Conscious yoga provides meditative yoga classes in person and online via Zoom, encouraging awareness in the mind through the body. Together, we focus on slowing down, marking a pause in the day, stopping thinking and starting moving. In contrast to the constant doing, in conscious yoga we focus simply on being, being in the moment, in who we are and in the limitations and potentials of our bodies.
I am a coach and tutor as well as a yoga teacher and I have been running my own businesses for the last 12 years. I have qualifications in teaching yoga and aerial yoga, ten years as a yoga practitioner, and seven years as an aerialist. I developed conscious yoga by considering the needs of my clients and combining these with my own experiences as an aerialist and yogi.
In the last 12 years, yoga and aerial have been my safe places, places where I can wind down, release and find calm, as well as pushing my body and achieving things I never thought I could. I enjoy bringing other people to that fun, calm, happy place.
My approach is based on hatha yoga, but also draws principles from mindfulness and self-care. Fundamentally, I believe that yoga and aerial should be for everyone and if we listen to our bodies, we can all do valuable work for ourselves both on the mat and in the air.
