I’m a dedicated yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience in teaching and practising yoga. Specializing in Ashtanga yoga, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Pelvic Floor Yoga. I emphasize the importance of cultivating a practice that supports you in time, place & circumstance. 

How Yoga found me

Born and raised in England, I’ve always carried a love for movement & somatic practices.

My first class was an Ashtanga yoga class in 2001, and to my surprise, I loved how the practice made me feel relaxed, centred, and strong in my body & mind.

However, it wasn't until I faced challenging times that I experienced the jewels of yoga, & I’ve never looked back.

Yoga has supported me through the grace and challenges of pregnancy & postpartum. I have found healing after a back injury, and relief from pelvic and hip pain & emotional trauma.

Through studying with esteemed yoga practitioners, I have learned over the years that everything is connected, and cultivating a strong foundation is essential. I strive to make yoga accessible, & focus on creating a practice that meets your individual needs.

I hold teaching certificates in Ashtanga Yoga - Paul Dallaghan, Neil Barker, Harmony Slater, and Jeff Lichty. Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga - Juliette Kurth & Patti Asaad, Restorative Yoga - Jillian Pransky & Pelvic Floor Yoga - Leslie Howard. I am E-RYT & I have spent time in India studying with Sharath Jois at KPJAYI.

I’ve taught yoga globally, in London, Sydney, Los Angeles, and now Dallas/Fort Worth. I’ve led courses at New South Wales University, taught at acclaimed places such as the Sydney Opera House and Los Angeles Staples Center, and taught yoga in studios , peoples homes, and workplaces. I’ve helped individuals with scoliosis, pelvic floor issues, those who are pregnant and postpartum, as well as those working with stress and anxiety, guiding them to find balance and inner wellness.

I hold a BA (Honors) degree from LABAN, London’s leading dance school. Here, I was introduced to movement theories & somatic practices including Laban Movement Analysis & Body Mind Centering, all of which support my teachings today.

A Personal Touch - My yoga is a place to unravel, connect & feel grounded. My 3 children are truly my teachers, constantly reminding me of my forgotten self.

 

Every Pelvis has a story

- Leslie Howard

My pelvic story includes having Endometriosis, pelvic pain, pelvic trauma, and Diastasis Recti Abdominis. Experiencing pelvic floor symptoms can feel isolating & frustrating. I felt confused, and alone and didn’t know who to turn to for help. Yoga has been the best resource to help me overcome pelvic pain, decrease menstrual pain caused by Endometriosis, and help my body heal after childbirth.

I’ve worked individually with people with an array of pelvic floor symptoms and pregnant & postpartum mothers. In each session, I draw upon my experience, skill, and knowledge of movement, breathing techniques, and yoga to offer a supportive platform that nurtures and empowers. This platform inspires those looking to restore balance in their bodies, get in touch with their powerhouse, move into a space of relaxation to decrease pain and explore a practice that cultivates healing. This practice provides a space and opportunity to take charge of your healing journey. 

 

With Gratitude

I live in gratitude to all my teachers: Mark Freeth, Paul Dallaghan, Harmony Slater, Sharath Jois, Jillian Pransky, Leslie Howard, Melissa Cooper, Maia Heiss, Pranidhi Varshney, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen & my 3 adventurous children.
