Yoga for the Modern Body
Join me every week in Lisbon & Online for my signature group classes.
What is the "modern body"?
A lot of sitting & poor posture
-
Shortened front line (weak core, tight hips & chest)
-
Weak glutes & hamstrings
-
Feels tight but lacks strength
-
Short, shallow breathing
Technology & lifestyle
-
Overly stressed & anxious
-
Dysregulated nervous system
-
Text neck (forward head syndrome)
-
Short, shallow breathing
Why join my group classes:
The most important thing for me is to leave you feeling strong, stable and connected in your body.
My own hypermobility has lead me to 4 main injuries throughout my life.
One day I decided to say stop to poses that I could feel were hurting my joints and prioritise strength and functionality over aesthetics. My teaching style took a turn and the question I ask myself now before every class I teach is: will this class make them into better movers OFF their mats?

Work with me 1-2-1
Humans are layered, complex beings. All aspects of our selves and our habits contribute to either building a healthy body or an unhealthy one.
I can teach you how to choose health. We work on all of your layers; your beliefs, your dreams, your limitations, your capabilities and we create the resilience that you and your body need to feel IN YOUR POWER.
1-2-1 work is the hardest but the most powerful. Are you ready to step into the shoes of your Highest Self?
