My Story

I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years – from ashtanga to vinyasa flow, rocket and yin – and have been amazed at the power of the mind–body connection. 

My classes are fun and relaxed, and offer space for students to do what they need to feel good in their bodies and minds. Ultimately, my ambition is to empower students with tools that help them feel more actively involved in their health and wellbeing. I know first-hand that yoga is a wonderful way to achieve this, and, excitingly, there is now some good research to back this up too.

As an eternal student with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, I love attending trainings and expanding my skill set. Since my first 200hr training in vinyasa flow in 2018 (Jessica Stewart), I've trained in yin, yoga nidra, meditation, somatics, rocket, among others, with some amazing teachers including Melanie Cooper, Jennie Wadsten, Martin Aylward and Charlotte Watts. 

Always the scientist, my special interest lies in the intersection of yoga with mental and immune health (psychoneuroimmunology, or PNI) – I write about this and other topics in wellbeing in my monthly newsletter. Find me at geeky.yoga and Instagram @geeky_owlette.
