Yoga, Movement + Meditation Facilitator
Yoga
I am an accredited yoga teacher, and the classes I currently offer include Pregnancy + Postnatal Yoga, Hatha, Yin, Restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra. It is my aim in each session to invite a connection between body, breath and mind.
I offer group and one to one sessions, both in person and online. I lead weekly classes at Margate Yoga Studio and 1:1 classes at ‘earth Studio’ in my community home.
I reverence the movements of nature ~ such as the seasons and phases of the moon ~ and reflect these in my classes by weaving relevant themes into the structure of each class. I curate my classes like I would choreograph a dance; there is an energetic arc, a balanced journey through postures like the rising and falling of the tide, which invites a subtle journey inward.
My pregnancy classes are curated to support you physically, mentally and spiritually through your pregnancy and birth. We will move through a creative blend of yoga, movement, breathwork and meditation, supporting you to listen to and trust your body.
You can expect:
❁ A class that is safe and supportive for pregnancy
❁ Movement for your body to feel spacious and open
❁ Stabilising and strengthening practices for your body and mind
❁ Breathing exercises for calm and balance
❁ Space to feel connection with your baby
❁ Birth preparation techniques - suitable for all birth choices

Movement + Embodiment
I started dancing before I could talk, and since then, embodiment has always been present in my life in one form or another. I trained with the Royal Ballet School when I was very young, and went on to dance professionally for about a decade.
To me, embodiment is the most effective means of communication and connection; it feels like a moving meditation, and can truly align our inner and outer worlds. It takes me somewhere that no books or words ever have reached. And this is why I use dance and movement to support people to connect with their heart of hearts.
Embodiment can provide the most safe and reliable foundation for giving birth; a pathway to feeling grounded in your own power, and connected to your inner ancient wisdom.
The body is the doorway to rest, and rest holds the key to contentment.
Meditation
I completed my meditation teacher training in India, following the ancient yogic tradition. The majority of the meditation I share is inspired by practices which I have learned from my Ordained Buddhist teachers.
I teach various styles of meditation, all focused around compassion and awareness, and deeply rooted in connection to the body, breath and natural world.
Meditation can encourage an alignment of body and mind; an inner peace and deeper understanding of oneself. I weave meditation practices through my yoga and sound healing sessions, and my antenatal appointments with clients.
R.E.S.T:
RESTorative Embodied sound therapy
The body is the doorway and the mind holds the key…
R.E.S.T. (Restorative Embodied Sound Therapy) closes the gap between the body and the mind, and helps to connect you to your inner wisdom, a place of deep serenity and clarity.
R.E.S.T. is for you if you are looking to feel grounded in the wisdom of your body, establish a calm mind free of anxiety, and relax into a regulated nervous system.
Each session includes some - or all - of the following:
❁ Sound Healing
❁ Yoga & Somatic Movement
❁ Meditation & Yoga Nidra
❁ Breathwork
❁ Nervous System Reset techniques
❁ Vocal Toning
My 1:1 sessions are in person at my peaceful home studio 'earth Studio' in Margate, or online. I also offer group taster events
