Faye Fenton, Founder

  • Hometown:
    Nottingham
  • Favourite Food:
    Difficult one. Curry or any kind of Middle Eastern take on aubergines. Mmmm....
  • Favourite Drink:
    Builders Tea.
  • Favourite Yoga Position:
    Wild Thing. Or any challenging standing balance. When you're SO focused on stillness and not falling over, your body and mind somehow merges with the whole world. Time stands still. It's addictive.
  • Favourite Colour:
    Coral.
  • Favourite Animal:
    Our lockdown pup, Cyrille. Thank god for Yoga and dogs.
  • Favourite Book:
    The Guilty Feminist by Deborah Frances-White. Kicks me into action, and hilarious. Also gotta mention F*ck It by John C. Parkin. It was my fave when setting up Barefoot back in 2012. Practical wisdom on every page.
  • Favourite Movie:
    Can't choose one. BARBIE! (that speech by America Ferrera. So painfully, perfectly sums up our struggle.) Parasite by Bong Joon-ho, and I'm not ashamed to say, Inbetweeners 2. My favourite dodgy laugh-out-loud movie ever! That scene in the water park...
  • Why Yoga?
    Yoga changes people's lives, in any and every way imaginable. Ignore the insta images, you can be any age, shape or size or 'type' to go inwards and benefit. I love the connection and community it weaves. Yoga is the most magical, fun, healing natural-high ever. Everything you learn on the mat eventually translates into real life.
