Open Saturday morning practices welcome everyone from all backgrounds and levels of practice.
They are an opportunity for exploration through postures, seated breathing and meditation drawing on traditional and contemporary teachings and practices. You are able to explore through guided practice the many and varied themes that underpin the study of Yoga. They will offer you some time away from the demands of everyday life.

My approach to Yoga is sensitive and varied, respecting each individual’s uniqueness and starting point. My aim is to share the spirit of Yoga with you and the community through my classes,121s and workshops. I teach small, friendly Yoga classes suitable for all ages and abilities based around Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
I teach also small, therapeutic classes and one to one Yoga tuition and therapy which is the application of Yoga practices for health and healing in order to alleviate many common ailments. Practices in both 121s, classes and workshops include simple physical postures, breathing techniques, relaxation practices, meditation and study. Most recently I have become a member of the team Bahiayoga at the Nottingham Teacher Training School and have taught Yoga and relaxation for Leicestershire County Council as part of the Health and Well-being programme targeted at specific groups.
My personal experience of Yoga has shown it to be a useful tool for everyday situations and a daily practice has been an incredible support on many different levels. Yoga begins where you are now and this is fundamental to your practice. I continue to study with senior teachers within the aYs as well as attending workshops/retreats and my own 121 sessions.
I began my career in 1994 as school teacher and have been studying and practising Yoga since the mid-1990s. I was introduced to the teachings of T. K. Krishnamacharya by Sheila Baker (The Association for Yoga Studies) and have studied with Ranju Roy and Dave Charlton as part of the Sadhana Mala Teacher and Therapy Practitioner Programme (aYs) recognised and accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga.
The inspiration for my teaching and practice comes from T Krishnamacharya and his son T.K.V. Desikachar. Their approach is to match the practice to the needs of the individual, whatever their starting point and circumstances. This means teaching Yoga respecting the differences in age, gender, mental and physical conditions, culture and religion.
