About Me
"Functional, holistic wellbeing matters far more than surface performance"
"Functional, holistic wellbeing matters far more than surface performance"
From swimming, biking and hockey at school, triathlon and the gym at university, to more triathlon, hyrox and paddleboarding in mid-life.
An approach to diet and nutrition that supports optimal health and longevity, but is based around the juggle & balance of real life.
Over 10 years of weekly Ashtanga Vinyasa classes in Bracknell - the discipline that taught me that recovery matters as much as effort.
Hello, I’m Penny and welcome to MoveEatYoga!
Health, fitness, and movement have played a central role in my life for as long as I can remember - starting way back in the 90s with competitive swimming, all the sports teams at school, step aerobics classes with my mum and weekend bike rides with my dad! I loved being active and a lot of my friendships were based around my sports.
With a degree in Sports Science, I began my career as a Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor, and Swim Teacher, coaching clients 1:1 and in groups for nearly a decade. I later transitioned into a clinical role as a Health and Wellbeing Physiologist with Nuffield Health, where I specialised in cardiovascular and metabolic health screening, disease prevention, and evidence-based behavior change strategies. I worked with some amazing Doctors, Nutritional Therapists and Physiotherapists and was able to see first hand, just how impactful holistic wellbeing was for the optimisation of health and longevity.
Over time, and particularly as I stepped into motherhood - my perspective shifted. I realised that functional, holistic wellbeing matters far more than just surface performance. I adapted my own approach to food, movement, and recovery, and spent the last decade educating the next generation of sport and fitness enthusiasts by teaching A-Level PE, BTEC Sport, and Level 2/3 Personal Training qualifications. Throughout it all, I’ve continued teaching weekly Vinyasa yoga classes in Bracknell, which remains a true passion and some of my favourite hours each week.
MoveEatYoga was born from these core pillars: moving to build real strength - eating well to nourish and fuel your body, and using yoga to find balance and support recovery. Today, I specialise in 1:1 online coaching, helping people build strength and fitness, lose fat sustainably, boost your everyday energy, or develop a healthier relationship with food. I’m here to guide you with structure, empathy, and sustainable habits built for real life.
