How I can Help
​
My teaching philosophy is that one size DOES NOT fit all. Fit the yoga postures to the person rather than the person into the postures. To encourage this, I offer exploration of alignment within a range of postures using the systems of Hatha, Vinyasa flow and layer them with multidimensional movements, strengthening cues as well enjoying the tradition of yoga for stretch and release postures.
​
Using the tradition of yoga with the needs of a 21st living, I can help you feel at ease in your body and mind by guiding you through yoga-based movements that work for your needs and guide you into having more freedom of movement in your body, more stillness and peacefulness within your mind. I can offer you creative yoga flow practices that challenge body and mind. Gentle and slow yoga practices for those who are starting on their yoga journey or just looking for a softer yoga practice. As well as being a Yoga Teacher, I am a Yoga Therapist and Sleep Recovery trained.
​
Individualty
​
My classes hold a strong focus on individuality, allowing participants to learn about their body, breathe, mind, emotions and the larger canvas of their lives. With teachings to help translate these findings into what they need from yoga practice. As well as the physical body movements, (asana), I interweave teachings of yogic philosophy as well as ideas and thinkings from contemporary philosophers to explore the richness and benefits of what a full yoga practice has to offer, giving us the opportunity of encouraging the opening of the mind and body.
About my classes
​
For those who attend my classes and private sessions, I offer a plethora of learnings through traditional yoga teachings coupled with contemporary anatomy / physiology knowledge and research with the aim to help students feel empowered in taking sovereignty over their body and mind, not only in yoga but in life.
My teaching is mindful, there is no zipping from posture to posture in my sessions as I endeavour to feel deeper into each person’s individual anatomy, energy, and mind while on the yoga mat.
We are all unique and there is no one ‘right’ way to explore yoga. Through my experience and training, I look to bring to the surface the uniqueness of each individual I teach.
I am a lifelong creative and this shows through in my sessions, as I teach yoga with an undogmatic approach by exploring practices that ‘colour’ within and outside of traditional yoga teachings. This is felt through individual alignment needs, positive movement, and balance work for ageing with strength, flexibility and confidence, ideas for everyday functional movement and basic neuroscience learnings.
Whether you are seeking yoga to release body tension and stiffness or to find stillness and peace of mind through a deeper journey, you have the freedom to absorb the teachings I offer which resonate with you.
Through years of teaching, I am delighted that my classes attract diversity through culture, ethnicities, ages (my oldest client is 92), varying abilities, body size, gender, neurotypical, neurodivergent, from the super fit to those who are very, very poorly. This is important to me and is what makes a kind and healthy community.
