I’m Anna, mum of two and the proud founder and owner of Lotus Blue Yoga, Bespoke Massage & Holistic Therapies
If you are wondering who I am and what brought me here, then you are in the right place.
I’m proud to be Cornish born and bred. A tea-addicted, yoga-legging wearing mum to two energetic neurodiverse boys and partner to surfer dude Luke. We can often be found in all weathers trekking for miles across the local beaches along with our spaniel Polly.
Pregnancy and post natal moments in time are so precious. You will find yourself only wanting to share it with those with whom you feel a true sense of trust and connection.
Lotus Blue Yoga was founded in 2014 after completing my Pregnancy Yoga training with Birthlight in London. My dreams became a reality.
It all began in 1996…
My qualifications and experience go back to 1996, along with my patchwork dresses, odd coloured Doc Martins and love of the band Pearl Jam. It was then that I became a highly qualified C.I.D.E.S.C.O Beauty, Holistic and Massage therapist. That is where my passion to help, heal and nurture all began.
Over 20 years of experience..
I have a wealth of experience and expertise to offer. It’s my mission to continually learn and perfect my professional development so that you get the best experience possible. It is important to know you are in safe knowledgeable hands, so the summary below showcases my core qualifications and training.
I’m a Holistic Ayurvedic Therapist meaning “whole body healing” based on the ancient Indian lifestyle philosophy.
I’m fully qualified in Holistic Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Thai Compress Massage and Facials.
A Birthlight and Yoga Alliance Professionals UK qualified & insured Pregnancy, Postnatal Mum and Baby Yoga Teacher.

NVQ 3 and C.I.D.E.S.C.O Beauty, Holistic and Massage Therapy Qualification.
A changing point and realisation…
In 2012 I gave birth to my eldest son. It was during this pregnancy that I discovered the power of Pregnancy Yoga. It dramatically helped and supported me through out my own pregnancy, enabling me to not only stay fit, but to also feel calm, confident and connected to my body and baby.
It wasn’t long after this that I decided to embark on a teacher training course to nurture, support and pass on this knowledge to other mums to be.
Soon after came more teacher training, this time in Postnatal Yoga and Mum and Baby Yoga with a Senior Yoga Alliance Tutor.
This training completed the circle and allowed me to offer continued support and wellbeing to newly pregnant mums to be and mums with babies into the fourth trimester and beyond.
My current offerings:
Pregnancy Yoga Classes
Postnatal Mum and Baby Yoga Classes
Holistic Therapies and Massage available to all.
A lot has changed since my holistic beginnings in 1996- in addition to my taste in clothes- but the one thing that has always remained constant , is my absolute desire to listen, help, heal and nurture in a safe and welcoming space.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
