Teaching Style

Individualised instruction

I work one-on-one so that we can tailor the practice to you: your body type, health, age, goals, culture and capacity. 

​

There is no perfect pose​

Yoga is about becoming intimate with your unique breath and body. You know your body best, so you decide what's right for you. There is no need to replicate the shapes and patterns of others. 

​

Our breath is the guide

We move with our breath. We listen to our breath. We let our breath take us into postures and guide us out of them. 

​

​We enjoy what we are able to do

Your practice is what your body can do naturally. We don't push, cause pain or try to be what we're not. Yoga should be pleasurable participation in what already is, so you can feel the wonder that you already are. 

​

We act from the heart

Yoga helps us connect with what we are, what we care about and what we truly want. We bring love, compassion and joy into the practice. 

​

I teach as a friend and an equal​

I honour the intelligence in you. I am not a gate keeper of knowledge! I am aim to empower you so you can stand on your own two feet (figuratively speaking, of course; you can do yoga without feet!). 

​

We work towards a daily practice 

​You will get the most benefits from yoga if you practice everyday. It doesn't need to be long, even seven minutes a day is enough! I will support you to develop a daily practice that fits into your day and is suitable for your body. It took me five years to go from thinking, "I want a daily yoga practice," to realising, "I have a daily yoga practice". I know there are hurdles on the journey to a daily practice, so my job is to support and coach you so that yoga can support you and your life! 

​

We welcome everything 

Yoga isn't a dissociated holiday from life. It is direct participation in life! In our yoga sessions, we don't shy away from feelings, emotions and experiences. Instead, we let them move through us. And we allow yoga to support our daily life, creative pursuits and other goals. 

​

We unite opposites 

I practice yoga to integrate all the opposites in my life: the inhale and exhale, strength and softness, receptivity and release, masculine and feminine, the highs and lows, the professional and personal, the seen and unseen. I bring this to my teaching.
