For years I taught full-time, in many places across London. After taking a break, I’m easing back in slowly: keeping a few private clients and regular classes, and covering as and when. For now, I’m listening to my body, mind and soul about when, and where, I teach. In time, I intend to teach more again.
Slow, fully supported postures, blankets and bolsters, and deep guided relaxation. Practise in a small group or on your own.
An intimate evening of restorative yoga and relaxation for four people, held in my home in Kensington. Candles lit, phones away, and ninety minutes to do nothing but rest.
Classes are currently by invitation. If you have been invited, enter your password to choose a date and book securely. If we haven’t met yet, you are welcome to request an invitation.
Thank you. I’ll reply to you personally by email.
A private session shaped entirely around you: restorative postures, breath and deep relaxation, at a pace that suits your body and your week. We begin with a conversation about what you need.
Sessions are £80 at my home, or from £120 at yours. Arranged and paid for directly with me.
My mind runs at a million miles an hour, and switching off has never come easily to me. By the evening I can feel completely wired. What changed things was ritual: small, deliberate moments of calm. And someone to say, with gentle authority, that now is the time to slow down. Someone to give me permission to rest, to unload, to simply be myself, and to stop worrying about everyone else for a while.
When I make time for a session like this, I get back in touch with what I really feel, want and desire. The small things that have been irking me, the ones I know are out of proportion but can’t stop replaying, quietly work themselves through, almost without my noticing. I can focus again without ruminating. I have a very active brain, in every sense, so it’s perhaps no surprise that restorative yoga is hard for me. I need the touch and the guidance. I almost feel as though I need to be cuddled, and that is what I offer here. Left on my own, simply stretching, it can all feel like too much and a little all over the place. I still love regular restorative yoga, but I needed something more tangible that I could really be within.
Throughout, I hold the seat of teacher. There is always a gentle, professional distance between us, so you can let go safely, in a way that is held and contained.
So I designed it for myself. I began weaving some of these rituals into larger classes of thirty, and over time it became a one-to-one practice. People often describe it as ‘magic’. Its original name was MMM: Manifestation, Movement, Meditation. There is still a lot of manifestation in each session, and a great deal of meditative space.
These sessions are for anyone who finds it hard to unwind, and needs someone to say: it’s time to calm down. They can help you sleep, ease anxiety, and soften low moods and sadness. And sometimes they are simply a treat, for a birthday or for no reason at all, and a reminder of your own worth.
Most of my clients are lawyers, doctors and founders: people with every resource at their fingertips who still find it hard to stop. For many, this is the one time in their week when nothing is expected of them.
Others come when life has simply been a lot. They want to relax, let go, and perhaps talk some things through. I offer active listening, not coaching: a calm, held space to release, and a session that connects the emotional, the physical and the spiritual.

From your second session, I serve a herbal tea chosen for you, after consulting a herbalist about what would suit you best.

Every element is optional, and each session is bespoke. Some people like touch throughout; others prefer very little. We agree this together before we begin, and you can change your mind at any point. You stay comfortably dressed and covered with blankets.
The touch is gentle, platonic and nurturing, almost motherly. This is not a massage for working out knots or muscle tension. It guides your nervous system to let go.
During the hour, I gently encourage you to let the mind go quiet rather than talk. But if something needs to come out, there is room for it, for as long as you need.

When to come. Morning and afternoon sessions suit anyone working through stress or emotion, when you’re awake enough to process it. Evening sessions are a lovely way to unwind before sleep.
Everything is here and ready for you: bolsters, blankets, pillows, blocks and straps. All you need to bring is yourself.
The price depends on you and what we discuss. I want to work with as many people as I can, while valuing my time. I bring blocks and straps, and sometimes bolsters within Kensington and Chelsea.
Home visits are priced individually. Sessions are arranged and paid for directly with me.
