Y O G A

Yoga is a practice of the self, through the self, to the self. It is not just a class, but a way of living; a practical path that builds strength, vitality, and inner steadiness. It teaches us to observe the mind, understand our patterns, and direct our energy with purpose.

At its heart, Yoga reminds us that everything is energy. When the mind is scattered or the body tense, we lose connection to ourselves. When breath, body, and awareness come into balance, our decisions become simpler and our lives more coherent.

How I came to Yoga:

I first turned to Yoga in my early twenties during bereavement, when I was experiencing panic attacks. The practice offered something I hadn't found anywhere else: steadiness inside the chaos.

I wasn't ready to commit fully then, but I knew Yoga would become central to my life when the moment was right. Years later, after my mother's death, I returned to it completely. It became the foundation that helped me restore my health, rebuild my confidence, and set the course for an entirely new way of living.

Why I Teach This Way

I trained in the Sivananda tradition in Kerala, completing my 500-hour teacher training with Swami Govindananda Saraswati. I chose this path deliberately. I wanted to learn from monks, to immerse myself in a tradition with lineage tracing back to 800 AD, and to understand a non-Western view of life's meaning.

I've stayed close to this lineage for over twelve years because depth comes from commitment. Following one path allows the practice to work through you. Some days feel expansive, others challenging, but staying with it is what creates transformation.

This consistency forms the backbone of my teaching: a steady rhythm that calms the mind, strengthens the body, and brings you back to yourself.

With regular practice, you begin to notice more ease in your decisions, more spaciousness in your thinking, and a quiet confidence that carries into your work and daily life. This isn't about achieving the perfect pose, it's about returning to yourself, again and again, with honesty and compassion..

“Just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to do the practice with you. You are so knowledgeable and passionate about yoga and create sessions that leave you feeling energised and ready to start the day” Sara, Italy

SWAMI GOVINDANANDA SARASWATI
They say your teacher appears when the student is ready. I had the fortune of meeting Swami Govindananda on a trip to Kerala in 2013 and have appreciated his guidance since. A true master of energy management and delivering Yogic philosophy in an uncomplicated and practical way to apply to our contemporary Western lifestyles. He taught me the benefits of teaching and practising slowly to feel a deep sense of peace.
