About
I went to my first yoga class wide eyed and aged 16. I sweated a lot, wobbled a lot, but walked out feeling amazing! In the proceeding 25 years, stepping on to my mat has been the thing I’ve retuned to again and again throughout life’s ups and downs. One thing I love about practicing yoga is that it has evolved and changed to suit me. In my early 20’s, I loved a strong physical practice. And now, aged 41, having been through surgery and treatment for breast cancer and also having given birth and parenting a toddler, my practice is slower, gentler and more mindful with lots of space just to breathe!
I taught popular weekly classes in the Helston & Falmouth area for many years, before a couple of moves and have now settled with my family near Penzance where I am beginning to re-build my business after an extended maternity break. I devised and taught popular Aromatherapy Yoga classes for special events at private gatherings or hen-do’s and at UK Festivals: Port Eliot and The Great Estate where between 10 - 60 students attended each session. I have also frequently collaborated with and taught on Horizon Inspired retreats with my good friend, author and meditation facilitator Joey Hulin.
I am a qualified TRE Provider and I am able to share the benefits of Tension & Trauma Release Exercises with you online or in person. In 2019, I created Soul Sundays - monthly mini retreat mornings which tended to sell out within a day, these are now becoming re-ignited, watch this space!
In my teaching, I draw on many years of study with internationally renowned teachers such as Elena Brower, Ally Bogard and Bridget Woods Kramer who have helped me develop my own self-care toolkit and ways of teaching to assist with feeling stronger and more at ease in the body and also calmer and more peaceful in the mind.
When I’m not on the mat, I’m mostly running around after my toddler, walking the dog in West Penwith or spending time with my family and good friends.
