Yoga for people who don’t like yoga…

I am actually a yoga teacher, but I don’t teach traditional yoga - or anything that looks that much like yoga really.

I’ve always been passionate about making yoga inclusive and accessible.

The wellness and fitness industry can be daunting and even toxic - promoting certain body types and encouraging people to change their bodies. I’ve never taught yoga or movement in gyms or yoga studios for this reason. This is not what I’m about.

I believe that everyBODY has the right to move their body in a way that feels good for them, in a place that feels safe and welcoming.

For me, yoga isn’t about movement at all - it’s a way of seeing and relating to life.

It’s about connecting with yourself and your body, and the wisdom it can offer you.

It’s about finding your inner joy.

Joyful Movement…

Movement is part of being human, and can be such a joyful experience.

Unfortunately, the messages we get from society tell us that it's something we 'must' do in order to be 'fit' and change our bodies.

Watch young children - do they move because they 'have to', or do they move because they want to? Because it feels good!?

My Joyful Movement sessions are yoga-inspired, but really they are a mix of lots of different things I love – Tai Chi, dance, martial arts, kids yoga, improv, movements to improve coordination, group connection activities and body awareness. And also lots of general silliness and fun to get you out of your head and into your body!

Come find the joy in movement!

I believe that health includes having a healthy RELATIONSHIP with your body… 

There is nothing healthy about hating your body. And there’s definitely nothing healthy about moving your body because you hate it, want to change how it looks, or as a ‘punishment’ for what you ate!

All bodies deserve dignity, respect, care and nourishment. I reject the idea that health comes in a ‘size’ or in a particular way of moving, eating or in a certain lifestyle. 

You do not need to buy into diet culture’s messages about what health looks like. Your version of health is unique to you.

And you already have all the wisdom you need to be the expert of YOUR BODY.

You just need to learn to tune in and listen.
