I have practiced yoga for over twenty years, a lot of those with a teacher of Vijana Yoga. With a background in special education I was a teacher in London for many years before moving to Stroud. I originally trained to teach yoga with Integral Yoga and The Special Yoga Centre and more recently I completed a teacher training course with Yoga on the Lane, under senior teachers Naomi Annand and Adam Hocke.

I offer mindful, breath-led vinyasa flow classes, in a friendly inclusive space. The term ‘vinyasa’ means ‘to place in a special way’ and I develop carefully sequenced, flowing classes with attention paid to the transitions between poses as well as held postures. Combining a precise but playful physical practice with breath, meditation and deep rest, our classes together are an opportunity to develop body-awareness, self-compassion and connection.

I have a particular interest in ensuring yoga is accessible to everyone. Everybody is welcome and there will be plenty of options for different levels of experience and different bodies. I believe yoga has the potential to enable us to develop both self-awareness and self-acceptance. This can support connection with others and the world around us, hopefully leading to a more compassionate way of living and collective well-being.
