Yoga workshops
I love to run small workshops focussing on the elements, sound and energy. These are both live and online experiences and I usually run one a month, however, I'm taking a break from live teaching in September so there are none currently scheduled. Please subscribe to my newsletter to ensure you hear about the next one.

Future Events and Collaborations
I love to work with others, I love to pop up in village halls and at festivals across the country. It's hard to plan at the moment, please subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date with what is happening. Below are some pictures from previous events.
Journey through the Chakras - begins November 2021
a 7 moon sacred wisdom pilgrimage to connect with your body, mind and soul
|
I am delighted to be collaborating with my dear friend Ros Simons and deepening the journey with our energy body - those of you who come to my yoga classes know that we spend the first part of the year working our way along the seven main chakras with philosophy, yoga practice and guided meditations.
Each moon you receive a gift box along with information, a workbook and links to guided sound journeys, meditations and yoga. The box includes the gorgeous affirmation cards I had a lot of fun drawing and creating last year. |
|
Ros specialises in working with sacred sound and if you have experienced the amazing sound pipes I often bring to workshops and classes then you will be delighted to know that this course begins your own journey with sound as chakra tuning forks will form a major part of the content. With each moon you will receive your own tuning fork with a custom wooden handle inset with a related crystal, amplifying the vibration even more.
Dru yoga for a healthy back
Learn how to care for your back - this introductory programme is suitable for anyone with chronic or long term low back pain, general aches and pains or would like to learn some self care techniques to support your back.
The programme involves completing a health check questionnaire; attending 4 classes; practice at home and completion of some feedback in order to track progress and ensure that you receive ongoing support and that the programme meets your needs.
I am considering running a programme in July and August.
Please get in touch to register interest in future back care courses, ask any questions or find out more.

Yoga is for Everyone
Yoga is for me a way of life, it is not just about the postures or how I look - its about showing up, experimenting with how my body works in this moment, how I feel, what arises for me through my practice, how can I apply the philosophy? It's an opportunity to continuously learn and share and connect.
There are so many ways to connect with yoga and dru yoga can be very therapeutic, working with visualisation where the physical feels impossible or impracticable; finding different ways to reach the same outcomes; exploring all the different aspects of yoga - the postures, breath work, stillness, meditation, connection, relaxation, our energy and the philosophy.
Shakti dance (the yoga of dance) for me brings freedom to my life, I have discovered the power of mantra, the courage it takes to stand up, show up and be present, the stories, myths and legends we can infuse in to our practise. It feels expansive and releasing.
I believe yoga is for everyone - whether you have never tried it, think it's weird or have a longstanding practice (in any yoga tradition) you are welcome to come to class. If you are nervous or unsure or your body hurts too much to try - please get in touch and we can chat through how yoga might be of benefit to you.
Being a bit of a nomad, I run classes and workshops across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Regular blocks of weekly classes are held in Craignish Village Hall, Ardfern and I work collaboratively with others to run retreats and workshops.

Dru Yoga
Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga, based on flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation.
Set firmly in ancient yogic tradition, Dru works on body, mind and spirit—improving strength and flexibility, creating core stability, building a heightened feeling of positivity, and deeply relaxing and rejuvenating your whole being. Dru comes from the Sanskrit word dhruva, which refers to the stillness that can be experienced in Dru Yoga and Dru Meditation. In this stillness we are able to sit back from anything that may be happening around us, and see and act from a point of clarity and inner calm. |
Shakti Dance
Shakti Dance is the point where yoga and dance meet – transforming dance into yoga. Our dance becomes a conscious practice, heightening awareness and bringing together all aspects of our being.
With a blend of flowing asanas, stretches, breathwork, energising dance exercise, free dance, relaxation, stillness and moving mantra meditations we can connect to inner selves. Fusing breath, motion and mindfulness expands our consciousness, encouraging free, organic and creative expression, facilitating harmony and balance. |
