Naomi Rudge RPYT EYT trained as a yoga teacher with Sally Parkes in 2013, and is the founder of @realfertile fertility yoga teacher training program. She is also the women’s health researcher and social media director for The Sally Parkes Yoga Academy.
Naomi first stepped into a yoga class in 2004, looking for a way to reconnect with herself during some challenging times. Discovering that yoga could be much more than just a physical practice, her thirst for delving deeper into this profound system grew, leading her to undertake her 200hr yoga teacher training with Sally Parkes in 2013. Naomi then began teaching limited mobility and anxiety management classes alongside her regular yoga flow classes and relaxation offerings, before completing Level 1 IRI iRest Yoga Nidra in 2014.
Eventually, following her extensive studies in women’s health and upon learning from her own fertility journey, Naomi founded The Real Fertile Yoga School, with the aim of sharing information and offering support to women who are on their own journeys towards womb health and conception.
‘Naomi is an advocate and expert for understanding, working with and harnessing the power the female cycle whilst utilising yoga to maximise ones wellbeing to attain optimum menstrual and fertility health’ Sally Parkes.
