Trauma-sensitive yoga is a gentle, body-based practice designed to help individuals reconnect with themselves in a way that feels safe, empowering and supportive. Unlike traditional yoga, this approach emphasises choice and awareness, encouraging practitioners to move at their own pace, without pressure or expectation. Through guided, conscious movement, clients can begin to rebuild a sense of trust in their bodies.

​

With over eight years of experience teaching yoga to individuals of all abilities and backgrounds, I bring a compassionate and inclusive approach to every session. I start by completing an assessment with you so that you can tell me about what has brought you here. This allows you to get to know me, and how the practice unfolds.

 

My focus is on creating a welcoming space where clients feel respected, and empowered to explore what feels right for them - no prior yoga experience necessary, just a willingness to begin.
