About My Journey
I've been teaching yoga full time since I completed my first yoga teacher training in India in 2018. Since then, I have continued to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the depths of the body far beyond the physical. I have trained in various different disciplines of yoga, including Vinyasa, Yin & Restorative. As well as additional professional training in therapeutic and somatic disciplines; bringing all of this together into my unique teaching approach and therapeutic offerings.
During 2020-2023, I studied Yoga Therapy with The Minded Institute in London, graduating from their 3 year ‘Professional Diploma in Yoga Therapy’ in January 2023. I now offer Yoga Therapy as a therapeutic approach to helping the body heal from trauma, stress, and unresolved emotional and psychological tension that may be manifesting as physical and/or mental illness, chronic pain and chronic health conditions, sharing tools that help educate, empower and resource someone during the therapeutic process of recovery and interpersonal healing.
Somatic Yoga Classes
As a facilitator, I offer somatic and embodied yoga practices.
In this approach we explore the body through movement and felt-sense awareness. Classes emphasise sensing, feeling, and moving from subtle-body attunement; learning to tune in to the language and wisdom of the body and release patterns of tension or holding. This style of practice encourages movement and yoga postures /āsana/ to arise from deep awareness of internal sensations, movements, and directions of energy; enabling the body to flow naturally and freely with an emphasis on moving in ways that are true to your own inner rhythms.
Somatic Therapy
As a Yoga Therapist, I am here to support you on your personal journey of embodied healing from pain, suffering or trauma.
As a somatic therapeutic approach, this work is based on the understanding that the body and mind are deeply interconnected, and that therefore trauma, stress, and unresolved emotional and psychological tension can be held in the body and manifest as physical and mental illness, chronic pain and chronic health conditions.
I work with you to help you become aware of how your body might hold onto past experiences and emotions. By integrating elements of mindfulness, yoga, movement, breathwork, and touch, somatic therapy can help release deep layers of tension and emotion, move stuck energy, change unhelpful default patterns, and facilitate emotional processing on the journey towards healing and health.
