One of my favourite Sanskrit words is Lila, meaning “The Divine Play”.
I love the beautiful amalgamation of mindfulness through the physical and my sole aim is to create an entire experience and practice of ‘mindfulness through movement’
Either in group or the private practices I teach I value and understand the importance of finding space and reconnection in life. My classes are strategically sequenced to increase strength and flexibility while releasing stress and fatigue.
Music plays an invaluable part of my life and brings an additional dynamic of sound into a class, so each practice is curated in a space with a sympathy to sound but also silence.
My professional development & study re main a constant, partly because of my curiosity and desire for deeper understanding of breath centred mindfulness through movement. I have worked with and been inspired by some amazing people that have enlightened my life, underpinned with the following accomplishments to date.
In 2014 I founded Chanting Stork Yoga, to share my passion and creativity in facilitating a broad spectrum of classes, workshops and retreats, allowing me to dive deeper into the practices and collaborate with other yoga teachers and people I admire. From UK and international yoga retreats, yoga workshops, mala making courses and sound healing I pride myself that Chanting Stork embodies inclusion, wellness, respect and creativity in every exciting step it takes.
