Amy’s story

“It’s Always There – And It Always Meets You Where You Are”

Amy, 30s, mother, realist, lifelong learner

“I first came to yoga when I was 18 with my mum at a leisure centre in the North East. I dipped in and out of it for years, then found pregnancy yoga – and that was a game changer. I started to notice how much it helped me during pregnancy and birth. After that, it became a kind of reclaiming. Reclaiming my body, my time, my sense of self.”

Since then, yoga has become a steady presence — something she returns to again and again.

“It’s like a thread. It runs alongside whatever stage you’re at. It meets you where you are – whether it’s been the most joyful week or the most chaotic. That consistency, even when everything else is shifting, is what keeps me coming back.”

Making it Work in Real Life

Fitting yoga into a full life — work, parenting, everything else — isn’t always straightforward. But Amy has come to see it not as something extra, but as something essential.

“I’ve learned to recognise the return on that hour. It gives me clarity, calm, energy — even on the days I don’t feel like going. Especially on those days.”

It’s not about being perfect or ticking boxes. “Some weeks I can do more, some weeks less. But even one class can reset the week. It brings me back to myself.”

Why Mula?

Amy first came to Mula through a taster class — and immediately felt the difference.

“It just felt calm. Safe. Like everything had been thought about. You don’t have to worry about your mat or your shoes or where to stand. You can just arrive.”

But more than the space, it was the culture that resonated.

“There’s no pressure to perform. No one’s watching you. You’re seen for who you are — not for how well you can do a pose. And there’s such variety — whether I need stillness or challenge, there’s a class that meets me there.”

Overcoming the Barriers

Amy says yoga isn’t something you have to get right — it’s something you keep returning to.

Letting go of perfection – “It doesn’t have to be three classes a week. One is enough. Turning up is enough.”
Tuning in – “I’ve learned to choose what I need, not what I think I should do. Sometimes that’s power, sometimes it’s rest.”
Making it routine – “It’s become part of my rhythm. And even when the week is messy, I know it’s something I can return to.”

Her Invitation to Others

If you’re thinking about yoga but unsure whether it’s “for you,” Amy says:

“Just try it. Mula is boss. It’s a gorgeous space, the teachers are amazing, and there really is something for everyone. You don’t need to look a certain way or be at a certain level. Just come as you are — you’ll be welcomed exactly as that.”
