About The Inner Healing School of Yoga
Established in 1987, the Inner Healing School of Yoga has been dedicated to teaching yoga in a way that honours its therapeutic and healing qualities. Whether you are seeking gentle, nurturing sessions or more challenging practices, our classes are designed to meet you where you are, with breath at the heart of every posture.
Breath is the foundation of life — influencing every cell, your energy, and your emotional and mental wellbeing. At the Inner Healing School of Yoga, we emphasise easy, natural breathing in every pose, whether you are in a deep relaxation like Savasana or a more invigorating posture like Shoulderstand. This approach ensures that your practice is always beneficial, enjoyable, and sustainable.
Yoga is a timeless, ancient art that has been practised for thousands of years. Today, it is being rediscovered as a perfect way to restore balance, harmony, and connection — with others, the world around us, and, most importantly, within yourself. Each session holds unique gifts: improved fitness, mental clarity, emotional stability, confidence, happiness, and even the possibility of a new career path.
At the Inner Healing School of Yoga, we celebrate the magic of yoga and its capacity to heal, transform, and enrich life. Regular practice allows you to experience these gifts in ways that are personal, profound, and uniquely your own.
About David Cosserat
David has been exploring the wonders of yoga for over 30 years.
“My journey began with a meditation session, and its effect was profound — I became calmer, happier, and more serene. This naturally led me to yoga classes, which transformed my lifestyle and allowed it to blossom. During my travels, especially in India, I experienced many different forms of yoga, from the strong and dynamic to the soothingly gentle. Across all styles, the underlying themes of inner peace, love, and wellbeing shine through. Living becomes a joy and opens you to the magic of yourself.”
David is now the Director of The Inner Healing School of Yoga, a family-run school with over 35 years of experience. The school is founded on the belief that yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Taught as a therapeutic practice, yoga opens the door to improved fitness, radiant health, and emotional balance.
The Inner Healing School of Yoga is the most established yoga school in the Midlands, specialising in Hatha Yoga. Classes are suitable for beginners through to more experienced students, beginning with a gentle warm-up, moving into more energising postures, and concluding with a deep, restorative relaxation. All our teachers are highly qualified, compassionate, and experienced.
Over the years, David has gained a wide range of qualifications, including:
Diplomas in Yoga, Indian Head Massage, Touch for Health (Kinesiology), and Laughter Yoga
University degrees in Film Documentary (BA Hons) and TESOL
