I’ve practiced yoga for many years and took my first steps into teaching in Nursery Schools across the Manchester area. Seeing first hand the impact I was able to have through guiding my pupils into a space of self regulation, awareness and autonomy was a joy! Inspired, I completed my teacher training with the Himalayan Yoga Association (300 hr) and moved to the stunning South West, where endless skies meet staggering tors, it’s hard not to feel connected down here.

I’m entirely grateful to be able to be apart of people’s journey into mindful living and it’s such a privilege to meet individuals from all walks of life and find a centred connection with them on our mats. I passionately advocate for wellness spaces being an accessible safe environment that contributes to improving communal support for mental wellbeing.

“The success of Yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships”

— T.K.V. Desikachar

 FAQs

  • While you are always welcome to bring your own equipment, we do provide mats, blocks, straps and bolsters.

  • Absolutely not. Asanas (poses) can be modified for every students unique abilities and needs. Although flexibility is a happy biproduct of a regular practice, it is never an expectation. Physical achievement is secondary to a mindful attitude towards our mind and body.

  • Whatever you’re comfortable in!

  • It’s best to allow food 1-2 hours to digest before we practice as the body needs energy for digestion and if we are expending our energy on our muscle movement in practice, we cannot digest our food properly.

  • Yoga is for us all. If we are young, old, pregnant, living with health conditions, looking for improved fitness, looking for spiritual development, our practices can be applied to all our unique needs. There is no requirement other than simply bringing yourself to a mat.
