About me

I came to teaching yoga after many years of mindfulness practice and teaching, alongside a career in education and coaching.

I’m also AuDHD and live with the effects of trauma, so I know from experience how valuable it can be to have practices that help you feel safe in your body, quieten some of the noise and reconnect with yourself. At a point in my life when I was having to rediscover who I was beyond years of caring for other people, training to teach yoga felt instinctive. It gave me something that was mine, but also something I could share.

​

The quieter practices have become especially important to me.

Yin asks us to stop striving and stay with ourselves for a while. Restorative Yoga takes away even the effort of holding ourselves up and gives the body permission simply to rest. Yoga Nidra can take us somewhere deeper again, into that strange space between wakefulness and sleep where the body can become profoundly still while awareness remains. I love Hatha and gentle flow too, but these slower practices speak to something I think many of us desperately need now: less performance, less pressure, less noise, and more permission to listen to our own bodies.

​

That is the kind of yoga I  share in my classes. Yoga that is real, grounded and accessible. Yoga with choices rather than expectations. Yoga that helps people feel more themselves, not more like the person social media tells them they should be.
