I came to yoga over twenty years ago, almost by accident. A friend encouraged me to join her for a class, and despite thinking yoga wasn’t for me, that first experience quietly shifted something. For the first time, movement felt like a whole-being practice — both strengthening and deeply calming. Yoga soon became a steady presence in my life.

Over the years, yoga has supported me through periods of challenge as well as growth, offering grounding, balance and a more compassionate relationship with myself. What began as a personal practice gradually evolved into a deeper calling.

In 2016, I completed my initial 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (in Hatha and Vinyasa) at Ashiyana Yoga School. I was guided by a desire to work within the field of wellbeing and share the practices that I had found so beneficial. Yoga continues to be central to how I stay connected, well and grounded, and I teach from lived experience — honouring both strength and softness.

Retreats have also been an important part of my journey. After attending my first retreat in 2008, taking time away from daily life each year became a meaningful form of nourishment and self-care. I now host my own regular programme of yoga retreats to provide others with the opportunity to rest and reconnect.

My intention is for people to leave class feeling strong, positive, peaceful and more balanced in both body and mind. 

In my classes, I create a feel-good journey. There is space to follow your instincts, sometimes closing the eyes and moving intuitively, and at other times being guided through strong, energising breathing exercises and mindful movement. Stillness is woven in just as intentionally, allowing the body and nervous system to fully absorb the practice.

My teaching is a true mind-body experience. I work with music and silence, thoughtful cues, and gentle reflections that invite awareness without overthinking. The atmosphere is light-hearted and welcoming, while still holding space for depth, insight, and meaningful connection.

I encourage curiosity over perfection, self-trust over striving, and enjoyment over effort. Whether a class is dynamic or slow, the aim is the same: to help people feel more alive, more at ease, and more connected to themselves — both on and off the mat.

I completed my initial 200 hours yoga teacher training in 2016 with Ashiyana Yoga School on a unique course which was held both in the UK and India.

It was a journey of inner discovery through the exploration of ancient and contemporary yoga practices. I am very grateful to have been guided by Linda D’Antal, whose wisdom and depth of knowledge as a senior teacher and founder of Treehouse Yoga and the Mandala technique have been truly inspiring. This experience deeply shaped both my personal practice and the foundations of my teaching.

Since then, I have continued to train extensively. I studied Yin and Advanced Yin Yoga with the ‘King of Yin’, Norman Blair, 2019-2020 and have gone on to assist on his training programmes at the Yoga Campus.

I am an avid reader and lifelong student of yoga, wellbeing, and self-discovery, and I regularly attend workshops, courses, and trainings to deepen my understanding and to continue offering rich, informed practices to my students.

My continuing development includes the study of acroyoga, partner and group yoga, mindfulness meditation, chakra studies, Yoga Nidra, Shakti Dance (the dance of yoga), Kemetic (African) yoga, circle facilitation, reflexology, Indian head massage, and Ballet Barre.

Alongside teaching, a significant part of my work now involves organising and hosting international retreats. My background in managing projects and events has given me the confidence and skills to create retreats that are both well-organised and deeply nourishing.
