Welcome beautiful humans to The Phoenix Movement!

My name is Sammi and I’m the founder of The Phoenix Movement, I’m based in and around Chelmsford, Essex. I’m a 41 year old, solo mumma bear who decided during lockdown that after surviving & leaving an unhappy marriage I wanted to create safe empowering environments for Women to be in. I honestly didn’t know where to start I had two babies, I was about to be a kidney donor & honestly it felt a lot.

I started out with a small tribe of ladies, through yoga, chats, meditation, laughter I slowly built a community. After 5 years I’m proud to say I now have a large gorgeously kind & inspiring community of ladies who attend classes from beginners, to power yoga through to my Monthy Soundbaths and lately my Day retreats & Cacao ceremonies 🙏💜

In a past life I was a Music teacher & an early years specialist so I’ve just recently released my new Phoenix Minis classes for mums & babies with next year I’ll be adding classes going up to age 10🙏

I got quite teary in my last retreat when listening to how everyone had come to me, I felt truly honoured that I was able to be that safe space for these women🥹

My passion is to not only support, but empower women to believe in their own power, to be reminded that to be gentle, emotional & to take time to pause is still a sign of strength. As a woman who is going through a adult ADHD diagnosis in her 40s & also in perimenopause I know personally how important it is to have spaces where I can be truly myself & this is what I try to create for everyone who comes into one of my spaces ✨😘

I am a very passionate, giant button obsessed yogi. I truly believe that yoga is for everyone and have made it a passion of mine to really empower you to show up for yourself. I would love to help you find the magic in your yoga practice on and off the mat, through guidance and practice I can promise you that attending a yoga class is about way more than just getting fit & healthy. It is exercise for the mind, healing for the soul & enjoying cake together (for some classes!)

If you’ve got this far and read it all - THANK YOU 🙏 you superstars ✨✨🙌😘 when you meet me you’ll realise I’m a very chatty, bubbly, chocolate loving singing yogi so this long ramble will make total sense 🤣🤣🤣

Much love & Yogi Hugs

Sammi xx
