Have you ever noticed me cueing your gaze during class?

That point of focus is called ✨Drishti✨

In Sanskrit, Drishti means “focused gaze” or “vision.”
It is traditionally used in yoga to cultivate concentration and support meditation in movement🌀

You might notice when you’ve got a busy mind, the eyes tend to wander + dart around the room. Drishti - we intentionally soften our gaze towards a single point.

This simple practice can have an incredible effect in quieting the mental chatter, feel more balanced/stable + inviting in presence as it takes you out of the mind and into the body🧘‍♀️

Drishti isn’t about staring intensely or creating tension. Instead, it’s a gentle, soft, relaxed point of focus that invites steadiness; both physically and mentally.

You might notice me cueing:
• Gazing over your middle finger in Warrior II.
• Gazing softly at a fixed point in balancing postures.
• Closing the eyes or softening the gaze during breathwork and relaxation to turn awareness inwards.

Off the mat, Drishti can become a beautiful reminder too🤍

In a world full of notifications, distractions, and constant stimulation, where we place our attention can shape our experience. Every time we choose to gently return our focus to our breath or the present moment; we are practising Drishti.

Yoga isn’t about doing more. It’s about learning where to rest our attention, our focus.

What we focus on often grows🌿

Pre-Wedding Sound Bath Testimonial💒🤍✨

Super fun + relaxing experience for you and your loved ones before your big day, calming any nerves along the way🌸

my teaching style…🤍

my classes are rooted in mindful movement, breath and presence rather than perfection.

I loveee weaving traditional yogic philosophy, pranayama (breathwork) and meaningful themes into my classes, creating experiences that extend beyond the physical practice.

I aim to create a safe space to land; somewhere you can soften the pressure to “perform”, tune into your body and move in a way that feels supportive for you. as well as having a giggle along the way!🤪

expect a blend of fluid movement, moments of stillness, gentle challenge and deep relaxation, all woven together with intention.

it may be that you arrive feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or simply in need of a pause; my aim is for you to leave feeling a little more grounded, spacious and connected to yourself.

every class is an invitation to slow down, become curious and meet yourself exactly where you are🫀🧘‍♀️🌀🤍✨

✨A beautiful morning celebrating the bride-to-be in nature✨

We moved, breathed, laughed, connected and took a moment to slow down amongst all the excitement of hen party celebrations.

Together we shared a gentle yoga flow, a personalised meditation woven around the bride and the special women surrounding her, and a deeply restorative sound journey (with the added bonus of easing a few hangovers along the way 🤭)

A reminder that these moments of pause, connection and being fully present together are often the ones we remember the most. 💛

Thank you for trusting me to hold space for such a beautiful chapter before the big day🌿✨
