Mindful Yoga
Classes are deeply relaxing, mindful & breath-focused. They gently create space & strength in body & mind, balancing the nervous system & enabling us to reconnect with our natural sense of peace. They are ideal for stress relief & boosting resilience.
Classes combine flowing sequences with static postures. We focus on mindfully connecting with the breath while improving body awareness. We finish with restorative stretching & a calming guided relaxation.
Modern yoga is sometimes taught as just an exercise class, or a way of bypassing and avoiding difficult thoughts & feelings. The mindfulness element in my classes encourages us to be open to all aspects of life with kindness & curiosity, rather than searching to fix or distract ourselves.
Everybody is welcome - you do not have to be slim, fit, flexible or strong to join a class. I have a warm, gentle teaching style & I am able to design & adapt classes according to your individual needs. I offer modifications & encourage you to listen to your own body with kindness.

"I just wanted to thank you for for introducing me to yoga. Before starting your course I thought yoga wasn’t for me because I was far from a flexible person, but your approach & your kindness made me change my mind.
I have enjoyed these years of classes very much, & I will definitely miss it, especially your calming voice."
