I was advised to begin practicing yoga to help relieve mental health problems and immediately found it to be hugely beneficial in managing my symptoms. I quickly realised it was a powerful tool to relax and calm the body and mind, building a yoga and meditation practice into my daily life. Also suffering regularly from Sciatic pain, I found my yoga practice not only relievensymptoms, but eventually make sciatic problems a thing of the past. I have now been practicing yoga and meditation for over 25 years and have a wealth of experience to offer, particularly in mental health, due to my own experience in this area. I am passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, somatics, meditation snd mindfulness to as many people as possible, both adults and children alike through my teaching, as it has helped me so much over the years.

Sunshine and light yoga classes involve relaxation and breathing exercises, together with yoga postures to promote a relaxed, healthy mind and body. The postures (asanas) aim to stretch out the body, improve strength and flexibility, as well as general fitness and health. The guided relaxation and mindfulness calms the body and mind.
Yoga is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. Please contact me in order to book in prior to attending a yoga class, so we can discuss any specific needs with you. I offer adaptations for those who may require it.
Sound healing is an ancient art used for thousands of years for calming and tuning the mind while re-balancing the body by releasing tension and subtle energetic blockages. A sound bath is deeply relaxing and simple yet profound way to connect with the centre of our being. I use the healing sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal bowls, Gongs, Hang pan, Shamanic Drum, Flow chines, Koshi Bells, Rainstick and Native American Flute to name but a few.
