We have freed up some more space for the clinic, so from next week, I will be available for in-person sessions at Leeds Anxiety Clinic, as well as online. Chris’s appointments are available as usual, too, so you can have your pick.

Back in 2021, we launched the Running Ambassadors programme to train people to effectively communicate the benefits of running, share their passion with others, and build a safe and supportive environment using the RISE Framework.

Four years later and I am exciting to announce we have now brought the course to Udemy to broaden our audience and allow more people to access the training.

The Prince of Darkness has left us. Like everyone learning guitar, Paranoid is a key part of my repertoire. And Iron Man is one of the songs I regularly serenade Elina with. I like to think Ozzy had all of this in mind when creating the heavy metal genre.

Today, Holbeck College is launching its first YACEP courses.

As I discussed back in February, we are now a Yoga Alliance Certified Education Provider. All registered yoga teachers with Yoga Alliance need to complete CPD as part maintaining our accreditation. Since February, we’ve been working on adapting our courses to to be suitable for CPD.

It’s been five years since I completed my yoga teacher training and it has been a brilliant journey. While I have enjoyed teaching a lot of the asana classes we would be familiar with in the UK, a lot of my teaching has focused on pratyhata, dharana and dyhana and allowed me to bring in a lot of my mindfulness work and that has been fantastic.

In many cases, such as my Yoga for Resilience workshops, we’ve combined multiple aspects of yoga to produce a well-rounded course and I feel that this has been when I’ve done my most impactful teaching.

I’m excited to announce I now have sufficient teaching hours to reach the E-RYT designation, which stands for Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher.

Alongside this, Holbeck College is now a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. Later this year, we will be rolling out some Yoga Alliance certified CPD courses.

I have a new social media project where I’m posting regular videos to remind you that you are enough just as you are. Chris Is Proud Of You.

Yesterday, my total number of Udemy students ticked over 100,000.

It’s a cool landmark. Udemy isn’t the only platform I teach on so I’ve been at this number in totaL for a while. But great to reach it on an influential platform like Udemy alone.

It’s been quite a year for 100,000s as Running For Beginners reached this number in January and Triathlon For Beginners reached this number in April.

Occupational psychology, also known as industrial, organisation and work psychology, is all about how people function and thrive in work environments. In my new course, you will learn all about building organisations that enhance employee engagement, wellbeing, and productivity.
