Yoga found me through lived experience, not just the mat.

I’m a British Wheel of Yoga trained teacher with a 500-hour Advanced Diploma, and over 25 years of teaching experience. My path began in a traditional school in 1996, and deepened when I realised yoga had to adapt to people, not the other way around.

Raised between Australia, Switzerland, and the UK, and with family roots in India, I’ve always seen how different bodies, cultures, and challenges shape us. Caring for my brother Charles, and later my son, both living with Cerebral Palsy showed me yoga’s true power: inclusion, adaptability, and care.

That’s why I specialise in yoga that meets you where you are. I trained in Pregnancy Yoga, Yoga for the Special Child, and BWY’s accessible teaching approach which focuses on modifications, anatomy, and duty of care. During the pandemic I moved online, and discovered how powerful it is to support mums, carers, and busy people from their own homes.

My classes blend breath, movement, and mindfulness with a focus on balance inner and outer. Whether you’re brand new or returning after a break, yoga helps us to build skills gently.

Yoga isn’t about perfect poses. It’s about feeling steadier, calmer, and more at peace.
