a practice of coming home

Yoga has been a constant thread throughout my life, offering me a way to come home to myself through periods of change, uncertainty and growth. Today, it is a privilege to share this practice throughout Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire in the UK, where I live.

My yoga teaching is informed by over 800 hours of training and draws from a range of disciplines, including Women's Health, Menstrual and Hormone Health, Cyclical Living, Feminine Embodiment, Yoga Nidra and the Art of Transformational Sleep, Yin and Restorative Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Womb and Pelvic Care Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga.

I have regular classes at Waresley Park Estate in Waresley, near Sandy and at the Courtyard Centre for Health and Wellbeing in Biggleswade.

My training

In 2022 I completed my first 200-hour yoga teacher training in Bali, Indonesia. It was the beginning of a deeper journey—one which continues to unfold.

I returned to Bali in 2023 and 2024 to expand my practice, completing a 100-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training followed by a 100-hour Women Rewilding Training which deepened my knowledge of women’s health, cyclical wisdom, and vitality—and has become central to how I teach and live. In 2025 I returned to Bali to do another 100-hour teacher training in the Art of Teaching Yoga and a 50-hour course in Kirtan and Bhakti Yoga.

In spring 2026, I traveled to Rishikesh, India, to complete a 200-hour Himalayan Kundalini Kriya Yoga teacher training. I then continued my studies in Bali, completing a 25-hour course in Yoga Nidra: The Art of Transformational Sleep at the Yoga Barn in Ubud, followed by a 50-hour Womb and Pelvic Care course.

I am grateful to have learnt from some of the most inspiring teachers and gurus from across the world, including many who are leaders in their fields. I hold particular gratitude to Bex Tyrer who has been a great source of inspiration, and who has been generous with her time and her work. I also want to credit Uma Dinsmore Tuli and The Red School who have also been an empowering source of guidance, wisdom and inspiration.

We enter this world needing to rest and be held — and we leave it in the same way. This is one of the reasons I love restorative yoga. It’s one of the few places where we can allow ourselves to do this. There is something deeply vulnera
The other day, someone told me I was glowing. And whilst there are plenty of days when I’m definitely NOT glowing (today being one of them!) it did make me stop and think about what might be creating that glow. I no longer work in an office.
The first time I came across the chakras was on a wall hanging in my local yoga studio. At the time, I wasn’t a teacher. I was simply intrigued by these strange and beautiful symbols, although I had absolutely no idea what they meant. Fast fo
