Yoga & TANTRA
Let’s start with what Yoga is not.
It’s not a workout.
It’s not about toning up, getting flexible, or perfecting a handstand.
And despite what Instagram might tell us, it’s not defined by postures.
Yoga is an ancient, beautiful Indian philosophical system designed to awaken us to our true nature. It offers many doorways: meditation (dhyana), breath control (pranayama), awareness cultivation, and yes - asana (physical movement). But postures are only one part of a much wider, deeper path.
With roots in the Tantric traditions that predate classical yoga texts, Yoga is ultimately a practice of awakening - to a life more connected, nuanced, embodied, and meaningful than we may have ever believed possible.
And here’s the truth:
You don’t need to be skinny, strong, or flexible to practice.
You don’t even need a mat.
You only need you - a willingness to meet yourself in the moment.
So, what about Tantra?
Despite what Google may tell you, Tantra is not sex.
What you’ve likely encountered is Neo-Tantra, a modern, Western-influenced interpretation often focused on intimacy and pleasure.
The Tantra I practice and teach is non-dual Shaiva Shakta Tantra - a spiritual path rooted in liberation, embodiment, and self-remembrance.
Tantra teaches us that nothing in life is to be rejected. Every part of our experience becomes a gateway into knowing ourselves more deeply. Through subtle body practices - mantra, meditation, breathwork, visualisation, and energy cultivation - we learn how to live from the inside out.
This is the heart of Tantra Yoga:
Profound intimacy with life.
Empowerment through presence.
Freedom through remembering who we truly are.
HOW I TEACH
I hold space from the heart - with passion, presence, and reverence.
My classes are intuitive, trauma-informed, and rooted in you - your body, your needs, your way. I offer practices that encourage freedom, exploration, and curiosity, rather than rigid structures or alignment rules.
As Bernie Clark says:
“We don’t use the body to get into a pose. We use the pose to get into the body.”
That’s exactly how I teach.
You are the authority of your experience.
Your body is your greatest guide.
And each practice is an invitation to remember who you are, how you feel, and what it means to live in alignment with your own rhythm.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Mondays | 6:00 -7:00PM | Holford Village Hall | £10
Join us for these soulful Vinyasa Flow Yoga sessions where we flow in rhythm with the energy of the moon. Our practice ascends with the energy of her waxing phase, and descends during her waning phase. This helps us to stay rooted and in flow with the natural energies that are available to us, rather than working against them, and ensures that we benefit from the variety that a yoga practice has to offer.
Practitioners of all experience are welcome. Your body will lead the way in how you effectively practice. All I ask is that you show up with an open mind.
N.B There are no classes on Bank Holidays
You can book in advance or pay in cash on the day. If booking, please use the drop-down menu when you check-out to select the date you’d like to attend. The date selection is in US format so please reverse the day and month.
Please bring your own mat.

Private Yoga
Contact me for availability and pricing.
Private yoga sessions are available for those who would prefer to be taught one-to-one. This also includes couples, small groups, hen parties and well-being days.
These sessions are ideal for those who cannot make a regular class, have an injury or condition that requires a tailored class, if you’re new to yoga and would like some private sessions to find your way around the mat before venturing out into a class, or if you would like to deepen your practice.
Please note that you will need to provide a suitable space. Travel costs apply.
