I found yoga in my twenties—long before kids, career shifts, or the idea of teaching. What started as a personal practice quickly became a steady thread through life: a way to move, breathe, and stay connected to myself through change, challenge, and growth.
Thirteen years ago, I began teaching. Not to perfect poses, but to offer what yoga had given me: space to pause, tools to navigate stress, and a practice that adapts to real life. Over time, I’ve worked with many students—each with their own story—and watched yoga quietly transform bodies, minds, and nervous systems. That’s what keeps me teaching.
Eight years ago, I opened The Yoga Space at Meon Springs. It’s a simple, welcoming studio that’s grown into a friendly, supportive community. I run weekly classes as well as workshops, retreats, and 1:1 sessions—all designed to be inclusive, joyful, and practical.
My teaching blends hatha, restorative, and yin practices with breathwork and nervous system support. I offer practical choices, use props to support comfort, and always encourage students to listen to their bodies. My aim is to make yoga accessible, useful, and genuinely supportive—whatever your age, experience, or body type.
If you’re looking for a space that’s real, inclusive, and built around your needs, I’d love to welcome you.

If you're curious about classes, events, or how yoga might support you or your group, I’d love to hear from you.
Whether you're ready to book or just exploring options, feel free to get in touch for a chat. I’m happy to talk things through and help you find what feels right.
I’m a Hampshire-based Mountain Leader with an unshakable love for wild places, muddy boots, and the kind of views that make the hills so worth it. My work is all about connecting people—both with the outdoors and with each other—because great things happen when fresh air, shared experiences, and a little adventure mix together.
Whether I’m guiding a group up a windswept ridge or helping someone find their confidence on the trail, I bring a focus on wellbeing, nature, and community to everything I do. My goal? To help people feel stronger, calmer, and a little more alive—preferably with the wind in their hair and a smile on their face.
