“your work should fill you with passion, support you fully so you can give your best & feel great every time you get up & teach”
abOUT JADE & PRIDE CREATIVE
Before Yoga, I spent over 12 years in high level marketing, PR & commercial roles across global household name car manufacturers & internationally renowned sports venues.
On the outside, I was absolutely killing it - I was the youngest PR department head in the car industry at 25, one of Autocar’s top 100 Women in the Automotive Industry, won Press Office of the Year, Best Online Presence, was shortlisted for Rising PR Star of the Year and loads more shiny trinkets.
I had a seat at the table influencing & shaping creative direction, messaging & more both in the UK & internationally. It was everything I’d ever wanted. But…
Inside, I was miserable working in a space where every day was a battle. Existing as a young woman in senior leadership roles made being taken seriously a million times more difficult in a space where I was already the minority.
I had several serious, shocking experiences that fundamentally left me with serious anxiety, questioning my self-worth and value. I’d simply had enough trying to fit in and having a difficult existence at work.
I knew I was meant for more, and wanted to steer my own ship as the visionary I dreamed of being. Pride Yoga was born.

My first International Show as a Department Head
I found yoga in 2013 & trained as a teacher in 2018.
i’ve never looked back.
Yoga was the perfect antidote to a high stress job. I loved the peace, the challenge with myself and found myself diving into the practice more and more deeply as the years went by.
Yoga taught me to truly value and know myself, repaired my confidence and gave me courage to make most of the big calls in my life. It also helped me recover physically after a childhood accident that left me with chronic pain for my teenage years, and mentally through the turbulent car industry days.
In 2018 after I left my last less than ideal in house PR role, I took a sabbatical and retrained as a yoga teacher. I opened Pride Yoga in the summer of 2018, taking it full-time in 2019 and it’s been that way ever since.
the dm that sparked
WITH Pride creative:
“Jade can you help me with my marketing please? I have no idea where to start & can tell you do”
I’d been teaching yoga for a couple of years and had built up quite a following online of fellow yoga teachers and wellbeing pros who were always in my DMs & emails asking for my advice, how I knew what I was doing & why I was doing certain things.
I could see clearly that business skills & marketing know-how were next to non existent in the wellbeing industry.
Things that were immediately obvious to me with my background, just weren’t to other teachers or businesses. Why? They just didn’t know as they weren’t getting taught what they need to know to succeed.
Those mistakes and missteps were costing them clients, confidence, causing huge headaches, overwhelm. Ultimately, all of this was making people think there was absolutely no way they’d ever be successful, which wasn’t true.
So, I started off running very small free to attend online workshops for yoga teachers around the first lockdown in 2020 and signed my first 1:1 client that week. And I’ve been helping wellness businesses like you ever since!
