Learning skills for health and wellbeing is essential for young people today and there is ample evidence to suggest that yoga, self awareness and mindfulness practices can help reduce stress and alleviate/prevent a wide range of mental and physical health issues. My classes and workshops are designed to work with the whole self - mind, body heart and soul and offer a range of physical and mental practices for participants of all ages and abilities. I teach about the importance of self awareness, self reflection, self care, understanding your own values and living and leading from your heart.
With a 15+ year career working with and for young people, I believe I have a deep understanding of the needs and desires, the motivations and thought patterns well as the worries and concerns of young people and encourage self expression, self confidence and self love as well as understanding and compassion for peers and collective responsibility for issues currently facing our world.
I am committed to issues of social justice, and value equality, inclusivity, ecological awareness, building and strengthening community connection and can bring all of this into my sessions when suitable.
