About

Born in England and now settled on the island of Sri Lanka, movement has always been a huge part of my life. Through ballet and dance as a child to discovering yoga in my late teens which I now have the joy and privilege of sharing with you.

The more I explored, the more I came to realise how healing the practice of yoga can be. Studying Kriya and Tantra in the foothills of the Himalayas in India, and through continued self-study, I stopped seeing my body as something to perfect or ‘transcend’ and start treating it as something sacred. The shift was slow and it was real - months and years - and it changed how I teach. There’s been a steady remembering of the wisdom the body carries.

My intention is to help you discover this same wisdom, that runs through each of us and give you a portal into self discovery and aligned living.

I let go of London and moved to Sri Lanka and my sense of surrender and devotion deepened. By living close to the ocean and within a stone’s throw of India, I have a simpler existence and daily connection to something larger than myself.

A common theme amongst the people who come on my retreats is that they have spent a lot of time focused outwards. Whether that’s on their children, their work, their partners or their external appearance and comparison. They leave having remembered, and re-centred. It’s a slow turn from the external to the internal and the realisation that they are worth caring for too.

We work with traditional elements and technologies of yoga: breath, mudra, mantra, Kriya and of course movement. If you come with an open mind, together we can create shifts in the nervous system, the mind and the heart.

My retreats are small by design, and as you can see in the testimonials, most of our guests come back year after year, contributing to our beautiful community that exists today.
