Yoga Classes

Yoga is an ancient discipline that has evolved over thousands of years and promotes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. If you are looking for a fitness class, with a yoga title, then my classes are not for you.

I strive to honour the roots and teachings of this ancient practice in all my classes. I have over 800 hours of training and my classes combine asana practice (yoga poses), chanting, philosophy, good sensible breath work, pranayama, meditation and mindfulness. Yoga is not just a physical discipline, but a way of life and I always encourage my students to take what they experience and witness on the mat out into the rest of their day and lives to help them to cope with and interact with life in a more positive and meaningful way.

I pride myself on making all my classes inclusive and accessible to all levels of practitioner. I create a safe and welcoming environment for all. I am trauma informed and always offer plenty of choice and agency using modifications, variations and props as required to help everyone get the most out of their practice.

Yoga has many benefits, a lot of which are now scientifically proven, including but not limited to:

Improved physical strength, flexibility and balance;
Reduced chronic pain
Improved sleep
Reduction in anxiety and depression
Reduction in stress levels
Enhanced cognitive function – better memory, focus and executive functions
Improvements in mood; and promotes mindfulness – being more present and spending less time in rumination and overthinking
Yoga can also improve your energy levels and help you to feel calmer and more peaceful more of the time
