Kaivalya - Liberation and Inner Freedom - that's the goal of yoga!

I am a longstanding student of Yoga. After many years of practice, I qualified as a British Wheel of Yoga teacher (500 hours) Advanced Diploma, BWY Pranayama and Meditation modules. I am also a Somatic Movement Educator in the lineage of Thomas Hanna (Feldenkrais inspired).

In my classes I encourage you to feel your body moving according to its needs and cultivating awareness of your physical, emotional, mental patterns.

Classes vary and are usually based on a theme and on students' needs. I will guide you using approaches such as Hatha Yoga, Scaravelli Inspired Yoga, Pilates inspired core work, somatics movement, breath awareness (pranayama) , Yoga nidra (deep relaxation) meditation, underpinned by yogic philosophy.

My practice and teaching continue to evolve and I attend regular CPD courses and satsangs.

My yoga practice has helped me manage anxiety, depression, fatigue, inflammation and mild rhumatoid arthritis, child rearing, bereavement, trauma – basically, the strains and stresses of being human!

Deep gratitude to all the teachers who have shared their teachings throughout the ages and continue sharing for the benefit of all.

Om Namah Shiva
