Release into Rest Women's Autumn Retreat

After experiencing such a profound and positive change in my outlook on life and mental health through the practice of yoga, I decided to embark on a quest to share this precious gift with others. In September 2018 I trained intensively in Portugal with Indiv Yoga to gain my 200 hour qualification. This was one of the most wonderful, memorable and enriching experiences of my life! I have also had additional training in Yin Yoga, 'Teaching Yoga for Stress, Burnout + Fatigue', 'Creative Sequencing', 'Assisting + Adjusting' and “The Language of Yoga.” Teaching yoga is not only my career, but my absolute joy. I believe this is my calling and am so honoured to guide you in your practice. My teaching style is slow, considered and creative, with an emphasis on breath, relaxation, mindfulness and flow. I aim to create a non-judgemental, brave and inspiring space by offering various options for postures and movements, so you feel empowered to bespoke your practice according to your needs on any given day. I consider this as the sign of seasoned practitioner, rather than being advanced in your postures. My greatest source of inspiration is nature, especially the seasons, cycles of the moon and trees. By imparting this wisdom of the natural world, I aim to offer a more enriched and holistic practice, beyond the physical, helping you feel more connected and in harmony with the world around you. I also love to share the ancient philosophical aspects of yoga as a means of allowing your practice to extend into your daily life. My classes not only aim to support your physicality, including alignment, balance, posture and health, but also interweave traditional breathwork, mudras, mantras and meditations, promoting presence, mindfulness, self-awareness and focus. I believe that this is key to a holistic and authentic yoga practice, and set this ancient past time apart as a moving meditation, rather than a purely physical workout. Based in Birmingham UK, I offer group classes, workshops and day retreats at various venues in and around the city. I also host seasonal weekend retreats in the UK. I also offer an on-demand library with plenty of pre-recorded online content, designed to be used in the comfort of your own home. Thank you for reading. I hope to see you on the mat soon. Namaste
