Yoga classes in
the Stroud Valleys
A holistic experience of mind, body and spirit. Expect flow and mindful movement. My classes are both dynamic and rhythmical, always drawing on spiritual contexts that delve deep into the self through pranayama, meditation, asana and relaxation.
“In the still mind, in the depths of meditation, the self reveals itself”

About me
I took my first yoga class in 1998 whilst studying photography. I found the most beautiful, wise soulful teacher named Irene who opened the door of yoga for me as a deep spiritual practice. To this day, I consider her my heart teacher. She was humble, kind and wise.
