Although I had done yoga for many years, it was after the birth of my son in 2012 that I really began to use yoga to support me in my daily life, takings ideas and philosophy off of the mat and out in to the world.

 

My son and I did Mother & Baby classes together, and after a tricky birth these really helped us to bond. As my son grew older, my yoga practice became a way of reconnecting with myself and to support me on my journey of motherhood. Pregnancy Yoga classes gave me some precious time to myself and my growing bump when I was expecting my daughter in 2016. 

 

When my daughter started school, and amidst the global pandemic in 2021, I completed my 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training with Tanja Mickwitz and the Rasa Yoga School, which honours both the roots of yoga and the fact that yoga is for everyone.

​

In 2022 I completed my 85hr Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training with Sally Parkes, and 25hr Somatic Yoga and Mindfulness 'The Somatic Practices of the Heart' with Still Flowing Yoga.

​

In 2023 and 2024 I completed Level 1 and Level 2 Relax & Renew™ Restorative Yoga Training with Judith Hanson Lasater.

​​

Early in 2024 I also completed the Embody & Flow CPD with Calli Popham, which has fundamentally informed how I now teach an embodied approach to yoga, getting to know ourselves from the inside out.

​

Yoga for me is about getting to know yourself, and in my classes I use the poses, mudras and breathing techniques to help you create that connection with yourself and slow down. I teach from what I feel in my own body, and am inspired by Mother Earth. I hope you find my classes to be gentle, safe places for you to explore your body, feel nourished, and find peace in a busy world.
