Meet Your Hosts
Yoga asana was my first love. This embodied practice led me to explore the many facets of yoga beyond the physical, and eventually led me to Ayurveda, voice activation and other forms of energy work + spirituality.
While I have completed extensive training in functional anatomy, which shows up in my alignment cues - my teaching style is far from a traditional. You'll find plenty of creative sequencing, along with insights + invitations that ask you to explore a deeper connection to your body, with your moment to moment experience, and with the broader picture of how you are showing up in life.
Yoga led me back home to my body, to my heart, and to my divine nature. I hope it does the same for you.
I am passionate about connection - our connection to nature, rebuilding our relationship with the wild, trusting ourselves in identifying the native plants that surround us as well as beneficial and edible plants fungi and herbs, and our connection to ourselves, our bodies, through mindful movement and breath.
I have experienced first hand how damaging the all too common disconnection can be, suffering with chronic eczema and IBS whilst working in London. I healed myself through yoga, dietary and lifestyles changes, turning to the more supportive and nourishing plant medicines as an alternative to the pharmaceutical solutions which often did me more harm than good.
I have been practicing yoga on an off since I was little - it was a straightforward transition for me from feeling the powerful benefits of the practices of yoga and meditation to wanting to share those benefits with others and becoming a teacher myself.
Rach
Embodied yoga ~ steeped in love, full of creative flow sequencing, heart-centred intention + fierce encouragement. We rise to the challenges, rooted in self-compassion, listening to and honouring where we are, moving with deep awareness of breath + sensation, always with an element of introspection.
