Accessible · Inclusive · For everyone
I teach accessible, inclusive yoga often in community settings.
Yoga is all about moving your body in an enjoyable and beneficial way. My classes are accessible and down-to-earth and I teach Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Nidra, Chair and beginners. My approach is great for anyone, but particularly for those who are new or returning too yoga or exercise, recovering from injury, older, disabled or neurodivergent. I’m based in the city of Leeds in northern England.
I also offer accessible teacher training and workshops on yoga history and philosophy based on my PhD in yoga diversity, Masters in Religious studies and background in Tibetan Buddhism.
For more information find me on Instagram, BlueSky and Facebook.
