# Blossom Yoga

> Unhurried yoga. Real teaching. Paced for real bodies.

## About

Blossom Yoga is run by Ania Chard, a yoga teacher and therapist who has been
teaching in Norfolk since 2014. Classes are small, carefully held, and adapted
to the people in the room: beginners, those returning after injury, people
navigating menopause, and long-term practitioners alike. Ania trained in
classical Hatha Yoga in India, Thailand and Mexico and holds additional
qualifications in Craniosacral Therapy, Clinical Massage, Sports Massage and
Lomi Lomi Nui.
