My classes aim to:

• Be Accessible: I make classes as affordable as possible and teach in spaces rooted in the local community. I want students to understand the purpose behind their practice, so I make explanations as straightforward as possible

• Be Inclusive: I am committed to serving diverse people, reflecting the diversity of the local community. People of all abilities, genders, sexualities, ethnicities, religions, ages and body types are welcome in my classes. 

• I want everyone to feel welcome and supported and offer adaptations and options throughout sessions. 

• Honour Yoga’s roots: Yoga is an ancient wisdom tradition from India and South Asia, which is now taught across the world and often oversimplified. As a white British yoga teacher, I am on a lifelong journey to study yoga, honour its roots and teachings, and express gratitude and repayment to the places and people for whom yoga is part of their heritage.

• Be less hierarchical: While I will guide you through practice and share my experience and learnings with you, the practice is yours. I welcome you to connect to your body and make decisions (often intuitive ones), or ask questions, so that you can get what you need from the practice.

• Encourage curiosity and observation: Let's get curious and humble. Let's learn through observing ourselves, our experiences, and our patterns. Let’s bring playfulness and come to the practice with an openness and a sense of exploration.

My teaching style is warm and soulful, drawing from over 10 years of experience working in inclusive community roles, charities, and the arts. 

I hope you will leave feeling centred, calm, and more connected with your breath, body and spirit. I believe in the transformative power of yoga.

I am also the co-founder of The RISE Collective:https://therisecollective.org.uk
