Your Host
I am an experienced Yoga teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience. Specialising in Yin Yoga, and Seasonally inspired Hatha and Qi Gong, my teaching style supports students to find the best alignment in a pose for their own body. My classes are themed around functional movement and mobility to transfer into daily life.
I like to adopt a harmonised approach to my teaching by including other tools such as meditation, breath work, journaling to enhance wellbeing and balance. My background as a fitness professional and my knowledge of the moving body allows me to offer an adaptive and structured approach to sequencing my classes.
