Our Journey

Our journey began when Paul (the owner) transformed the building into the peaceful, zen-filled sanctuary it is today – a soulful space where you can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. A place where mind, body, and spirit come together in harmony.

After Paul experienced some profound life changes, including a move to Italy and the birth of his first child, he entrusted the heart of Buddhas & Wellness to Poppy, studio manager and yoga teacher.

Together, they are dedicated to holding space for healing, growth, and connection, bringing like-minded souls together on a shared path of wellness, all guided by a sense of divine purpose.

POPPY MAYA

Yoga started as a physical practice for me, but it quickly became the doorway to my own transformation - in body, mind and soul. As my practice deepened, I released unhealthy weight, rewired my negative mindset and started remembering who I really am beneath the noise.

Becoming a teacher was the most natural thing in the world; not because i know it all, but because I know what it's like to begin.

It's the greatest honour to hold space for others as they remember themselves too.

I started practising yoga over a decade ago, and what first began ad an on-off relationship with the practice has steadily become a consistent, grounding part of my life.

As a teacher I hope to guide you to explore your own unique connection to this transformative practice. Forever a student myself, knowing there is always more to learn, to explore and uncover.

Together we can explore how yoga can support us and how we connect with both our inner selves and the outer world.

I've been interested in holistic wellness for a long time, my yoga practice being part of this.

I choose to share the practice because I truly believe everyone deserves to feel the benefits of free flowing energy in the body, release of stagnancy and space for our breath to move.

Its difference is amazing when we offer ourselves an hour of mat time during the day or week.

I hope to meet you soon if you feel the call to join us, pop along.

Yoga Teacher & Sound Therapist

Jules Buchanan

I first tried yoga in 2014 after booking for a less impactful form of exercise following years of running and developing 'crunchy knees'. I was instantly hooked on hot yoga and embarked on a Yoga Alliance Professionals accreditation training course at the start of 2016.

After teaching at a hot yoga studio for 6 months I set up my own village hall class.

Fast forward to now and i've moved to Northumbria and established my business teaching yoga & sound therapy.

"Such a beauty tucked away in Bedlington. A well kept secret energy centre. A lovely yoga space; light and airy yet warmth seeps form every corner. I look forwars to coming again."
