I went to my first yoga class age 17 with my wonderful mum. It was Bikram yoga in Leicester. I loved the heat, the community and the backbends! 

I spent several years attending those gruelling 90 minute classes, learning the fundamentals of key asanas and foundations in alignment. But it wasn’t until I discovered my Vinyasa practice in my mid-twenties that I truly fell in love with yoga. 

Vinyasa gave me more than the structure of Bikram, rekindling the feeling of flow I’d experienced when dancing as a child. Being naturally flexible, my focus was becoming stronger. It took me years to master a headstand and pincha is coming! 

I feel very lucky to have found yoga so young. Over the years I have observed my asana practice deepen, as I slowly connected to drishti, bandhas and my breath. Gradually my understanding has spiralled deeper into self-enquiry, philosophy and mantra.

I completed my 200hr teacher training in Sun Power Yoga in Morocco in 2019. I’d love to tell you it was because I felt the call to teach, but to be honest I was sent by my mum to get me out of trouble. The two-week intensive course was the longest I’d gone without a glass of wine for a long time!

I didn’t teach straight away, it wasn’t until the summer of 2022, after a trip to Mexico that I felt I needed to teach. At the time, I wanted to teach the kind of classes I liked to practise: hard and preferably hot. But my teacher persuaded me to take start teaching Yin yoga. 

To my surprise, it suited me. Slowing down, holding a softer space and guiding people inward. What began as a weekly yin class has evolved into my Sacred Rest classes and other longer immersive workshops. 

Another thing that seemed to dove tail from my trip to Mexico was a deeping interest in Shamanism. Soon after returning, I began a year’s study into Sacred alchemy and Hynotherapy. I was introduced to the worlds of Carl Jung, archetypes, myth and more shamanic practices. 

The synchronicities started pinging, I was tapping into something deep and ancient but also new and familiar. It is my mission to enrich my offerings with these teachings, through symbolism and storytelling. 

I can’t forget to mention how important music is to me and my practice. When I teach, music isn’t just background noise: Its a portal and a guide. 

I returned to India in early 2024 to study Mandala Vinyasa Yoga. I fell in the love the practice: A strong but feminine methodology that weaves together yoga, the elements, music and ceremony. It felt like two worlds merging together - Yoga and Shamanism ~ Ceremony and movement. Every class precious and powerful. 

I’ve been alcohol free since early 2021. Stepping away from this sleepy substance felt like waking up from a deep slumber. Life was vivid and colourful again, my focus now on feeling alive: jumping into lakes, creating art and singing in the car.  How does this relate to yoga? Well, this spark of life, this joy, this vibrant aliveness is what I seek to cultivate when I practise, and I hope to share it with you when I teach. 

Each class I offer is a homecoming. Coming home to joy and presence and to the childlike creativity that lives deep within. My teaching combines yoga with story, music and ceremony to create a safe space for your to both soften and strengthen. 

My hope is that you leave feeling alive and that you’ll sing in the car on your drive home. 

See you on the mat.
