No matter where you are in the world, in the middle of a crazy city or on a desert island, practising yoga helps you enjoy life to the full. My experience that Yoga gets you through the bad times and makes the good times feel even better and brighter motivates me to teach and support yoga practice in Teesside and North Yorkshire. You'll find I'm passionate as well light hearted in my approach to sharing yoga. I was asked what my superpower was and I think it might be that I am able to meet you exactly where you are at. I'm able to share a customised helpful yoga practice with you within a group setting. Having spent a big chunk of the last fifteen years working with my own body & mind I instinctively share ​helpful movement patterns & mindful moments. I've been told by students that I make them feel very welcome and at home within the yoga class. I love working with practitioners of all levels of experience from complete beginners to yoga teachers, from teenagers to older adults. 

​

Yoga is my passion and my way of life. I am forever curious so continue to enquire, to explore and study with world renowned experts in their field. I feel blessed to have studied with some great teachers. At present I'm very lucky to be learning so much by regularly studying with my teacher Joey Miles Ashtanga Yoga Leeds (so wise beyond his years!) now on intensives and historically by having assisted in his Mysore classes. 

​

My teaching style is to help you become more aware and in tune with:

*lines of extension to find space within the body

*grounding & stabilising action to support the joints

*energy and explore the inner landscape

*developing helpful mindful thought patterns

​

My focus in class is to help you to listen in, to find a deeper connection with your breath & your true nature. My hope is that you'll mostly leave class feeling a little lighter in your body, you'll have a clearer mind and a warmer heart. 

​

I'd love to meet you and be part of your yoga journey.

Big Love
