Ways to Practice Yoga & Breathwork
There are many effective ways to practise yoga and breathwork, from guided group classes and tailored sessions to mindful self-practice you can do at home. This page explores formats, tips and approaches you can use to deepen your practice.
Yoga Nidra – Deep Rest & Emotional Release
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice rooted in the ancient yogic tradition. Often referred to as “yogic sleep,” it promotes deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and emotional release.
In Yoga Nidra, you’ll lie down comfortably in savasana while being guided through body scans, visualisation, and breath awareness. The practice is done in stillness and lasts around 30–45 minutes, often leaving you feeling deeply rested and grounded.
All you need is a quiet, comfortable space. A yoga mat or blanket, a pillow or bolster for support, and an extra blanket or eye mask to stay warm are recommended.
Breathwork – Harness the Power of your Breath
Breathwork is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for transformation. I’ve carefully developed techniques designed to support healing, balance, and emotional well-being, all grounded in scientific research.
Breathing can alter your blood pH within minutes, influencing your nervous system faster than many other methods. Through guided breathwork, you can release stored tension and support greater calm, clarity, and energy.

Yoga Movement – Move with Ease & Intention
Yoga Movement classes focus on functional mobility, strength, and awareness. I teach Gravity Yoga, a prop-supported, accessible style designed to support everyday movement.
Classes combine classic yoga postures, fluid movement, and supported holds. Straps, blocks, and blankets are used to make postures accessible and comfortable.
