With an IAPC&M Level 4 Internationally Accredited Coach Qualification and over 19 years as a certified BWY yoga teacher, I'm passionate about guiding individuals aged 40 and above onto the yoga mat with confidence, free from the fear of mistakes or judgement.
In my coaching practice, I specialise in empowering midlife women who grapple with uncertainty and apprehension about the future. Many of these women, once bold and daring, now find themselves grappling with a loss of identity and dwindling confidence due to life transitions like menopause, empty nests, divorce, ageing parents, career changes, or entrepreneurship. My mission is to facilitate transformative shifts in their personal and professional lives, reigniting their zest for life. I help them confront and conquer internal barriers that may hold them back, empowering them to seize control of their lives again.
My journey into yoga began in 1993 when I attended my first class, which sparked a passion that has guided me ever since. I officially started teaching as a British Wheel of Yoga Teacher in 2006. As I have grown, I have taken on new skills and styles. I hired a coach as I entered perimenopause as I was struggling with the loss of identity, and my confidence seemed to disappear overnight. It soon became apparent that coaching would be a great addition to my offerings and the desire to support women over 40 reconnecting with themselves. A further significant point came in 2022 with my late diagnosis of ADHD, which has deepened my self-understanding, and now I am committed to supporting ADHD groups, facilitating adhd self-care sessions and fostering neurodiversity in yoga spaces through CPD events and inclusive teaching practices.
Life is a learning curve, and you never know what's coming around the corner.
I’m a certified BWY yoga teacher and Midlife Empowerment Coach
I’m Kim Pierpoint.
I believe that you should not feel awkward about getting on a yoga mat. If you can walk and sit you can join my yoga classes. Don’t be frightened by the images of yoga you see in the media, I want to love and honour all that your body/mind and soul can do for you.
Are you a woman who feels they are never good enough? Or like you are walking though life faking it?
Seeing people discover that they can get into the yoga postures and breathe deeply again literally makes me smile from ear to ear, every single time. When a coaching client tells me they truly believe in all that they have to offer and have begun to gain new clients I know they have found their own divine power and are taking control.
So, if you have always fancied yoga, you can be assured I teach you how to love the body you have right now. To connect deeply with your breath and awaken your inner energy. You can do this with face to face classes or online classes.
Don’t feel like your faking it!
