I completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Cat Alip-Douglas and Phil Douglas at Sangyé Yoga School in London in 2019.

A regular personal practice sits alongside ongoing study of the eight limbs of Yoga, Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of devotion), Yogic philosophy and Ayurveda.

More recent studies include Kalari Payattu, a South Indian martial art, and body-conditioning exercises from Kushti (Indian wrestling) and Pahlavani (the Persian warrior tradition). These complement Āsana (postures), bringing strength, mobility and playfulness into classes.

Classes combine dynamic Vinyāsa (breath-led flow), music and a monthly philosophical theme, moving from grounding through stronger movement into deeper opening, reflection and rest. Options allow newer and experienced practitioners to explore together.

Alongside dynamic classes, I teach restorative practices, drawing on traditional Hatha-based, therapeutic approach. Supported postures, longer holds and gentle movement create space to explore the breath, release tension and settle into stillness. These classes also draw on the Yogic understanding of Prāṇa (life force), considering how posture and breath influence our experience of energy, while gentle movement and breathing support circulation and lymphatic flow.

In 2021, the support Yoga offered during the pandemic inspired the creation of WYKD (Westway Yoga Kolektiv Dāna), alongside fellow teachers Keri and Rob. More than 1,500 free classes and workshops later, its heart remains the same: accessible Yoga, welcoming spaces and a sense of community.

The intention is to make space for curiosity, connection and a practice that reaches beyond the mat.
