My Teaching and Class Styles.

I teach dynamic different styles of yoga for all abilities and ages, always focusing on breath and alignment, whilst bringing attention to going beyond just the physical yoga asana practice – the part we often get caught up in! Yoga should be inclusive with its breadth of variations and modifications that can support us in whatever state and mood we are in on a particular day. While it is fun to challenge ourselves into fancy poses and redefining our physical boundaries, yoga is not about achieving a certain shape with the body – a powerful yoga practice is about exploring our mindset as we continuously refine and redefine our practice by encompassing the philosophical aspects of yoga, on and off the mat.

    Vinyasa Yoga

    Vinyasa is a dynamic style of yoga in which we link movement and breath. Classes begin with a gentle warm up and a flow through sun salutations which help to center the mind and establish rhythm of breath and movement. We then move through a sequence of standing, twisting, balancing, seated, and reclining postures for all of which there are variations to suit every body.

    The posture or asana practice not only challenges and strengthens the body, but also the mind! With our flow, we aim to build a moving meditation, reflecting on our reactions to physical and mental challenges we face during the practice, and how we remain balanced, calm and patient. The class ends in a relaxing savasana.

    The class will leave you feeling energised and rejuvenated.

    Unwind/Slow Flow Yoga

    Slow Flow classes are a wonderful way to wind down and instill a sense of calm and peace. A class may begin with a juicy warm up, targeting tension in shoulders and neck, and then flow through a few gentle and slow sun salutation variations to find our rhythm and breath. The second half of the practice is yin and restorative inspired with mainly seated or reclined asanas held for longer periods of time and supported by bolsters, blocks and straps.

    Slow doesn’t always mean easier, especially when we are used to the fast pace of London life. Holding postures and stretches for longer can be more physical and with less movements to coordinate, our monkey mind can distract us much more easily. At the same time, this practice gives us the opportunity to go deeper, with more space to focus on the breath as an anchor in meditation, and to explore physical and emotional sensations that arise.

    You will walk out feeling relaxed, balanced and grounded – ready to tackle the day with calm, or for a good nights sleep!

    Yin Yoga

    Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga based on principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Mostly seated and reclined poses are held for longer periods of typically 3-5 minutes or longer, targeting deep connective tissues like fascia, ligaments, and joints.

    The slow practice provides space to turn inward and tune into both the mind and the sensations of the physical body, teaching to work through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

    The practice will leave you feeling calm and grounded.

    Mandala Vinyasa

    Mandala Vinyasa Yoga is a creative, dynamic, and challenging Vinyasa yoga practice that moves in a 360-degree circular pattern around the mat, incorporating sequences designed to align with the four classical elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air) and chakra activation. This style integrates natural spiral patterns, grounding root chakra activation, and a deep connection to the body's creative and energetic manifestations.  

    The practice typically centers around a focus or peak pose, sensation or emotion, that is reflected in the sequencing of postures, allowing to go deeper as you move through the practice.

    You will walk out feeling reinvigorated and balanced.

    Meditation

    Don’t just do something, sit there! And if you have tried it, you know that’s much easier said than done…

    I teach standalone meditation sessions and if time permits, include a seated meditation in both Vinyasa and Slow Flow classes. I teach different meditation techniques, and classes may include some simple pranayama or breath awareness, chakra meditations or other guided meditations. There’s no “being good” at meditation (or at yoga)… it’s all just practice, whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner.

    Private / Office Yoga

    Private yoga sessions tailored to your specific needs and goals can take place for you alone or for your group at a time and place convenient for you.

    One-on-one yoga or group yoga sessions for you and your family or friends are a great way to start your yoga journey, to work on specific aspects and asana (postures) to deepen your practice, to learn modifications that suit your body, or to work with injuries in a safe and supported setting.

    Corporate yoga sessions at the office can provide a great bonding experience for your team, and are a wonderful way to refresh and re-energize after a hard days work by releasing tension and stress in body and mind. If you don’t have space to hold group yoga classes at work, I am happy to discuss options of finding a suitable space nearby.
