join us on 5th December
Food has always been a big part of life at Lime House Yoga. In the early days, workshops were as much about what happened around the table afterwards as what happened on the mat. Emma’s cooking became something of a Lime House institution, and for a while there seemed to be more photographs of the food than of anyone actually practising yoga.
Over the years, we’ve shared countless meals, welcomed visiting teachers into the kitchen (even Manju Jois has cooked here), and enjoyed the conversations and friendships that happen when people sit down to eat together.
This year marks 16 years of Lime House Yoga, and five years in our current studio. It feels like a good moment to bring a little of that tradition back.
Join Jock on Saturday 5th December for a free hour of yoga from 5–6pm, followed by an informal shared supper. We’d love everyone to bring along a dish – perhaps an old family favourite, something you love making, or something that holds a little significance for you. Homemade or otherwise, sweet or savoury, all contributions are welcome.
We’ll put everything together and share a meal, some stories and, hopefully, a little of the spirit that has made Lime House what it is over the years.
Come for the practice, stay for the food.
The yoga class is free, but spaces are limited so please book your place so we know how many people to expect.
If you’re joining us for supper, we’d love you to bring a dish to share. Please let us know what you’re bringing and whether it contains any common allergens – you can fill this out upon making your class booking.
Saturday 5th December
5–6pm: Free Yoga Class with Jock From 6pm: Shared supper and good company

BOOK NOW
Husband and wife Jock and Emma, started Lime House Yoga from a small room built on the back of their house in 2011 where they spent ten years building a community of like-minded people. After each class, students would congregate in their kitchen for fresh chai. Lifelong friendships were forged in that space.
They couldn’t have known then that they would outgrow that space and need to build a larger bespoke studio. But during the first lockdown in 2019 that is exactly what happened. The new studio which you now practise in, is situated on the site of their old stable block. They landscaped the gardens with a combination of wildflowers and more formal planting, highlighting the views down through the valley towards Holywell Bay. We think you’ll agree it’s quite possibly one of the most beautiful yoga studios you could imagine.
Jock, Emma and the wider Lime House team believe in what they do, and believe that what they do can change the world we live in. Cornwall is a beautiful place, and we all feel blessed to live here, so minimising Lime House’s impact on the natural environment and making ethical choices about how they do business of high importance.
Join us to celebrate 16 years of Lime House Yoga with a free class led by Jock, followed by a shared supper. Bring along a favourite dish, a family recipe or something meaningful to you, and enjoy an evening of good food, conversation and community. Yoga starting promptly at 5–6pm, with food and merriment afterwards. We hope you can join us! Spaces limited so book your free spot today. Please do bring along a list of ingredients alongside your dish so we can inform those with allergies/intolerances.
Food has always been part of the Lime House story. In our original studio, workshops often ended with everyone gathering around the table to enjoy Emma’s wonderful cooking, and over the years we seem to have accumulated considerably more photographs of food than of people practising yoga. Even Manju Jois has spent time cooking in the Lime House kitchen!
Here are a few memories from those years – shared meals, visiting teachers, familiar faces and some particularly good food. A little reminder that some of the best moments at Lime House have happened off the mat.

It is said that we all come to healing in our own time and this was true for me when in 2000, I fell down a mountain snowboarding, breaking my back in four places and shattering my collarbone. After numerous unsuccessful operations, I decided to take matters into my own hands so that I might stand a chance of being mobile by the time I hit forty.
I began a regular yoga practice and as the ancient saying goes, ‘When the student is ready the teacher will appear.’ I moved back to Cornwall at the same time as Bridget Woods-Kramer, a world renowned Anusara teacher. I did my first two teacher trainings with no intention of ever teaching yoga, I just wanted to further my knowledge for my own practice. It was Bridget who dropped the bombshell on me that she needed cover for a Saturday class that forced me into teaching my first class. I was completely terrified………but I loved it!
I spent six years studying and teaching with Bridget and have developed a style that is physically challenging with attention to posture and alignment and above all, playful. My experience has taught me to cherish the physical practice of yoga, but it is the connection between mind, body and soul that inspires my practice. Over the last decade, my personal practice has moved towards Ashtanga and I have undertaken Ashtanga teacher trainings with David Swenson, Manju Jois and John Scott.
I have been teaching for 20 years and over this time I feel deeply privileged to have been taught by some of the worlds best teachers from a range of different schools of yoga, including Richard Freeman, David Williams, Sianna Shermann, Rod Stryker, Doug Keller, Bruce Bowditch, John Friend, Nancy Gilgoff, and Doug Swenson. In my classes I call upon the teachings of all of my teachers to best serve my own students, with a blend of the styles, techniques and adjustments I’ve learnt along my yoga journey. I am also co-founder and director of Lime House Yoga with my partner Emma and a dad to two wonderful children who constantly inspire and challenge me to be more present in the world and on my mat.

My passion for food began early when mum insisted that each of her three children learn a dish and cook once a week as a way of contributing to the running of our home. I loved the process of taking great ingredients and turning them into something delicious and even more, the pleasure of sharing food with others. I can still remember the excitement of cooking my first recipe from memory. In my early teens I took over cooking for the whole family, teaching myself from a well-worn copy of the Cranks recipe book. Cooking and sharing food with people I love is one of my greatest pleasures.
My yoga journey began in 2002 with an Iyengar class, which gave me a wonderful grounding in good posture and a focus on safe alignment. In the intervening years I have discovered as much benefit from yoga for my mental wellbeing especially during periods of extreme stress, as for my physical health. I happily remain a yoga student, relishing this one space in my week where I can be solely focused on my practice and calm my mind. In co-creating Lime House Yoga, I have been able to combine my love of yoga with my love of growing, cooking and eating delicious, healthy food and sharing it with likeminded people. I manage the studio and cater for our workshops and retreats.
Alongside Lime House Yoga, I run my own management consultancy company working with the NHS, local government and voluntary organisations to improve the delivery of care services across the South West region. I am the co-founder and director of Lime House Yoga and The Retreat, a qualified coach, trustee of Volunteer Cornwall one of our local Cornish Charities and am setting up a community woodland social enterprise in West Cornwall.
