I teach people who want to love yoga but think yoga doesn’t like them! Whether you're an absolute beginner, or want a class where your whole team feels comfortable they can keep up, or look specifically for classes with more processing time between hearing and doing.

Before I qualified as a yoga teacher, I felt out of place and left behind in the standard yoga classes and studios. I'm dyspraxic and I still need small adaptations to classes in order to keep up. And that's why I teach in this way, because I want people like me to really discover the benefits of yoga too.

Yoga is for every body. But it also needs to be for every mind.

I bring the benefits and enjoyment of Yoga to people who are neurodivergent or who need a slower, more easy to process pace.

People who need less balancing poses, and less emphasis on "right" and "left" and less steps in a row to remember.

Or who have Autism and may not like loud music, or the mats placed too closely together. Who may not want to be manually adjusted (or to have to say 'no thank you' aloud) and need more transition time between the beginning and end of a class.

Or with ADHD who might struggle to focus for an hour long class, or may have anxiety around having to clear our minds during savasana.

But I don't just teach neurodivergent people, I teach everyone who doesn't feel safe or welcome in a standard yoga class, for whatever reason.

There's diversity in bodies, minds, and needs.
