"Creative & Expressive Movement have been my life since age 4 studying Dance and exploring movement pathways. I've a deep routed awareness and appreciation of those beautiful fleeting moments where through movement you feel alive. Through your time with me, no matter what level your practise, one of the many things I'll help you to develop is your overall approach to the physical aspect and technique.  I'll encourage you to look for the detail & precision in how your moving through space & time, in unison with the breath & of course without judgement of yourself. It's ok to use the blocks, take a rest in Child's Pose, adapt a pose or transition to suit your body type or work around an injury for example. I'll help you discover those pathways where you may be blocked or stuck whatever your level of prior experience.  The peaceful and calmer energy of this part of the world will help you slowly tune into a much needed slower frequency, helping to reduce stress and to detoxify from the fast pace of "normal life". Practising here in the warm French countryside is something you will truly absorb, it's a sensation for the senses of natural, countryside life. There's no rushing here in rural French life. It's like stepping back in time to a place where the world moves a little slower, where the days are lazier and the "Joie de Vie", joy of life is respected and nurtured within French culture. ​I'm grateful of our unique position - I'm a yoga teacher with my own stunning venue in SW France. I've had the time to get to know the area living here full time & therefore have considered every aspect of the experience down to the best months for stunning weather, the best local organic and experienced suppliers, slow yet structured timings of each day, the right balance of activity and calm & refined group sizes for quality attention to detail. ​
