Originally influenced by the sequencing of Vinyasa, and with a keen interest in anatomy and how our bodies function, I combine innovative movement with traditional yoga poses, creating mindful full body flows to improve mobility, stability and strength. As well as empowering you to discover how your body should move, I aim to provide the tools to sustain movement for the long term - whatever your age, ability or current experience.
Yoga and movement have massively benefited my mental health and I actively promote that this practice is more than just physical. Spending time on my mat, focusing on the movement and physical sensations, emphasises the importance of being present in the moment and finding a sense of peace. Through a consistent practice, I have improved my quality of sleep and social functioning, enhanced my spiritual wellbeing and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
I like to think of myself as living proof of the amazing physical and mental benefits of this practice. I most definitely practice what I preach!
30 minutes of simply moving, starting with a full body shake down. A short sequence to start or end your day or even squeeze somewhere int the middle.
Spend 60 minutes flexing, extending and twisting as you build flexibility and resilience in your spine.
The most used parts of our bodies are the ones we tend to neglect. Using simple, uncomplicated exercises, build resilience in these joints to aid your everyday, functional movement.
Mobilise, strengthen and stretch - when you're short on time but want to add some movement to your day, this is the ideal class!
Take time out to mobilise your neck, shoulders and wrists and release tension in the upper body. A great sequence for anyone working on a computer or using their upper body continuously.

As well as moving your spine in all directions to improve mobility, we'll work through some lower body control work to test and develop your strength and stability. No props required unless you usually like to add blocks to your practice.
