My Approach

I firmly believe in the healing power of movement, the way we move affects every part of our being and how we live and experience life influences the way we move. I am fascinated by the human body and its potential for movement, but I am concerned with how our bodies and minds are adapting to the high levels of inactivity, stress, and repetitive positioning associated with modern life

To move more may be simple but it is not always easy. There are many complicated factors involved in our willingness and ability to engage in physical activity. I am interested in breaking down the barriers and making movement accessible and practical for all bodies.

 

In my teaching, I prioritise function over aesthetics, rather than solely focusing on traditional yoga poses I incorporate a diverse range of functional movements that are applicable to daily life. With an emphasis on postural alignment, mobility, and body awareness, my classes are designed to cultivate strength, resilience, and a deeper mind-body connection.

Finding the why

As a teacher, I have come to realise that simply instructing students to move their bodies in a certain way is not always enough. For real, lasting change to occur, it is important to understand the motivations behind our movements and positions. As a teacher, it is my role to help students make sense of cues and instructions. By understanding why are we being instructed to move in a specific way, or hold a particular pose we gain a greater sense of autonomy and empowerment. It is through this deeper understanding, combining knowledge with felt experience that we establish a stronger connection between our mind, body, and nervous systems.

It has taken me a long time to build a healthy relationship with my own body. A journey that has shaped my approach to teaching and guiding others toward nurturing their bodies. I aim to share my knowledge and empower others in their own movement journeys. I continuously expand my skills and deepen my understanding through ongoing education, training, and self-study.
