I promise to stay curious, to keep learning and to keep adapting my practice and my teaching to both my needs and the needs of my students & clients.

​

I am an experienced teacher who feeds my own enthusiasm for learning and sharing knowledge by doing exactly that. Through relevant cuing, attention to detail and a trained eye, I guide my students on their journey towards a heightened proprioception (the awareness of our body in space) and interoception (the awareness of our internal landscape). I do this with the intention to empower students to move and to live in & to trust their bodies with more confidence and ease.

​

I draw inspiration from outside traditional yoga asana and pranayama techniques, but always keep in mind the purpose of yoga, which is connection and working towards equanimity, in order to enable us to find joy in all areas of life.

 

Furthermore, I firmly believe that movement and self-development practices should be fun and sometimes challenging, but never torture. They should lift us up, not tread us down. 

​

Why yoga?

​

Yoga came to me in the shape of a hot vinyasa yoga studio in Sheffield. The freedom I experienced from those first classes was completely new to me. To be able to move in a non-judgemental, non-competitive environment and still feel seen, was so new and special. I honestly feel like I spent all the years before yearning for exactly what this practice offered me then and continues to do so now: better connection with myself and the people around me. My practice will be ever-changing and evolving, but lifelong. 

​

Why breathwork?

​

Whilst simple pranayama techniques had always been a part of my practice for a while, I was introduced to other breathing practices such as the Wim Hof Method & Conscious Connected breathing later. These breathing practices have empowered and inspired me in many ways. My practice is now very intuitive and broad and, always, nervous-system informed.
