Good for bringing balance to the body’s systems, and a sense of alert calm to the mind reducing stress and anxiety.
Yin and yang are in a continual relationship with each other – in life and in yoga. Much of our yoga practice these days can be described as yang; dynamic, active practices which work principally with our muscles.
Yin Yoga is the yoga of the other half; a slow, gentle practice anchored into the breath and exploring deep into the yin aspects of ourselves, into the fascial networks.
In this class we take our time to find our edge – our unique expression of each posture – and settle there in stillness for a longer period of time (usually between 3 – 5 minutes). We let go of doing, trying, striving, and release into the space of just being.
Our guiding principles are: softness, curiosity, acceptance, kindness, patience, personal agency, honesty and effort. This is neither a therapeutic or a restorative practice; we are mostly interested in the Goldilocks’ principle – finding just the right amount of sensation (not too much and not too little), and then resolving to be still, paying attention to how it feels, and the possibilities that arise over time.

My background is in nursing, having spent 25 years in Health Care. I also studied movement and dance from a young age culminating in graduation from Bailey Cox Academy. My passion for health, well-being, fitness, movement and flow led me to do my Yoga Teacher Training in 2010 with Steve Avian at Shamayoga School, Sheffield.
Upon opening the studio in 2014. I wanted to create a space that enhanced the whole yoga experience. I focus on small intimate classes incorporating personal interaction to enhance practice and development of mind, body and soul to improve all students' health and well-being.
Yoga is my passion in life. The way I teach and practise is constantly evolving. I love the flow and movement and use this feeling in all my classes, teaching a modern approach to a traditional form. Exploring the body and mind through breathing in movement, stillness and relaxation.
I am no different than you. I have a life that can be challenging and, at times frustrating. Making the decision to choose yoga has been life-changing for me and therefore, I endeavour to pass on the gift of physical and mental health to all my students.
Come and feel for yourself the Power of Yoga.
