I discovered yoga in my mid-20s during a difficult time in my life. It helped me to recentre and to find a way to focus on joy in my life again. I completed my 200hr teacher training with a focus on vinyasa. My teaching style is open, inclusive and joyful, with a focus on finding what feels right for your body in the moment. My classes are playful and fun to help nurture your inner child and enjoy the process of feeling more connected with yourself.

Park Yoga Greenwich
Park Yoga offers FREE outdoor yoga sessions at the Bandstand Field, Greenwich Park, every Sunday morning from May - September.
It's been another hot week. Even though it's supposed to be cooler tomorrow, bring plenty of water with you and take it easy. We'll also be slowing things down to really focus on our alignment.
My favourite thing about Park Yoga is...
Spending time with so many of you each week in the beautiful Greenwich Park and hearing the gentle breeze in the trees whilst we practice.

Top tips for Natarajasana (Dancer Poser)
One of my personal favourites that has become a regular in our Sunday classes. A balancing pose that requires patience and focus, Dancer helps to open the chest, strengthen the legs, and stretch the shoulders.
Here are some tips for your Dancer:
1. Like with any balancing pose, find your stability in your standing foot first. Push into all three corners of the foot, this will help you balance.
2. Start to lift your foot off the ground. You can either bend at the knee to bring your heel back towards your glutes, or bring the knee up towards your chest. Pause here to steady yourself.
3. Reach round to take hold of your foot or ankle using the hand from the same side. You should start to feel a nice stretch in your quad. Lift the opposite arm to the sky.
4. Start to kick your foot back, trying to avoid splaying out your knees too much. The core of the body should remain in perfect symmetry. Push the top of the foot into the hand to help get some lift.
5. Keep the chest open and shining forward.
Variations: You can use a chair or a wall to help you find your balance, or use a yoga strap to draw the back leg towards you.
