Manchester: A woman caught everyone’s attention when she decided to do yoga on the A555, which was closed due to flooding. Freyah Grace, 31, said it was a spur-of-the-moment choice.
She was spotted stretching on the road after it turned into a lake from heavy rains. Freyah, a local yoga instructor, thought it would be a fun and eye-catching idea.
David Vaughan, who was out with his daughter, took photos after mistaking her for a large bird at first. He was shocked to see someone doing yoga in such an unusual spot.
After returning from trips to Australia and Bali, Freyah felt the sunny skies were a sign to get outside. So, she grabbed her mat and headed to the A555, not expecting much more than a memorable session.
She later shared her experience on social media, saying it felt like a no-brainer to practice yoga in such a unique location. The buzz it created was totally unexpected.
As of January 7, the A555 remained closed, with cars still submerged under the water. The story gained traction, with many people commenting online.
Some called her act “stupidity at its very best,” while others praised her for being bold. Freyah found the mixed reactions amusing and heartwarming.
She laughed at the dramatic negativity, saying it’s important to do things differently to spark conversations and inspire others. The positive feedback was really touching for her.
Freyah has been practicing yoga for about ten years and completed her teacher training during lockdown. Now, she offers online classes and personalized sessions.
She’s also planning to expand her reach to YouTube. Freyah loves to travel and connect with students worldwide, focusing on 1:1 sessions that cater to individual needs.
Though she’s not a huge fan of social media, she’s stepping out of her comfort zone to build a supportive community online. It’s a new adventure for her, and she’s excited about it.
Freyah believes that stepping out of your comfort zone can create a ripple effect. Whether people loved or hated her yoga session, it got them talking and thinking about trying something new.
Who knows where her yoga journey might take her next? Maybe another unexpected location!
