A little hello from me

I’m so glad you found your way here.

I came to teaching yoga the roundabout way: I’ve been a pharmacist for years, I run, I lift, and I also have a regular Ashtanga practice. All of which is to say, I get bodies that are stiff, tired, sore or brand new to this. You’re welcome exactly as you are.

Trained in Hatha yoga (200 hours, YogaJo’s), now completing 300-hour advanced training.

If you’ve got questions, anything at all, please ask.

What the classes are like

Gentle, steady, breath-led, and small enough to be about you.

With only three of you, I can see each person and tailor what I offer, so the practice bends around your body rather than the other way round. Over time you’ll build flexibility, strength and a quiet confidence that comes from connecting with your body and your breath. You don’t need to be bendy. You don’t need to touch your toes. You just need to turn up.

I demonstrate everything, then watch closely and adjust for each of you. I’ll tell you what a pose is for and what to feel for, in plain language, and the breath always matters more than the shape. And we finish with a proper rest. I’ll never cut that short to squeeze more in.

“Her demeanor is so comforting and warm, you never feel awkward, and she truly makes you feel you can do anything no matter your ability! … With a maximum of just three people per class, it feels more like an exclusive boutique yoga studio than your typical group class.”

Hatha flow

Breath-led and steady, gentle or more challenging, with a proper rest at the end. Three students at most.

Yin

Slow and quiet. Poses are held for a few minutes, supported by bolsters and blankets, so the body can let go a little at a time.

Chair yoga

Yoga with a chair for support, seated or standing, for anyone who finds getting down to the floor difficult. Groups of four, pay as you feel, no set price.

On request · email me

I want yoga to be open to everyone, including people who’ve found it hard to get to a class before. If cost, mobility or confidence has been in the way, chair yoga is a good place to start. No experience needed, and no getting down on the floor.

“The class participants loved your Chair Yoga class today!”

Bespoke classes

I’m happy to put together classes for small groups of friends, family or colleagues. Email me with a little about who’s coming and what you’d like, and I’ll plan something to suit.

The space

Deep blue walls, old floorboards, a wood-burning stove and a big bay window.

It’s cosy.  A calm, women-only space to practise. A quiet, private room that’s yours for the hour. Mats, bolsters, blankets and blocks are all here waiting for you, so come as you are, in something comfy, and leave the rest to me.
