Who is Feel-Good yoga for?
Those of us who don’t feel comfortable in conventional Yoga Circles. The rebellious, lone wolfs, the dark horses, the introverts, nerds and readers. Those of us who are imperfect, maybe we’re not super fit, a human pretzel or vegetarian. People like you – “come as you are!” If you want to practice yoga with a teacher that understands chronic pain from first hand experience look no further.

get time to relax, revive and heal. Many participants find relieve for neck and back pain through regular practice whilst improving their flexibility and strength. Yoga practice gives you time to calm and steady your mind whilst improving your energy levels. You’ll increase your happiness and contentment by being in the moment. Each class gives you the time and skills you need for self- care, what you learn can even help you in your sport and fitness pursuits.
Inclusive and accessible!
So, you have been curious about Yoga and think it could help you. You’re so busy and stressed out, you just don’t feel fully there. You want to improve your health, get out of pain and relax. The only thing is, you’re not sure if Yoga is for you. You’re not super fit or flexible. Or You have back pain and aren’t sure if Yoga can be made accessible to you? Want a committed, engaged, teacher to work with you as you learn Yoga to heal yourself so you can be more present for your partner, family, community, and the world. I teach ‘real Yoga for the rest of us’: my focus is to make Yoga inclusive and accessible.
