💭 For most of my life, I thought I had to prove myself.
So I did. I built a career in academia — PhD, publications in top journals (even Nature), a doctoral prize, senior lecturer, programme lead, research lead. On paper, it looked like I had it all together.

But yoga? Yoga didn’t care about any of that.
It didn’t ask me to publish more or climb higher. It asked me to breathe. To move. To listen.

That’s why I teach the way I do now. My classes aren’t about “advanced” or “beginner” poses — they’re about you. I give options, I encourage exploration, and I believe in your ability to discover what feels right for your body.

I won’t tell you you’re fragile or that you should be afraid to try. Because yoga isn’t about proving anything. It’s about being. 💜

🌿 Pause. Breathe. Be.

Evening walks like these remind me that stillness is a practice too.

Yoga isn’t always on the mat — sometimes it’s soaking in the colours of the sky, feeling the earth beneath you, and sharing quiet moments with a friend (furry or not).

Let nature hold you for a while. 🌊🌳

Take space. Hold it. Not for show — for yourself.

Hello everyone!

I’m so excited to share that I’ve recently taken the next big step in my yoga journey — I’ve opened a brand new yoga studio in Waterlooville: Yoga Studio Sattva Waterlooville.

All of my current classes will continue as usual, and I’ve simply added more to the weekly schedule. If you’d like to find out more about the new classes or the studio, feel free to visit the website:
