WELCOME HOME

Yoga has been practiced all over the world for thousands of years, and is one of the most natural ways of keeping body and mind healthy, free of anxiety and stress.

Around 2000 years ago, a sage called Patanjali is believed to have collated the practice of yoga into the Yoga Sutra. The Sutra serves as a guidebook, and illustrates how the physical practice is just one aspect of yoga.

Even within the physical practice (called asana), yoga is unique, as we learn to connect movement and fluctuations of the mind to the rhythm of our breath. 

Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us to re-direct our attention inward, and become more aware of the present moment. 

Many people think that they need to be flexible to do yoga, but you don’t have to be able to touch your toes or do the splits, Yoga provides the opportunity to explore and extend the capacity of the body, and harmonise with a calm and focused mind.

My teaching offers alignment based flowing movements, and longer-held poses that build strength, stamina and stability. I address key points on anatomy and the benefits of poses for the physical and subtle energetic body.  This encourages each person to challenge themselves, whilst honouring and respecting their own bodies and acting with kindness to themselves.

Breathing is also a primordial foundation of my teaching. By bringing a conscious awareness to the breath, we can activate an internal change, bringing balance to the body and mind. Ultimately this will help to improve concentration, build focus, and enhance the asana practice. 

Yoga is so much more than physical postures. Even though asana is necessary, it is not as important as the journey that we embark on. Concentrating on the breath brings a return to the 'core', clearing personal clutter and allowing students to get in touch with who they actually are.

I seek to help each student to ‘come home to themselves’ and feel deeply nourished by finding harmony and calm in their minds, and freedom in their bodies—an odyssey of self-discovery and self-acceptance in continual progress.

My aim is to bring the essence of yoga from the past and adapt it to our 21st century lifestyle to benefit each and everyone.
