“It was a masterful programme of yoga and self-discovery.”

DAWN THOMAS

 

Yoga is a transformational and inspiring journey of exploration, awareness and acceptance. It gives us the opportunity to tap into the endless potential we hold within ourselves, so we may evolve with a deeper understanding of who we are and where we’re at, within each and every moment.

. Yoga Classes .

Private, corporate & group classes

My style of teaching is playful and light-hearted, focusing on slow, strong and intentional movements, with the precision and attentive alignment of Iyengar.

This practice builds strength, stability and balance, which, in turn, promotes a greater sense of stillness, calm and well-being. My aim is to challenge students out of their comfort zones and encourage them to tiptoe over their edge and step beyond. On the other side lies growth, freedom and unlimited possibilities.

Step away from the distractions of your daily life and join me and other like-minded souls on retreat.  Moments of quiet contemplation will allow you to go deep into your psyche and practice consciously, appreciating being in the moment. Along with deepening and expanding your yoga, we will laugh, dance, have fun and play.

. Hormone Yoga Therapy .

 
 

I am now entering peri-menopause and things are changing within me. Over the last few years, I’ve thrown myself into understanding more about what’s going on and its impact. This has been taboo for a very long time. There is a profound intelligence at work during these interesting and challenging years, when a woman begins transformation through menopause. I attended a 60 hour training programme in Hormone Yoga Therapy with its creator, Dinah Rodrigues. This is a set sequence, purposely designed with yoga techniques, Tibetan energy work, breathing exercises and visualisations.

. Chakra Dancing .

 

Chakra Dancing is a dynamic, heartfelt and healing movement practice for well-being. In every class we move freely and fluidly to a beat that resonates with each chakra. You are guided into your own rhythmic sacred place, to help release emotions, restore balance and reconnect to your inner teacher.
