I offer classes online and in person, and I have a special interest in yoga’s capacity to cultivate creativity. My teaching draws on more than twenty years of personal yoga practice, and my interest in yoga philosophy, anatomy and the restorative effects of yoga, as well as my extensive experience of working in the arts. 

My classes emphasize the simple pleasure of breath-led mindful movement. I welcome people of all abilities with a practice that offers a space to tune in to what is going on in the body, mind, spirit and emotions. The aim is to help you find stillness and energy on the mat so you can reconnect with the world around you.

Through my teaching, I acknowledge the vast breadth and depth of yoga, a system that incorporates physical, mental, spiritual and ethical practices. Yoga’s roots began five millennia ago in South Asia, and the practice has developed in myriad ways thanks to a long lineage of teachers. It continues to be explored through contemporary scientific research into the effects of embodied mindfulness practices, which also informs my classes. 

In summer 2020 I completed an RYS-accredited 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training under the guidance of Naomi Annand, founder of Yoga On The Lane in East London, and Adam Hocke.

In 2020 I was the recipient of a Time Space Money bursary from an: The Artists Information Company, to develop my course ‘Cultivating Creativity with Yoga’, which I have since taught independently, as well as to artists on the London Creative Network, at Yoga on the Lane, and to writing and curating students at Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London.

In 2021, I qualified as a Level 1 iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation teacher.
