Sharing inclusive yoga practices for a deeper connection between body and mind

Having practised yoga for years I began to teach in Dumfries and Galloway in 2018 after completing the Yoga Scotland 500 hours teacher training diploma. Yoga has such power to change peoples’ lives; it’s wonderful to be able to share it with others.

​I think of yoga as a deeply individual experience so I offer classes that invite students to explore, finding their own unique space between gentle and deep every time they practice. We keep the breath at the heart of each practice, whether we’re working through flowing sequences or releasing into a single posture.

I’m committed to making yoga as inclusive as possible, with the language we use in class as well as the postures we practice. My teaching is trauma informed following training with The Yoga Clinic . I’m interested in yoga as ’embodied movement’: using the unique sensations of the body to stay present, develop awareness and self knowledge. I’m inspired by approaches such as Somatics and Feldenkrais and the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli, Pete Blackaby and Gary Carter.
