Approach

When choosing a Yoga teacher, it's important to understand their background, influences and approach to teaching so you can feel comfortable and get the most out of your time together. Most importantly, so you can can relate to them on a human level.

Background

    Man in Downward Facing Dog Yoga pose.
  • I work in an office 9-5, Monday to Friday and struggle with the same aches and pains of desk life as you.
  • I started practicing in 2015 to improve my mental health and manage recurring anxiety.
  • With practice I started to notice, anxiety was not the first thing on my mind when I woke up in the morning.
  • I trained in 2018 under the guidance of Andrea Everingham so I could share the practice with you.

Beliefs & Influences

    Man in Crow Yoga pose.
  • I believe our mind, body, indeed all life, is deeply interconnected.
  • That we seek happiness any joy!
  • However you feel right now, come as you are, not how others expect you to be.
  • Traditional Yoga & Buddhist philosophy have shaped my experience of the world. I'll sometimes share these teachings, with a modern twist, relevant to your daily life.
