Rising with the sun to move our way into the morning. Like an extended first morning stretch followed by a short yoga nidra to help land into the day feeling replenished, refreshed and rested ♥

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Arrive early for a coffee or tea, a chat if you want to anytime from 6:20am BST.

Mostly a slow flow and hatha combo. 

My intention is for you to move in tune with your body, your needs, your rhythms. As such the practice will be an invitation for you to explore the pace, energy and effort level that feels good for you.

You are invited to take or leave as much of the guidance as is useful and use suggestions as a jumping off point for your own practice. 

You are also welcome to follow along with all of the guidance if you don't feel like thinking or interoception doesn't feel comfortable to you in the moment. 

Expect a mix and match blend of:

• Pranayama (breath work) 
• Meditation
• Yoga asana (physical yoga) guided by you and your rhythms - I offer invitations, suggestions and many different options so that you can begin to find the ways you feel like moving 
• Some weeks we take a short Yoga Nidra to close (Deep Relaxation practice)

MY TEACHING STYLE 

I love...

When it comes to yoga I love to work hard, play hard and rest incredibly hard! I like to sweat, dance, roll around, laugh, cry, try things I don't think I can do, explore things I love and liberate myself from the confines of structure and form to invoke feelings of freedom and wildness.

I love to explore challenge as I feel yoga can reveal to us that we are capable of so much more than we think we are and helps to challenge self-limiting beliefs.

Working Towards Being Completely Permissive & Inclusive

I seek to offer an inclusive, supportive, autonomous and nurturing environment which offers the space and freedom to explore the practice in a way that suits and serves your ever shifting mental, physical and emotional needs. I am defiant and rebellious and don't enjoy being told what to do so I try not to tell you what to do either and instead use permissive invitational language whilst still providing enough containment to hold the practice space safely.

My intention: Freedom

My intention as a teacher is to invite the exploration of freedom and unearth the many individual pathways to liberation through movement, self enquiry, meditation, breath, community and rest. Exploring resistance, defences and habitual patterns through the lens of movement, meditation and relaxation to discover the freedom to breathe well, move well and live well. ​

I offer: Wildness 

I offer movement inspired by our wild nature; playful, spontaneous, fluid, cyclical, rhythmic and self-guided and regularly weave stories, themes and ideas from daily life and nature into the practices. My teachings are very much rooted in the modern day whilst also drawing inspiration from the traditions of the practice and the old ways.

I choose: Honesty 

I choose to bring the truth of how I feel to each and every class because I truly believe the more human we can be with each other, the easier it becomes for us to be human.
