I have been practicing yoga for over 17 years and involved in psychic and spiritual healing for almost 12. My yoga practice has provided a foundation and container for me through my own continued spiritual and self development. 

 

Yoga had an unexpected and profound effect on my life and my journey with it has become progressively more dedicated and involved. My study, practice and discovery of yoga continues, and could be described as a process of being, rather than becoming, as it teaches us to shed layers that inhibit our ability to see and accept ourselves as we are, rather than what we think we ought or want to be. 

 

My personal practice is Ashtanga, and I have studied with senior and certified teachers Elinore Burke, Kristina Karitinou, Hamish Hendry and Ryan Speilman and Corrie Ananda. While living in Central America, my current teachers are Pedro Rubio and Ame Hernandez. My own teacher training is in Hatha yoga and in 2017 I graduated from SOAS after completing MA Traditions of Yoga and Meditation (with distinction). Alongside Ashtanga, I often also practice Iyengar and all of these schools of yoga influence and inform my own teaching style. 

​

In addition to teaching yoga, I offer psychic readings and energetic healing work. I work intuitively and with spirit and the ancestral and angelic realms to help you connect to the divine intelligence of your own body, which aids in offering you guidance and healing on your soul journey and life path.

​

In addition to offering open yoga classes and 1:1 sessions, I teach courses online with The School of Intuition and Healing - Psychic Development and Course for Empaths.

 

Alongside Yogi's Choice Academy, offer teacher training certificates as part of yoga school I'm incredibly proud to be a part of. Yogi's Choice Academy is fully led by BIPOC facilitators and is welcome space to all and any, seeking to deepen their own knowledge of yoga or wanting to go on to become a qualified teacher.​

​

I'm currently writing my first book, exploring personal transformation, yoga and social change. I’ve studied Eastern and Western philosophy extensively and woven this knowledge experientially into my own life and now am excited to share more through my writing. Yoga is an ancient practice and I believe a self-technology that allows us to reconnect to our natural state of bliss. It is a holistic practice that recognises the importance and balance of the mind, the body and the soul. When we truly connect to this, it's affects are truly transformational - for ourselves and for the world. 

 

I often find there isn't a definitive line between the results of my work as a teacher and as a therapeutic space holder. As a yoga teacher, my aim is to build strength, openness and balance within the body as well as the mind. As an energy healer, my aim is to reflect where you need more care and to attune your physical and energetic body. I allow you to feel held by offering space for you to explore your inner and sensate world more deeply, Both allow for a process of reflection, somatic experience and inner connection. As a psychic, my intention is help you find a connection to your own intuition more strongly, while offering messages that confirm to you spirit is close and always with you.​

​

I'm passionate about yoga and the power of holistic therapeutics and making them accessible to everyone. I work with mixed ability groups and individuals and can tailor my teaching to meet my students needs and goals. I am here to guide, strengthen and encourage you on your own journey of self-discovery.
