned with my choices.

Now, I am a 400-hour registered yoga teacher, sharing my passion at studios across Staffordshire and Cheshire.

I’ve had the privilege of teaching at Leek College for their wellbeing day and freshers' fair.

Based in Staffordshire, England, you can find me on social media as Glow With Chlo, because I believe that yoga truly helps you glow from the inside out.
