Louise Windsor (nee Gillespie-Smith) teaches Hatha Flow, Yin Yoga, Breathwork, Yoga 1-1s and is a Life Coach and Reiki Healer. Her yoga journey began over 12 years ago after starting her own business as a life coach, she discovered that yoga philosophy and practice fitted so perfectly with her interest in helping others with self enquiry, development, healing and so much more.
Louise fell in love with Yin Yoga after studying Vipassana, a mindful Buddhist meditation technique, and realised this very slow style of yoga blends the physical practice of yoga perfectly with meditation and self enquiry. Naturally a busy “yang like” person and up until then preferring the stronger practice of flow yoga she learnt that actually she needed the balance of the two. Time to slow down, stop occasionally and just be.
Louise’s Yin teacher is Norman Blair in London and has studied with Sarah Powers, Bernie Clarke and Paul Grilley. Through her teachings of Yin she shares not only yoga philosophy but also about the meridians, mindfulness, chakras and self enquiry.
“It was also great to train with Louise because she was taught by Norman Blair so it feels like she is sharing the knowledge acquired from him. Louise’s knowledge of yin and associated Chinese medicine and meridian lines along with breathing practices is excellent.”

She is passionate about helping people just be themselves, to accept themselves as they are and through yoga experience a deep connection with their true state of being, that is of; peace, love, non duality, joy and inner wisdom. In training other teachers she feels it’s important for them to find their own voice and their own style of teaching so it flows and feels authentic for them.
“Louise is a great teacher, she has a lovely gentle teaching style and is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. I feel that I can now confidently teach a Yin class – I am just sorting out a date for my first class with a studio!! Would definitely recommend the course to others!!”
