Our Story

Stretch + Sketch began in 2023 in Manchester, as a collaboration between Emma Thorlby, yoga facilitator and Caroline Dowsett, artist.

They have created a space where Yoga, Meditation and Art come together for the community.

Stretch + Sketch is a space for people to feel connected to, and inspired by Nature, through yoga + mindful art practices.

Bringing together their practices of yoga and art, Emma and Caroline create events and experiences that are mindful, playful and in alignment with the seasons and cycles of nature.

They both believe either art nor yoga are practices to master, they are practices to enjoy, for the process and not the outcome (but who knows, once you let go of expectations, you might surprise yourself!)

We are all creative.

Caroline’s Mindful Art sessions are an invitation to tap into your creativity, to use as a tool for meditation, and connecting to your inner world, inspired by Nature.

Yoga + movement for everybody.

Emma’s yoga practices are inspired by nature, seasons and cycles. Emma aims to help you reconnect with yourself and to build awareness and find ways of moving that feels good for you body, honouring your seasons and cycles within.
