Yoga Qualifications

​

My yoga journey began at Brave Fish Yoga in the UK, studying in the traditional way, in the home of my teacher and Guruji, Clare Allen, whose devotion to the lineage of Paul and Suzee Grilley opened a path of deep inquiry and embodied wisdom. Teachings that invited me to explore functional yoga not as performance, but as a conversation with the body’s truth.

​

With over 480 hours of teacher training across Yin Yoga, Myofascial Yin, Yoga Nidra, spinal strength, Ayurveda, and the study of sacred texts, my practice has become a tapestry of science, spirit, and stillness.

 

I am fascinated by the uniqueness of the human form—its architecture, its stories, its quiet intelligence. No two skeletons are alike, and so no two expressions of a pose will ever be the same. Yoga, for me, extends far beyond aesthetics or performance.

​

It is a pathway into understanding the uniqueness of our skeletal structure and the art of meeting yourself exactly where you are.

​

I also draw inspiration from Daoist movement practices—fluid, circular, and intuitive forms that echo the natural world. These gentle, energetic pathways help cultivate softness, vitality, and a deeper connection to the body’s internal landscape.

​

As a reflexologist, I weave the meridians, the breath, and the subtle energetics into my teaching to support balance and harmony.

​

My path continues to be shaped by remarkable teachers—Paul and Suzee Grilley, Sarah Powers, Bernie Clark, Clare Allen, Kathy Paez, Joe Barnett, Professor Stuart McGill, Joanne Avison, Rolf Sovik, and Jo Phee. Their wisdom has deepened my understanding of fascia, biomechanics, meditation, rest, and the subtle body.

​

Through Ayurveda, I’ve learned to honour the rhythms of nature. Through Yoga Nidra, I’ve witnessed the healing power of conscious rest. Through Yin and MyoYin, I’ve learned the language of stillness and sensation.

About Me

​

Beyond the mat, I am a mother of two children and we share our home with a much‑loved cat Atlas who reminds me daily of the art of presence.

 

I find grounding in the garden—hands in the soil, listening to the quiet teachings of growth, decay, and renewal. These simple, earthy rituals root me in the same truths I share in my classes: patience, observation, and the beauty of unfolding in your own time.

​

I believe we are born with an innate magic—an inner luminosity that cannot be taught, only remembered. We carry the energy to create, the capacity to love without condition, and the strength to rise again and again.

​

I am a safe space holder and custodian of the sacred, ancient, living wisdom tradition. I remain a lifelong student, learning from my teachers, my children, my garden, and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we pause, breathe, and pay attention. 

​

My Classes & Retreats

​

I run in person yoga classes and retreats that invite students to slow down, listen inward, and rediscover the quiet magic that lives within them.

 

These offerings are spaces of remembrance—places where we return to the body, to the breath, and to the truth that we are already whole.

​

I teach from a functional perspective, where curiosity replaces perfection and sensation becomes the guide. Rather than asking what a pose looks like, we ask what it feels like. As Bernie Clark reminds us, “We do not use the body to get into a pose; we use the pose to get into our body.”

​

My teaching blends Yin yoga, MyoYin, Functional movement, Daoist flow, meditation, breathwork, and the subtle energetics of reflexology. Each class is an exploration of sensation, stillness, and the unique architecture of your body.

 

Beyond the Mat

​

Yoga does not begin or end on the mat.   it is a way of living, listening, and returning to the essence of who we are beneath the noise.

​

It is the practice of remembering our wholeness, our softness, our strength, and the quiet magic we carry within.

​

Beyond the shapes and the breath, yoga becomes a way of meeting life—its beauty, its challenges, its stillness—with presence and compassion. It is an invitation to return home to yourself, again and again.
