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. With over 800 hours of training, my classes combine asana practice (yoga poses), chanting, philosophy, 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 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 practitioners of all levels. I create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. I am trauma-informed and always offer plenty of choice and agency, using modifications, variations, and props as needed 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 most of the time
