How I teach
Yoga · Lancaster
Energising flow or deep rest, there’s a practice for you.
Accessible but still dynamic classes that honour your body as it is, bringing together yogic philosophy and an understanding of the nervous system. Four classes a week, at The River Room and SOMA Wellbeing.
Yoga has been a huge part of my own journey: for my mental wellbeing, for finding my feet again and for learning to look after my nervous system. But I’ve also seen firsthand how some practices can lead to fatigue, strain or injury, especially when they aren’t adapted for modern bodies and busy lives.
With more than a decade of practice and teaching behind me, my classes are accessible but still engaging and dynamic. I’ll offer challenges that help you grow, without forcing your body into shapes that don’t serve it.
For me, yoga isn’t about flexibility or strength. It’s about coming back into your body, being present, and supporting how you feel day to day.
Science and Spirit
Where yogic philosophy meets the nervous system
I’ve always been curious about why yoga works, not just what it does. The more I’ve explored, the more I’ve noticed the old teachings and modern understanding of the nervous system seem to be pointing at the same thing in different languages.
Yoga philosophy talks about balancing steadiness and ease, about the breath as a bridge between body and mind and about us being whole rather than a collection of parts to fix. Nervous system work talks about regulation, safety and capacity. On the mat, they often feel like the same territory.
I’ve felt this in my own life. When I was burnt out, pushing harder didn’t help. What helped was slowing down, breathing more steadily, and learning to notice what was happening inside rather than overriding it. My daily breath practice has shown me how much the breath can change how I feel, something yogis have been saying for a very long time.
So in class you’ll find a little philosophy, a little science and plenty of space to notice for yourself what feels true in your body.
The Styles I Teach
Vinyasa Flow
Breath-led movement that flows from one posture to the next. Energising, creative and playful.
Yin
Long, quiet holds that work into the deeper connective tissue and give the mind space to settle.
Somatic Movement
Very gentle, exploratory movement, guided by how things feel from the inside rather than how they look.
Blended classes
My favourite: flow and yin together, so you get to move and to rest in the same class.

Wednesday
6.15-7.45pm
Yin and Yang Yoga
A balance of restful and energising practice. We start and finish with yin: poses held for a few minutes that gradually open into the fascia (connective tissue). In between, a short vinyasa flow gets us moving, connecting and smiling. Suitable for all levels, with plenty of options and props.
Monday
10-11am
Vinyasa Flow
Ready to get out of your head and into your body? A continuous, creative flow to build heat and keep you moving: a moving meditation with a playful heartbeat. Accessible to everyone, with optional challenge checkpoints along the way, like the occasional arm balance or inversion. Come ready to move, laugh and maybe spend a little time upside down.
Friday
10-11am
Flow Yin
A slow, grounding class to soften the edges of the week. Very gentle somatic movement blended with yin postures: long, quiet holds, spacious breath and a calm, steady pace. You’ll leave feeling centred, rested and ready for the day.
All levels are welcome in every class, with plenty of options and props. If cost of the class is getting in the way of coming to my River Room sessions, have a quiet word with me, I have space for you.
