I teach vinyasa yoga, a style that emphasises the linking of breath with movement through flowing sequences to encourage presence and vitality. I began practicing and teaching primarily in the ashtanga tradition in 2014; this evolved into my deeper exploration of more creative flow in the vinyasa tradition from 2016. Since then, I have embraced influences from regular practice in rocket, budokon, jivamukti, and dharma yoga, and been guided by the wisdom of my senior teachers including Emi Tull, Stewart Gilchrist, Marcus Veda, and Alan Ellman. I have continued training with numerous CPD courses over the years, and most recently returned to my roots at Sampoorna Yoga in India, where I completed a 300-hour advanced vinyasa teacher training.

In my adult classes today, I enjoy teaching dynamic flows, where the linking of breath and creative movement awakens our system and helps us get out of our minds and into our bodies. I like to incorporate opportunities for more challenging postures including arm balances, inversions and deeper backbends, and support my students to progress in these asanas; while always encouraging that what constitutes an ‘advanced’ yoga practice is our presence of mind in the movement rather than what the poses look like. I also teach gentle flow classes, where we use slow movement to invite a softer state of meditation and deepen into poses to create space in the body and mind.

In addition to teaching adult yoga, in 2015 and 2016 I trained to teach yoga to children and teens. This led me to work closely with the Teen Yoga Foundation and Charlotta Martinus, and collaborate with teachers across the UK to promote the increased offering of yoga and mindfulness to young people, especially in schools. Though I am not currently teaching children or teens, I offer clinical supervision and consultation to other yoga teachers working with vulnerable young people.
