About me
I share inclusive, kind yet profoundly powerful yoga and movement and I’ve had the joy and privilege of being a full time yoga teacher since 2002 when I first qualified.
I’m also a Focalizing practitioner – this powerful healing modality blends beautifully into both my public classes and my one-to-one practice.
There are essentially two strands to my work:
Fixed Price Yoga & Movement
In-person courses, retreats, workshops and events
By-donation Yoga & Movement
Weekly online yoga & video library, and also one to one sessions either online or in-preson. It’s important to me that everyone who feels drawn to working with me should be able to, regardless of location or financial circumstances.
The last two decades have led me to explore and train in many different yoga traditions and practices, and my influences are varied and eclectic as you would expect!
In recent years I have been most inspired by the work of Oracle Girl: Dr Jacqueline Hobbs, with which I feel a deep resonance. Jacqueline offers a purification space which deletes family patterns and frees us from personal issues, enabling us to embody more love, and the physical space that I offer anchors and establishes this new vibration in the body.
My classes ground, release, engage and open the entire system resulting in a profound sense of presence and relaxation. We focus on the quality of awareness that we bring to our embodied experience and see happens when we bathe in our own deep attention.
Through the body, we can re-connect to an ever expanding awareness of who we are, how we feel and what is right for us. In these times of unprecedented change, this is essential as it empowers us to create a different, better life for ourselves – simply by becoming more of who we already are!
This is yoga without judgement or agenda and I strive to make it accessible and appropriate regardless of your age or level.

“Just finished doing this recording after a busy day at work and I found it utterly fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing such a deeply comforting practice. The warming work followed by the restorative poses made it so calming and nourishing. This is a class I will return to many times.”
