Teaching since 2014, my classes encompass the traditional Ashtanga primary series, fluid Vinyasa, meditation, and specialised yoga for pregnancy and postnatal care. My training began with Yoga Campus and has since evolved through immersive study with Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Yoga Like Water.
My personal practice has been a steady anchor through many life transitions, including three of my own pregnancies. Because of this, I am a big believer in the power of consistency, returning to the mat time and again to find both surrender and strength.
Beyond the studio, I have been based in North Devon since 2021, where my broader work is dedicated to holding space for others as a Doula, Grief Coach, and a support worker for women affected by the criminal justice system.

Description
Curious about Ashtanga but not sure you're ready for it? This is the way in.
Ashtanga has a reputation for being strict and a little intimidating: the set sequence, the structure, a room full of people who seem to already know exactly what they're doing. This class quietly takes all of that apart. Week by week we work through the opening of the same traditional sequence, slowly, with time to actually learn each posture and the breath that goes with it. Nothing is assumed, and nothing is rushed.
Some people use this as their way into our Saturday Ashtanga class. Others find it's exactly the pace they want, and simply stay. Both are completely right.
What to expect:
At your own pace: We take the beginning of the Primary Series slowly, so you learn it properly rather than scrambling to keep up.
Modified for you: Every posture has an option. You do the version that suits your body on the day.
No expectations: You don't need to be flexible, strong, or experienced. You just need to be curious.
An hour to move, breathe, and get to know a practice that rewards turning up.
