My yoga classes are dynamic, mindful and designed to create a balance between movement, strength, mobility and relaxation. I teach primarily Vinyasa-style yoga, where breath is connected to movement and each sequence flows naturally from one posture to the next. My classes are suitable for different levels of experience, and I always encourage students to work at a pace that feels appropriate for their body.

A typical class begins with a short grounding practice and gentle warm-up to prepare the body and focus the mind. We then gradually build into a flowing sequence, incorporating strength, mobility, balance and opportunities to explore more challenging postures. Depending on the class, we may work towards a specific peak pose, such as an arm balance or inversion, while focusing on safe and progressive preparation. I offer clear alignment cues, modifications and variations so that students can choose the level that suits them.

I have been practising yoga for eight years and completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Triyoga. My own practice continues to be an important part of my teaching, and I enjoy sharing the physical and mental benefits that yoga has brought into my life.

I want every student to leave my class feeling stronger, more open and more connected to themselves. Whether you are completely new to yoga or looking to deepen an existing practice, my aim is to create a welcoming, encouraging and energising environment where you can challenge yourself while still respecting your body.
