Powerful Pause Yoga

‘Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.’

This beautiful Sanskrit prayer translates to:

“May all beings everywhere be happy and free,
and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life
contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all”.

So many of us are longing to find peace, to slow down, to quieten our minds and return to a simpler way of being. Yoga helps us to do that by bridging the gap between our hearts and our minds, and each other.

When we take time to heal and transform ourselves, we have the power to transform our world.

Happy & free

For me yoga is love

For me yoga is love. It starts with meeting all parts of yourself with acceptance and sweetness. It’s a devotion and commitment to loving yourself enough to show up every day, no matter how you’re feeling. There is no ego or pressure. It’s just about you and your practice. I am a 400-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with a passion for women’s health and a penchant for Buddhism, neuroscience, nervous system healing and somatic movement. I’m super passionate about exploring the wisdom within our bodies and guiding people back to themselves through that delicious breath-body-mind connection. It’s magic!

  • I offer private one-to-one classes throughout Bedfordshire, the surrounding areas and online. Classes can take place either online or in the comfort of your own home. I love teaching one-to-one classes because I can completely tailor the session to you. I also offer private tuition for small groups, healthy hen parties, sports clubs and more.

  • Yoga is the ideal antidote to days spent at your desk. Reduced stress and improved health equates to greater creativity and productivity. It’s a win-win for everyone! A typical office yoga class will stretch out tired and tight muscles, strengthen and tone the whole body and induce a sense of calm and relaxation with breathing and meditation practices.

    Prices vary with the amount of students per group so please contact me to discuss. I operate a 24h cancellation policy with private sessions. If a class is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice then the cost of the class will still be charged.

Your Body, your practice.

In 2022 I fulfilled a dream of travelling to the island of self-love, healing and coconuts (aka Bali!) to become a certified yoga teacher, specialising in Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. I returned to Bali in 2023 and 2024 to complete a 100-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training and a 100-hour Women’s Rewilding Training, focusing on women’s health, cyclical wisdom and vitality. I take inspiration from the world around me and what feels good in the body - this is always at the foundation of my classes. I love sequencing unconventional flows and using fun and playful transitions to help you get deeper into your body and your practice.
