ABOUT

Bringing peace into your life through movement and meditation

I am a London-based yoga teacher and facilitator with over 500 hours of training, including Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin, Mandala Vinyasa and Pranayama. My classes focus on the breath as your guide; feeling into your own body; careful alignment and adjustment (with permission); and restorative stillness.

Yoga should be accessible, inclusive and sustainable for all and I feel really passionately about this. 

There is no performance, no pressure in my classes: just space to arrive, breathe and move with intention.

Beyond the physical shapes, I am interested in how practice helps us regulate, reconnect and build community. Breathwork and movement are tools for resilience and cultivating peace, and I encourage you to explore these in your own way, however it works for you.

I am the founder of The Nest Hackney, a community-focused yoga, movement and sound bath space in Clapton, Hackney.

Retreats

Step away, slow down, reconnect

I host and facilitate seasonal retreats and weekend immersions - extended time away from the city to prioritise your body, rest fully and reconnect with yourself. Expect yoga, breathwork, meditation and plenty of space to simply be.

From countryside weekends to longer immersions, each retreat is carefully curated and open to all levels. See the seasonal yoga day retreats from London at The Nest or get in touch to co-create a retreat for your group.
