My relationship with yoga began in my late teens, guided by an inner pull I didn’t fully understand at the time. What started as a weekly class gradually became a way of living. A practice of listening, observing, and returning to myself.  

For more than a decade, I’ve taught yoga from my private studio near Birchington-on-Sea on the Kent coast, creating a calm and welcoming space for people to slow down, reconnect, and rest more deeply within themselves.

Over the years, my work has evolved naturally toward slower, more meditative practices rooted in yin yoga, somatic movement, breath awareness, meditation, sound healing, and the wisdom of the Daoist Five Elements.

What interests me most now is not performance or achievement, but creating spaces that support nervous system restoration, quiet reflection, and a deeper connection to the rhythms of nature and the body.

My teaching is informed by many years of study with inspiring teachers and continued exploration through retreats, trainings, meditation practice, and ongoing curiosity about movement, healing, Taoism, seasonal living, and holistic wellbeing.  

The studio itself is an important part of the experience — a peaceful, intentionally small space surrounded by nature, designed to feel grounding, warm, and quietly held.

Alongside yin yoga workshops, I now offer sound healing gatherings, meditation circles, and occasional seasonal gatherings throughout the year.

 

Whether you arrive seeking rest, stillness, reconnection, or simply a little space to breathe, you are welcome here.

Return is the movement of the Tao. Yielding is the way of the Tao.
