Almon
I was drawn to yoga whilst working as a busy professional amid the freneticism of London life. My yoga practice has been a natural anchor through many of life’s inevitable ups and downs.
I aim to create a nurturing space, focusing on breath-based movement, self-care and mindfulness. I believe in moving slowly to the rhythm of the breath as a way of building strength, balance and flexibility, in both body and mind.
In particular, I found yoga postures and breathing techniques to be a great help during pregnancy and the early days of being a mum to my sons, who are also yoga enthusiasts themselves!
I teach Flow, Pregnancy, Postnatal, Baby and Kids Yoga.

Styles
Flow Yoga
I believe in moving slowly to the rhythm of the breath as a way of building strength, balance and flexibility, in both body and mind. This practice allows for focus on alignment and mindful movement between postures.
I have a regular Flow Yoga practice and change my focus from gentle to challenging depending on my emotional and physical needs.
Pregnancy Yoga
Having experienced the benefits of Pregnancy Yoga personally, I believe the practice enables soon-to-be Mamas to stay positive in body and mind during an exciting and often uncertain time.
My classes focus on breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as postures which strengthen and stretch the body. Enabling Mamas-to-be to maintain or gain fitness, while reducing anxiety in preparation for labour and motherhood.
Postnatal with Baby Yoga
My Postnatal with Baba Yoga classes are a special time set aside for Mamas and babas to focus on the benefits of touch, movement and relaxation. Specialist Postnatal Yoga sequencing will help tone and strengthen Mamas muscles, improve posture and combat fatigue.
For babas there will be playful movement, songs and gentle massage to promote sleep, digestion and overall healthy development.
Yoga Club (kids yoga)
Yoga Club aims to address the mental health and wellbeing crisis facing young people in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe breath-led dynamic yoga, combining body awareness with mindfulness, teaches childre to recognise how they are feeling and how to self-regulate - an essential tool for building physical and mental wellbeing. The classes are taught at primary schools within the school day and also in a yoga studio setting.
