About
Yoga extends beyond the shapes, so I let the shapes be informed by contemporary movement science.
It is my belief that anything that connects you to yourself, that creates harmony with the moment and absorbs you in either motion or stillness can be a Yoga. For some people this might happen while walking, swimming, climbing... For others it might be what they do on a mat and call a Yoga practice.
When I let go of the idea that only a specific practice (Ashtanga yoga in my case) could deliver a superior form of ‘Yoga’, I was left with the question of what to practise, what to teach? If it is possible to be equally present with any movement activity, whether it a sun salutation, a roll across the floor, an isometric hold… what should form the content of my classes?
It made sense to create movement sequences that would create ease and resilience in the unique individual bodies of those attending my classes. After extensive research and exploration I found a combination of movement modalities that could suit almost everyone. I create joyful classes that consider what current bio-mechanic and neuroscientific research says on how these flesh-suits of ours work, and what they respond well to.
A good practice becomes evident in students. It’s been a pleasure to work with people who might be older, injured or in pain and see every joint begin to free up and start moving again as they become stronger, more mobile and able to manoeuvre on and off the floor with greater ease and grace than they have had in decades.
I am an ‘Experienced’ Yoga Alliance Accredited Teacher, with many years of experience and training. It is my pleasure to work with all types of bodies and people.
