Yes, absolutely! My classes are beginner-friendly, and you don’t need any previous yoga experience. I’ll offer clear, detailed guidance throughout the class, with options to help you find what feels best for your body.
There’s no pressure to get things ‘right’ or keep up with anyone else. You can take your time, move at your own pace, and see how the practice feels for you.

Hatha yoga is generally a slower, steadier style of yoga, where you might stay in a posture for a few breaths before moving on. By comparison, Vinyasa yoga tends to be more dynamic and flowing, with movement often linked to the breath.
My classes are more closely aligned with Hatha yoga. We’ll explore linking breath and movement, but at a slower, more spacious pace. You’ll have time to notice how each movement feels in your body and find a breathing rhythm that feels comfortable for you.

Not at all! It’s a common myth that you need to be naturally bendy before starting yoga.
You might find that regular practice helps you become more flexible and strong, if that’s something you’re looking for. But flexibility isn’t necessary for yoga, and there’s so much more to the practice than that.
You can start exactly as you are, and let your practice develop from there.
-
Yes, please bring your own mat. If you don’t have one, drop me a line before class.
You’re also very welcome to bring any props you like to practise with, such as yoga blocks or a blanket, for extra comfort and support. Props are completely optional.
-
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in and can move freely in – there’s no need for special yoga clothes.
Layers can be helpful too, so you stay warm and cosy when we slow things down at the end of class.

Yes, you’re very welcome. If you’d like, you can chat to me before class or drop me a message beforehand to let me know what’s going on.
I’ll offer options throughout the session, and you’re always free to adapt, rest or skip a movement. You know your body best, so choose what feels right for you on the day and give yourself permission to pause or change things whenever you need to.
If you’re not sure whether yoga is appropriate for a particular injury or condition, it’s a good idea to check with your healthcare professional first.
I experience my fair share of niggles and injuries too, so I’m especially passionate about creating a space where you can move in a way that suits you – without worrying about what the teacher is thinking!
