I’m a certified British Wheel of Yoga teacher and functional breathing instructor and have been running my practice in Kent for 5 years.  I was born in Latvija and come from a family with strong cultural traditions.  Folklore, festivals, rituals and foraging formed a big part of my upbringing and connected me to a holistic pathway.

​

My yoga journey started in my late teens when I was drawn to meditation and pranayama (breathing) practice as a way to manage depression and health issues.  Over the years, I became interested in asana (yoga poses) which grew deeper when I started training for ultra marathons.  I  discovered that one benefitted the other, not just physically but connecting you spiritually.  Being with yourself and your breath, whether on the mat or running along trails.    

​

I believe we need a balance between physical movement and meditation to lead a healthy life.  We sit a lot of the day and have tight hips, sore lower backs and weak shoulders and life can be stressful at times.  We can use Yoga to gain strength and flexibility and to connect with our bodies and mind.  We can use yoga to energise, centre ourselves, as well as wind down, release tension and prepare for rest.  I prioritise safe practice and adapt postures to your ability and needs, headstands aren't for everyone! 

 

I see the benefit of yoga and breathing everyday in both myself and those that I teach.  I am passionate about sharing my experience and knowledge and welcome you to join one of my sessions.  Please take a look at the classes I offer and give it a try. 

​

I look forward to seeing you.
