YOGA

Yoga

I’m a Hackney-based yoga teacher, and I’ve been teaching for six years, though my own practice goes back to the 1990s, when I first discovered yoga. I teach Yin, Breath, Flow and Hatha in studios and 1-2-1 sessions. I also teach Pilates, which you can find out more about here.

Yin
Though I often teach Flow and Yang/Yin, Yin is at the heart of my teaching and where I’ve done the most training, in a lineage that goes back to the founders of the practice. Poses are held for several minutes, working gently into the deeper connective tissues and giving the nervous system a chance to shift out of fight-or-flight and into rest.

I’m fascinated by the nervous system and how we can calm the body to calm the mind. That’s what draws me to restorative styles and yoga nidra, which I love and weave into many of my Yin classes and workshops. Expect slow, restful sessions, often with sound to help you settle.

My training
I trained with Jo Phee in the Paul Grilley lineage, a functional approach to Yin and yoga more broadly, built on the understanding that every skeleton is different. The course included anatomy study at King’s College’s Bone Lab, looking at how variations in our bones shape what each pose looks and feels like in a body. That means I teach to what a pose does for you, not to how it should look.

I also trained in Yin with Norman Blair, and did my original 200-hour Hatha certification with Eleanor Ramsby-Herrera at Leyton Yoga (now FloYoga Leyton), which underpins my Flow and Hatha classes.

1-2-1 sessions
1-2-1s can be built around Yin, Flow, Hatha or a mix. If we feel it is of benefit to you personally, I sometimes bring in a few Pilates exercises woven skillfully alongside the yoga practice. I can book studio space in Finsbury Park or Manor House for 1-2-1s. Just drop me a line.
