I aim to teach from a positive, gentle heart space.
Following 13 years of illness, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E), I embody the powerful healing effects that gentle yoga & Vedic chanting can bring, together with the art of practising a sense of self compassion.
yoga
I teach gentle yoga because it is slow, powerful, mindful and subtle. It works on a deep level and its many benefits are supported by a large body of scientific research.
I offer a safe space for students to explore the relationship they have with their physical, respiratory, emotional and mental bodies.
I am able to adapt the yoga tools to suit the individual - offering a tailor-made practice. You don’t have to be super flexible or bionic; if you can breathe and are conscious you can do yoga.
Vedic chanting
Vedic chanting and its precise use of sound, helps support the practitioner emotionally, mentally and spiritually, enabling the individual to move into a meditative healing place of calm and stability.
s a teacher, I aim to support students on their journey from learning how to pronounce the beautiful resonating words of sanskrit (the language of the Veda(s) at a mind level, to absorbing their effect at the level of the heart.
green
In 2020, I committed to ensuring the yoga & chanting I offer is as 'green' and sustainable as I am able (read more here)
sharing
For me, teaching yoga & Vedic chanting is a pure joy; it's a way of sharing my knowledge, experience, inspiration and positivity with others.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share the journey with you.

"I just wanted to say thank you for running such great classes last term and the theme of transformation couldn’t have been better.
Some weeks I even felt the thread running through the class was for me and me alone, and marvelled at how you could be so spot on!"

so why dandelions?
simply - I love them..
I thought this wasn't a good enough reason
but sometimes going with your gut reaction is a great way forward.
looking into their properties: bitter,
purifying , sunny, honey scented, strong, tenacious, passionate, grounded, ephemeral, catalytic, haloed, circular, delicate;
all make my heart sing.
so here you have it - a website full of dandelions and a logo invoking their circular seed heads, brightness (yellow circle), healing and 'green' sustainable yoga (green circle).
