Giving Back Together
Living our yoga off the mat
Many parts of yoga don’t happen on a mat or in a studio.
They happen when we look out for one another, when we give, share, and care in ways that feel real and human. For me, this is Bhakti in everyday life: showing up with love and action, not just words.
At Pause Yoga, we quietly support a few people and projects that matter projects that reflect our values of dignity, inclusion, and community care. Just things that feel aligned with who we are, a group of thoughtful humans trying to live with a little more awareness and heart.
Here’s what we’re supporting right now.
Through Lincs2Nepal, our yoga community has sponsored Bishika, a young girl in Nepal helping to fund her education and essentials. It's a small act of solidarity with long-term impact, we started in 2023 and plan to see her right through until she finishes school.
Yoga is a journey and we’re walking beside her, too.
We’ve twinned the Pause Yoga studio toilet with a latrine in Nepal through Toilet Twinning, supporting clean water and safe sanitation. These basic things transform lives, especially for girls and women.
🪧 Look out for our certificate in the bathroom!
Rebecca volunteers as an occasional packer and delivery driver with Every Month, a grassroots group providing free menstrual care packs to those experiencing period poverty.
🩸Want to help pack or donate? Let Rebecca know, it's informal, inclusive, and always needed.

A few times each year, I offer free yoga sessions for those who spend their time supporting others, whether you’re a carer, volunteer, or working in a helping profession and live or work in our area.
These sessions are a small thank-you and a chance to be nourished yourself.
If you’d like to hear about the next ‘Caring for the Carers’ class, you’re warmly invited to join the mailing list or get in touch to be added.
During the darker months, it’s easy to stay indoors — but movement, fresh air and connection can make all the difference.
Winter Walking Wednesdays are free, community-paced walks designed to boost wellbeing, warmth, and connection. We walk briskly for an hour to get the heart beating and a smile on your face.
📍 Meet: Glossop Cricket Club car park
🕡 Time: Wednesdays at 6:30pm
🚶🏽♀️ Pace: Brisk but chatty – all welcome
No need to book — just turn up with comfy shoes, maybe a torch or headlamp, and layers.
In the warmer months, we head out for informal, friendly, and supportive outdoor swims in local spots. It's about connection, courage, and the simple joy of being in nature.
No pressure, no pace, just fresh air, cold water, and good company.

This Is Yoga
These small acts of care, whether it's the free yoga we offer for volunteers and carers in our Glossop area, sponsoring a girl’s education, twinning a loo, or baking a lemon drizzle, are yoga. They help us root our practice in something wider than ourselves.
If you have a cause close to your heart or an idea for something local, feel free to share it, this space is shaped by us all.
