A Personal Yoga Practice
We are all completely unique and therefore require different things from our yoga practice. I offer one-to-one yoga consultations with the intention of creating a personalised yoga practice, drawn and written out for ease of use. This can then be taught in further one-to-one sessions as required, or used for practising at home in the student’s own time.

The Viniyoga Tradition
Viniyoga means ‘appropriate application’ and is a tradition of yoga grounded in a long lineage of teachers dating back to 800AD. In the past, yoga was taught one-to-one, with the practice tailored to meet the specific and holistic needs of the individual, thereby encouraging the greatest benefits. To continue this tradition I teach what is appropriate, whether in private consultations or group classes, with a broad range of tools to choose from.
One of the key tools in Viniyoga is working with the breath. The yogis of the past realised that the breath could have a profound effect on all other dimensions of the human system, and yet was accessible to all. Krishnamacharya once said “If you can breathe you can do Yoga”. We all have a unique starting point with our breath – the practice begins there and develops gradually, step by step.
