#133 - Lucy Sesto - A Creative Approach ...

Adam Husler and Holly Husler
About this episode

“I knew teaching 20 classes a week wasn’t sustainable. I wanted to find something slower, more spacious.”

Lucy Sesto (@sestoyoga) shares how her journey from GB acrobatic gymnast to sought-after yoga teacher shaped a uniquely grounded and artistic approach to teaching. With a background in Psychology and Sociology, Lucy combines movement and self-inquiry in a way that feels both intelligent and deeply human.

We explore her shift from gym floors and reception desks to managing a London wellness studio, teaching corporate yoga, running international retreats, and working alongside Joe Wicks on the Bodycoach platform. Lucy speaks openly about her intention to “make art, not content” on social media, the pressures of constant creation, and the power of stepping back to reconnect with joy and creativity.

She also unpacks the emotional reality of holding space for others, setting boundaries, and how yoga and psychology beautifully intertwine. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a creative entrepreneur, or someone figuring out your next chapter, Lucy offers grounded wisdom and gentle humour on how to live and work more authentically—and why slowing down is sometimes the most radical thing you can do.
