There are plenty of utterly lovely people and studios in the yoga world, but sadly there is also a LOT of cliquey-ness, aloofness and underlying pressure to fit in or compete. And plenty of opportunity to feel like a failure because you can’t sit on the floor comfortably, let alone make some of the daft shapes the Western yoga world seems to revolve around.

The thing I strive for is to make my classes truly accessible and open to all. I’m sure I don’t always succeed and it’s a continued learning process for me too. And I know that it will even put some people off. But I can only teach what I feel is right. So I believe in offering an antidote to intimidating yoga classes, a space where you feel safe to explore body, breath and mind, secure enough to go within and really ‘be’ with yourself, an opportunity to spend a precious hour discovering pure awareness.

When I teach, the emphasis is on what feels right for YOU, not anybody else. I’m happiest if I see variations in the class, as I know it means people feel safe enough to move in a way that suits them, in that moment.
