The Big Love Membership

(your at-home wellness studio!)

Join our online community and practice body-mindful movement, yoga and mindfulness from the comfort of your home with Becki Marie of Big Love Movement

Our online community is both a live and on-demand wellness space for spiritually curious people who want to practice yoga and mindfulness with confidence from the comfort of home.

Do you like the idea of yoga but don’t know where to start, or what to do next?

Do you feel self-conscious in a physical yoga studio and would prefer to practice online?

Are you feeling unmotivated and struggling to stick to a regular yoga practice?

Would you like to feel more confident in your body, improve your mobility and gain more strength?

Are you short on time, or struggling to find a yoga studio local and convenient for you to practice in?

How much does it cost to join the Big Love Yoga Community?

The Big Love Yoga Community is a personal online yoga studio where you can choose to pay-as-you go or start a subscription. 

You can start your monthly subscription from £11 per month, including mindful bonuses to deepen your self-care!

You have the freedom to choose when you would like to practice yoga each week as shown by the pricing below.

As you find your rhythm and establish a routine with your yoga practice you can create or change your subscription anytime, with ease.

This is your body, your practice!

There are weekly yoga and mindfulness classes online, Monday to Friday, with the freedom to choose when you want to attend, plus invites to monthly bonus sessions...

My sessions welcome beginners curious to explore yoga and those who are more familiar to the practice who are looking for a way to integrate mindfulness into their routine and develop a habit that will support their everyday wellbeing. 

I personally guide you through each movement and breath sequence ensuring I am aware of how every individual is feeling so I can offer modifications when you need them. 

You are free to take the version of a pose that feels right in your body, and you have the choice to challenge yourself in a pose or to ease off at anytime. No one is watching, only me. I observe as I practice with you so I can adapt my verbal and visual instructions to support you as best I can.

Are you adding an hour or more onto your yoga time by travelling to and from a studio because there isn’t something more convenient for you?

Gain back time and cherish an hour of you of ‘you-time’ even more by waving goodbye to the commute to the studio, you don’t need to go anywhere, there’s no need to travel, or worry about the journey home, and you can be anywhere in the world if the time’s right. 

Taking the time and creating the space to practice yoga at home invites you to view your environment differently. 

By bringing in extra comfort and props to support you or keep you warm are always encouraged and little extras such as incense, candles and some gentle music, like a Big Love playlist, can make your experience even more personal and relaxing.

I offer a private one-to-one session to everyone in the membership community. 

I believe it is important we get to know each other personally and I want you to feel safe and supported when practising yoga online. This is an opportunity to receive one-on-one guidance from me for your yoga practice, and a chance to ask any questions you may have.

Do you experience discomfort in your body and want a personal approach to your yoga practice where you can adapt confidently to suit your needs?

The intention of every session in the Big Love Yoga Community is to help to release physical, mental and emotional tension in your body which we are often unaware we are holding onto. The nature of the sessions can be deeply soothing as we combine movement with breathing in a conscious way to ease muscles and your mind. Breathing techniques are shared to stimulate and invigorate, or to calm and relax your body, leaving you feeling rested and rejuvenated after an hour of guilt-free self-care! 

Every session encompasses mindset, breath and movement; mindset practices include the invitation for self-enquiry through meditation or journaling, setting intentions and affirmations, Yoga Nidra and guided relaxation techniques. Breath sequences help to rebalance the nervous system and combined with mindful movement the sessions focus on developing compassionate self-awareness and an appreciation for the constant state of change we are all experiencing both externally and internally in our bodies. 

Are you unsure of practising yoga online because you like to interact with other people, or the teacher, to learn how to adapt and develop your practice?

When you join the Big Love Yoga Community even though everyone is online, no one is a stranger for long. Although everyone is practising in the privacy and comfort of their own homes there is time to connect to one another before the session as you settle into your surroundings. 

I take pride in taking the time to get to know everyone in the community, personally. I like to understand your intentions for your practice and ensure I am aware of any additional guidance you may find supportive during our sessions. 

Hi, I am Becki Marie...

FAQ'S

1. WHAT IF I HAVE NEVER TRIED YOGA BEFORE? I’ll be honest, neither had 50% of The Big Love Yoga Community before they started! The Big Love Yoga Community is possibly the best place to give yoga a go for the first time because you can be at home in your personal space without other people around you. You’ll be less distracted and you won’t be tempted to compare yourself to others. Walking into a yoga studio can be daunting however, being online you don’t have that worry. Everyone who joins the BLYC is offered a 1-1 session online with me so we can get to know one another and for you to receive personal guidance so you can begin your practice feeling supported and confident on your mat. You and everyone else in the class will be on mute once I start teaching so you will have complete privacy, it will almost be like it’s just me and you in your room! 

2. WHAT IF I DON’T THINK I’M BENDY ENOUGH OR STRONG ENOUGH TO DO YOGA? Yoga first and foremost is a mindful practice that calms your entire nervous system, all the other physical effects are a bonus therefore all you need is a body that will be comfortable practising yoga lying down, standing or seated. You don’t need to be bendy to do yoga however practising yoga will probably make you feel more flexible. The sessions I teach are about developing your self-awareness, mobility, strength and self-confidence. It all starts with self-awareness and learning to listen to your body. I will be guiding you through various options of a pose or movement so you can choose how to move your body and explore what feels right for you that day. 

3. WHAT CLASSES DO YOU TEACH IN THE BIG LOVE YOGA COMMUNITY? Great question! In the morning we have ‘Rise + Vibe,’ an uplifting vinyasa yoga flow to awaken your whole body with an element of playfulness to start your day feeling good! The morning sessions are a blend of movements and poses to build strength and stability within your body. You’ll explore playful movements with energising breath-work to shift stagnant energy and help focus your mind ready for your day. In the evenings we have ‘Recharge + Revive’ to help you slow things down at the end of your day. This session helps you transition from your day into your evening by combining a gentle and slower vinyasa flow with restorative yoga poses to stretch out your body and unravel your body-mind. This session is about learning to ground yourself, exploring calming breath-work and more mindful movement to release tension and increase your mobility. 

4. WHAT STYLE OF YOGA IS TAUGHT IN THE BIG LOVE YOGA COMMUNITY? Mainly Vinyasa and restorative. Both terms are very loose in their meaning. A Vinyasa is a series of poses put together in a special way to create a smooth transition as you move between each of the poses (asanas). Vinyasa yoga can be taught slow or at a faster more energetic pace creating a more dynamic practice. When practising forms of Vinyasa yoga each movement is paired with the breath helping to calm and focus your mind even more. The style of Vinyasa yoga I teach can be slower at times to invite you to be more mindful as you move, developing self-awareness and building your strength and mobility. You will never feel the need to rush to keep up in The Big Love Yoga Community. The vinyasa I teach is specially created to tone and strengthen your body whilst calming your nervous system and helping to develop focus, self-awareness and confidence. 

5. HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED? Not much to be honest. Unlike other movement practices you are relatively ‘confined’ yo your mat. You move along the length of the mat, you may need some additional room at the sides of your mat but yoga doesn’t require a great deal of space! The size of the average yoga mat is 24 inches wide (60.96 cm) and 68 to 72 inches long (172.72 cm to 182.88 cm). This the mat size people feel most comfortable practicing on. When you consider where you are going to practice yoga, add a little extra width to allow for you arms to be extended at your sides but otherwise, this is the amount of space you will need! Another fun way is to lie on the floor and imagine making a snow angel, trust me this is a good way to figure out if you have enough space to do yoga! 

6. WHAT DEVICE DO I NEED TO USE? You can use whatever device you would normally use to view videos or access meetings online; your phone, an iPad or tablet, laptop, a smart TV or a desktop computer… Whatever is easiest for you to use, see and hear when you are on your yoga mat. 

7. WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL I NEED? Finding a space you feel comfortable to practice yoga and where you will have minimal distractions are the most important things to consider. A yoga mat is beneficial but not essential; a mat will add a level of comfort to your practice and may reduce slipping. Yoga props such as blocks, straps, and bolsters can also be supportive however, I often encourage the use of cushions, pillows, blankets, books, or a scarf as helpful alternatives when starting out. Once you have found your rhythm with your yoga practice you might feel happy to invest in a few extra props or to upgrade your mat, however until then, come as you are with what you have. A towel on a carpeted floor is enough for now if you don’t have a yoga mat. 

8. HOW WILL THIS BE DIFFERENT TO DOING YOGA ON YOUTUBE? The sessions are live-streamed for a start so I will be there to say “Hello” and ask how you are when you log on. The sessions are on zoom so at the beginning of the class you’ll be greeted by friendly faces as your fellow members log on and we come together for our practice. Every class is different so it never gets boring and you won’t find yourself stuck doing the same yoga sequence like you can end up doing on YouTube. We are a community so there is a collective energy you can feel in the sessions even though we are online. It’s human connection without the worry of needing to be ‘perfect’. 

9. WON’T IT BE LONELY DOING YOGA ONLINE? What I love about the online yoga community is that we can all be practising on our own in our own personal space and environment yet we are not alone! Every session is live-streamed so it’s in real-time, there’s always a conversation, or rather a natter at the start of class, and I am talking to you throughout the session, not simply giving instructions, it’s personal and it’s about our community practising yoga together! 

10. IS IT THE SAME SCHEDULE EVERY WEEK? The sessions are the same every week. Monday to Friday, there are two morning sessions and three evening sessions, and all yoga sessions are held via zoom. The online studio is closed on Bank Holidays and a Christmas schedule is announced in November to ensure you get the most out of your membership through December with some well-deserved rest too! 

11. ARE THE SESSIONS RECORDED OR DO YOU HAVE TO JOIN LIVE? The Big Love Yoga Community is a live online yoga studio so yes, please join the live session that works for you and your lifestyle! None of the sessions are recorded because the live sessions are about drawing ourselves to the present moment through yoga in spite of what is going on around us. I make a conscious effort to make the sessions feel inclusive and personal, I may mention your name, particular phases of the month or year, or life situations that may be affecting us as a collective, so for your privacy and all the previously mentioned reasons I do not record the live yoga sessions. 

12. WHAT IF I MISS A LIVE YOGA SESSION? Some members like to have a regular class they attend every week although sometimes that simply isn't possible, life happens. If you are unable to attend your usual class I encourage you to try an alternative that week, be flexible with yourself and your lifestyle. There is no need to book in advance so you can attend at a time which suits you best that week. If you miss your sessions completely remember you have access to the Wellness Hub. 

13. WHAT ABOUT THE WEEKENDS OR THE DAYS I CAN’T JOIN THE LIVE SESSIONS? We all deserve some time off however this is also why I created the Wellness Hub which you can explore because you will have full access to it for 14-days! Here you will find 30-60 minute yoga sessions, breathing practices and guided meditations, all professionally recorded.
