Classes and Events to support people who give a lot and need refueling.

'To act more effectively and make a greater impact, we need to tend to ourselves- you can't give if you're depleted'

Many of us know this but have trouble implementing it. Our desire to help and support others takes over and leaves us with little time and reserves for ourselves. We end up worn out- tired, irritable, anxious

or worse, burnt out. The classes address this, tipping the balance back in your favour, to support you and encourage self-care and understanding, so that you can leave replenished and grounded, ready to act on what your heart is calling you to do. In these mindfully-conducted classes, breathwork, movement and stillness are used to encourage and enhance inner reflection, exploration and self awareness so that the response can be the most effective- easing and healing the body, calming the mind and soothing the soul. Sessions are Bridport-based, beginners welcome in all classes.

Beach Yoga classes are continuing over the summer hols- these are always the perfect sessions to reconnect to yourself, nature, and all the other friendly faces in our welcoming groups.

Mindful movement, conscious breath work and being in nature provide health benefits that go well beyond that of regular studio practice.

Come, ground and find yourself back in a place of balance and peace. Breathe, move and be with the sea. You’ll find yourself there too.

The sessions are ideal for everyone from complete beginners to experienced yogis- a variety of options are offered so you can practice at a pace that suits your needs.

Sea swims and socials often happen after class, do bring a drink as it’s often hard to leave!

Karma Yoga Beach Cleans are also held after morning sessions (optional) providing an opportunity to give back to the environment that holds us in our practice so generously.

Drop- ins most welcome, block - booking also available. Please note, advance booking is essential as places are limited. To join, just send me a message and I’ll get all the info you need over to you. Questions are welcome too.

Can’t find a class time that suits? Contact me to book a 1:1 or group session. Bespoke options available.

Practicing yoga whilst being in nature is a potent combination- don’t just take my word for it, come give it a go!

Sessions held before the crowds descend, and after they’ve gone- come join me in the peace (you can take some home with you too)✨🧘‍♀️

Coming soon to Hive Beach…✨

The body keeps the score. Reconnecting to body and breath is incredibly supportive for your mental health.

We tend to think of the various parts of ourselves as separate entities but our mind affects body and breath and vice versa.

All the sessions I run promote integration of these ‘parts’ and encourage you to listen to what’s happening, what’s present, and what’s needed so you can respond with a deeper sense of self- awareness and compassion.

Join me on the beaches of West Bay and Hive Beach over the summer, or tomorrow (free session for members).

West Bay- Fridays 9-10.15
Hive Beach- Mondays 19.30-20.30

Harmony 10.45-11.45 Tomorrow!

Beach sessions need advance booking (please DM me), Harmony doesn’t but you do need to be a member.

Just decide to love the heck out of your life and if you truly can’t, then you simply must make it more loveable.
Change things around.
Move things out, add things in.
It’s your life.
You can do that.
Do whatever you need to do to get any kind of joy, every day.
And start now, right this minute.
The future is promised to no one, what are you waiting for?
This is it my friend,

this is it.

So I’ve been keeping this very quiet but I’m going to the awards event later in the week and I know I’m going to want to share that with you all… (it’s funny how it’s often easier to share our challenges than our achievements…)

I’m very humbled and grateful to have been named Yoga Teacher of the Year 2025 in the national Corporate Livewire Prestige Awards! 🌿

What means the most is how this award highlights the heart of my teaching — practicing yoga in nature, aligning with the seasons and lunar cycles, and giving back through beach cleans. This approach helps us reconnect not only with ourselves but with the earth that we belong to.

If you’ve joined me for a session, you know how powerful that connection can be. For those curious, I’d love to invite you to experience it firsthand soon. 💙

Thank you to everyone who supports this journey — it’s really all about community and fostering a deeper sense of compassion to ourselves and our planet.

I’m massively grateful for everyone who’s joined me so far- thank you for practicing, and for sharing it with me 🙏🙏🙏

My Story

My awareness of yoga as a life-changer came during a general yoga 'fitness' class- after an hours class of various postures, I found the 'rest' (savasana) at the end to be so powerful and realised it was much more than merely exercise. My journey had begun and now as a teacher, one of my main aims is to share this experience of peace and one-ness so that others can benefit as I have.

Studying during my 500hr Teacher Training Course exposed me to the vast scope of wisdom that Yoga has to offer- I will [can] never stop being a student of the subject. During the training, I became more interested in sharing the health benefits of the practice to others so that their lives can become more ease-ful and ultimately, fulfilling. I am now coming to the end of another 2 years of study, this time in Yoga Therapy, and enjoy sharing my learnings and the benefits of more specific practices in class.

I practiced yoga more specifically in the run up to the birth of my first child and am sure that the techniques I learnt in those classes were much of the reason why I had a positive birth experience. Yoga connected me to my body and gave me an increased confidence in my self- both in my physical body and in the power of my mind and how this could be influenced very positively by the use of the breath.

Since having my son (and going on to have another), I have been so grateful for my yoga practice and all that it has taught me (-it has definitely helped me to deal with and enjoy having two young boys!)… I have increased confidence, I am calmer, I have a more balanced perspective, I am healthier and more in-tune with my body, I no longer suffer from depression or anxiety (-and I have learnt more about myself and what I can do to protect myself from slipping into negative patterns which may lead me back to these), I have increased joy and contentment, I am less judgemental of myself and others, and perhaps most importantly I am kinder to myself (which I have also learnt is completely necessary in order to be able to give to others).
