☾​

This one off class is an exploration of body listening and body acceptance through the wilder lens.

Wild Woman Yoga is a womxn's yoga class that fluctuates with the phases of the moon.

An invitation to stay connected to the seasons and cycles of our bodies and nature through movement, rest and connection.

Suitable for pregnancy, all phases of the menstrual cycle, menopause & open to all who identify as womxn with or without cycles.

My work is inclusive of but not exclusive to those with wombs and periods. You don't have to have a womb or periods to practice with me or join a circle but if you do I'm here to accommodate that.

'The idea in our culture of body solely as sculpture is wrong. Body is not marble. That is not its purpose. Its purpose is to protect, contain, support and fire the spirit and soul within it, to be a repository for memory, to fill us with feeling - that is the supreme psychic nourishment. It is to lift us and propel us, to fill us with feeling to prove that we exist, that we are here, to give us grounding, heft, weight. It is wrong to think of it as a place we leave in order to soar to the spirit. The body is the launcher of those experiences. Without body there would be no sensations of crossing thresholds, there would be no sense of lifting, no sense of height, weightlessness. All that comes from the body. The body is the rocket launcher. In its nose capsule, the soul looks out the window into the mysterious starry night and is dazzled.' ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Your Experience

​

Periods

If you have periods this class will offer cycle adaptions and each week we explore practices for the different seasons of the cycle but cyclical living isn't only the remit of people with periods so you totally don't have to have periods to join us.

​

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant you are welcome to join from 14 weeks onwards, let me know when booking and I will offer supportive practices and adaptations. If you want to join before 14 weeks you are welcome to join the restorative new moon weeks. If you are a pregnancy yoga teacher or yoga teacher with a good awareness of how to take care of yourself in pregnancy then contact me and we can discuss. If you really want to join before 14 weeks please don't come without telling me we can work something out :) 

​

Post Natal & Lactating

You are welcome to join after 6 weeks or when you are ready to return to movement, let me know when booking and I will offer supportive practices and adaptations. Babies and children always welcome online and in person. 

​

Menopause

This practice is intended to be supportive of all cycle phases and life stages, let me know on booking and I will offer supportive practices and adaptations.

​

Non-Binary Gender Expressions

Where a class, womxn's circle or retreat is aimed at womxn, it is open to all who identify as womxn without question.

​​

Explorations of the Feminine are inherently inclusive and as such open to all including any person who identifies as a woman, any expression or identification of femininity as well as non-binary gender expressions.
