Yoga has been part of my life since 1997. I began with Iyengar Yoga in Dorset, practising with senior teacher Mary Heath and over nearly 30 years my practice has evolved through Hatha, Vinyasa and Kundalini yoga. I’m deeply interested in the more subtle and spiritual dimensions of yoga, including Tantric philosophy - the ancient understanding of life, consciousness and our connection with something greater than ourselves.
Yoga isn't about becoming a better version of ourselves - although consistent practice may surprise you with how it can contribute to positive transformation of mind, body and spirit. It is about learning to accept ourselves more fully, just as we are.
I see yoga as a moving meditation - a way of coming back home to ourselves. Through movement, breath and awareness, we become quieter, softer within and more able to hear our own inner voice. We begin to experience ourselves not as separate, but as individual waves within the infinite ocean of consciousness.
I love exploring the connection between movement and prana - the life energy that flows through us. This naturally connects with my Reiki practice, which I gently weave into the deep relaxation at the end of my classes. As a fully qualified, CNHC-registered Reiki Master Practitioner, I value the opportunity to bring an additional layer of calm, care and positive energy to the student experience.
As you become still, you have the opportunity to simply receive - allowing the body and mind to settle while Reiki supports a deeply restful and nurturing experience.
