Firstly it seems that most students come to chill out, to find respite from the demands of family, work and busy lives. Building physical strength, flexibility and improving health/well being come a close second.  After feeling these benefits for a time, often students start to go a little deeper. They start to explore their relationship to their breath, to their body and mind; it becomes more of an opportunity to learn a little more about themselves. Noticing the way we resist a practice for example, can open up a new line of thinking and the potential to ease in and surrender a little more.

I like to share information about anatomy and physiology in my classes, and how certain practices activate and/or balance the body in different ways. The nervous and respiratory systems feature strongly as they have such a big impact on our overall health, both mental and physical. I also like to drop in little insights about life and practice that I have learned along the way.

Every one who comes to class is unique.

My Diploma level (1400+ hours) training & thirteen years of diverse teaching experience give me solid skills in adapting each Yoga practice so that it’s safe, enjoyable and beneficial for every student.  A non-competitive atmosphere is essential for people to feel they have the time and support for their own practice to unfold.
