PRENATAL // YIN
Describe your classes in 3 word
Gentle, soul-soothing & authentic
What is your story with Yoga?
A very classic ‘yoga changed my life’ kind of a story of being 19, completely confused, living in London and struggling with self-worth etc. A friend of mine took me to a hot yoga class and my yoga journey began with discipline, lots of sweat and so so many tears. As soon as I reached the point of release and was allowing myself to cry and let go I knew I wanted to share this practice and support others in their journeys of self-love.
How would students feel after attending one of your classes?
Held, loved and shining – and a feeling of insight – like there was something to learn and work with
What influences your style of teaching?
Intuition, people (teachers, friends, family, students), the energy, nature, my own experiences, philosophy.

Whats the best piece of advice you've received?
Mmm Anitya from a Vipassana meditation course I did a couple of years ago – I finally understood the concept of impermanence, that everything is always changing – I feel like so many people have told me this before but only then I really understood the meaning

Sleeping in, swimming in the sea, a long walk and homemade Pizza
