Yoga & Breath

 

Inspired by the precision of alignment, synchronisation of breath and movement and calming power of meditation.

My yoga journey began 22 years ago whilst seeking balance in a busy professional career and has been my steadfast companion through menstruation, pregnancy, motherhood, perimenopause and menopause. I harness 12 years of teaching experience offering you a safe and supportive space to tune in to your body and let it guide you to cultivate a greater sense of ease and freedom to embrace your WHOLE SELF with love, kindness and compassion.

I am particularly interested in the therapeutic benefits of yoga and breath having personally experienced its healing power to overcome my autoimmune condition and manage symptoms through my menopause journey. I offer a unique combination of yoga, breath and somatic enquiry practices that have been tailored to support you in managing hormonal changes that can give rise to hot flushes and night sweats, stress and anxiety, insomnia and fatigue, joint pain and muscle weakness. Most importantly through these practices you will develop TRUST in your body and its cues for greater nourishment, pleasure and wellbeing.

Yoga for Strong Bones addresses the key pillars for sustaining bone strength which include stimulating the bones through weight bearing movement, muscular engagement and balance all in a strong but gentle and accessible way.

Enliven Your Body

This class is a simple and fun way to welcome energy, aliveness and clarity to your body and mind. A great practice when feeling fatigued, low in mood, a bit brainfoggy or just need a quick pick me up from sitting for too long.

Cooling and Calming Practice

This class aims to soothe the nervous system and deeply relax the mind and body providing relief to hot flushes, night sweats, irritability and sleeplessness.

Yoga for Pelvic Floor Health

This yoga class brings awareness to the pelvic floor and lower body through breath, gentle movement and deep relaxation. Starting with a long relaxation, we then bring gentle movement to the body, practicing yoga poses to bring tone and range of movement to the pelvic floor. Class ends with a guided lower body relaxation.

Meditation: Befriending your Whole Self

In this short meditation class, be guided through an embodied enquiry of the layers of your body (physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual) as a way of tuning into, welcoming and befriending your body. This is a really useful short practice to connect to yourself at the start of your day, before any yoga class and when you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress or overwhelm.

Gentle Yoga to Aid Digestion

This gentle yoga class begins with slow moving twists, side stretches and poses all designed to gently help support your digestive system. The class finishes with a seated practice to encourage strong posture and uses breath awareness to support digestive balance.
