As a trained ballet dancer, exercise has always been a huge part of my life. What was missing from my exercise routine, was the calming and spiritual side, that yoga offers.
After discovering the benefits of cultivating a balanced mind, body and spirit, I decided to pursue yoga teacher training to share my learning with others. I wanted a deep dive into the subject, so I opted for a 300-hour course at Yoga Kula, which was an 18-month journey of discovery. Yes, it was tough at times, but I learnt so much about myself, as much as anything else. Who knew there was so much more than fancy yoga poses?
I have decided that my yoga teachings will be put to best use by bringing this practice to vulnerable people, whether they are recovering from trauma, addiction, injury, or age-related issues. I am also offering classes focusing on increasing flexibility and mobility, for those who prefer this to be separate from yoga.
I have experience in bodywork, and teach in a trauma-informed way, so you are safe and respected in my sessions. I offer touch support, and I keep my classes intentionally small to provide a more tailored experience. You will never be neglected in my class.
My offerings
Having practised most styles of yoga, I have chosen to specialise in styles which I believe bring the most physical and mental benefit to everyone. Yin is a favourite because it's simply the best form of yoga to release tension in the mind and body. I am a great believer in increasing flexibility and mobility, along with healing, therefore, my current offerings reflect this:
This is a fusion of yoga and ballet poses, to increase flexibility and mobility. Please see Stretch Timetable for further information.
This is a fairly new offering, available to people in and around the Weeton area of North Yorkshire. Please see the Indian Head Massage tab for further information.
