Wellbeing practices that feel like coming home.
Wellbeing isn’t about battling to become a better version of yourself.
It’s about deepening the relationship you have with yourself right now, so you’re naturally inspired to care for your body, mind, and soul — today and always.
When transformation comes from a place of genuine self-inquiry — asking who you truly are, what you truly need, and what you truly desire — it becomes sustainable and, most importantly, feels like coming home to your truest self.
Through movement, meditation, breathwork, and deep rest, and all delivered and explored using carefully chosen language and philosophical considerations, I will help you meet and honour yourself just as you are, creating the most solid foundation from which you can explore, evolve, and nurture yourself to be strong in body, resilient in mind, and naturally at ease, now and into the future.

The sessions are suitable for all levels, with modifications given for beginners and anyone wanting to take things gently.

Yoga for hen parties and events
Create a meaningful yoga experience for your event.
Bring everyone together for a bespoke class made special for your event. Ideal if you’re hiring a country home for your hen party in the Cotswolds or other group gathering. We can work together to create a playlist for your practice, design a class everyone will enjoy, and choose a focus that celebrates or sends love to the ‘star’ (or stars) of the party. Prices start at £250 for a 60-minute tailored class (any Cotswolds location or within 30 miles of OX13).
Or go for the full spa package…
Partnering with Charlotte Spencer, an aromatherapist and massage therapist who has her own brand of exquisite candles hand-poured in the Cotswolds, we can offer a full ‘spa-in-your-space’ option complete with takeaway care packages for your party.

Corporate wellbeing packages.
I can deliver yoga classes for your workforce, either at your premises or via Zoom. I also offer broader wellbeing packages including options for working with stress, managing resolution, and honing insight and creativity.
Yoga can be for anyone.
I am not naturally flexible and I’ve never been a gymnast or dancer, yet yoga has helped me grow into a stronger, calmer person. It has transformed my relationship with my body and enabled me to be more patient and forgiving of myself, of others, and of the hurdles that invariably present themselves throughout my life.
It is a joy to share this practice.
My yoga journey + approach.
I’ve been practising yoga and meditation since 1999 and completed my first teacher training course in India in 2013. I have equal interest in the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the practices and share teachings that explore all three elements. I am trained in yoga nidra (a transformative state of deep relaxation) and co-authored The Book of Rest, a guide to the most accessible forms of yoga, meditation and yoga nidra, which received critical acclaim and extensive press coverage.
I try to honour, respect, and embrace the roots of yoga and the culture that it is born out of, but I am forever exploring related practices and bring aspects of other disciplines into my teaching, from Pilates, Barre, mindfulness, and even HIIT. Yoga teaches us that we are interconnected – one – and therefore there can be no boundaries in how we explore and nourish our body, mind, and spirit, providing we approach the exploration with the intention of causing no harm. This is the paradox of the issue of cultural appropriation in yoga and remains, for me, an ongoing enquiry.
