Your Host
My aim is to teach from a deeply intuitive place, drawing on a lifetime of body work and self-inquiry. I hope to empower those who lead busy lives with tools to regain their balance, energy, focus and explore their lighter side. I design yoga programmes to empower EVERY BODY from within, helping to gain a can do attitude and leave feeling charged to conquer life with their new tools.
The longer I teach, the more I realise how paramount it is for each student to feel supported and guided to practice safely, mindful yet challenged to explore their best abilities, within a nurturing and safe environment.
⤐ 1 x 75 minute post-flight Yoga Flow
⤐ 3 x 120 minute morning Dynamic Vinyasa
⤐ 3 x 90 minute Gentle Flow and Yin
⤐ Optional Workshops e.g. Yoga Philosophy, Arm balances & Inversions, Alignment, Breathwork for stress
⤐ Optional last morning class, 45mins
(Total: 15hrs)
