My journey into yoga began in 2015 while studying Dance and Performing Arts at LIPA. From my very first class, I fell in love—not just with the movement, but with the sense of connection, community, and way it made me feel. Yoga quickly became more than a physical practice; it became a way to express myself freely and authentically. That experience transformed my life, and now, I aim to create the same space for others—where empowerment, self-discovery, and connection are always at the heart of the practice. In May 2022, I completed my 200-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa training with The Yoga Academy Liverpool and began teaching across Liverpool and Manchester. I later pursued further training in Rocket® Yoga, completing 100 hours with the Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga School and earning my Level 1 Rocket® teacher certification with David Kyle in London. At the start of 2024, I relocated to the North East and now teach across Gateshead, Newcastle, East Boldon, and Sunderland. I currently offer Rocket®, Yin Yang Flow, Vinyasa Flow, and Hotpod Yoga classes. My teaching style blends playful and creative sequencing with options to challenge yourself, exploring safely and confidently. Expect a well-rounded practice that includes strength, mobility, breathwork, and meditation—designed to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Alongside yoga, I discovered Pilates—a practice that beautifully complements yoga with its focus on body awareness, alignment, and mindful movement. It deepened my understanding of the body and inspired me to train in both Mat and Reformer Pilates. In my classes, I offer dynamic and engaging sessions that incorporate classical Pilates principles with a modern twist. Using props and bodyweight exercises, I aim to keep each class functional, challenging, and fresh. Whether on the mat or reformer, my goal is always to create a supportive space where students feel empowered and inspired to grow. More recently, I reconnected with my dance roots through Barre. This joyful, energising practice merges elements of ballet, Pilates, and dynamic conditioning—allowing rhythm, grace, and strength to flow together in a unique and expressive way. Barre has brought a renewed sense of creativity to my teaching, and I love sharing its uplifting energy with others. Whether you join me for yoga, Pilates, or Barre, my classes are always an invitation to explore, express, and evolve—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Whenever I host a Rocket workshop or pop-up, I always get people asking me:

“Do you think I’d be able to do it?”

“I’m not that strong.”

“I’m not flexible enough.”

“I’ve never done Rocket before.”

My answer is always YES!

Because honestly, that’s the beauty of Rocket.

You really can take what you need from the practice. Every Chaturanga can be modified. You can do as little of the arm balances and inversions as you want. And flexibility? That comes with time, patience and practice.

You don’t have to be “good at yoga” to come to Rocket. You don’t need to be super strong or bendy. And you definitely don’t need to have done it before.

Everyone is welcome in this Rocket community and you’d probably surprise yourself with what you’re capable of when you actually give it a go.

My favourite response when someone tells me they’re not sure they could manage two hours is:

“If my mom, who does no yoga, can do two hours of Rocket… so can you!” 😂

And honestly, she can!

I try to host as many Rocket pop-ups and workshops as I can alongside my weekly classes, and one of my favourite things is seeing this little community grow every time.

People coming along for their first Rocket practice, coming back for more, trying something they never thought they could do, and having a bit of fun along the way.

So if you’ve been thinking “I don’t think Rocket is for me…”

Maybe come and prove yourself wrong. 🚀

Sunday evening plans? 🌅🌊

And because it’s my birthday weekend, what better way to celebrate than with sunset yoga by the sea?! 🥹🌊💙

If you fancy ending your Sunday with an hour to slow down, breathe, move and watch the sunset, this is for you.

We’ll start with some calming breathwork, move through a feel-good yoga flow and finish with a guided relaxation as the sun goes down. ✨

No pressure, no expectations, Just come as you are.

Hopefully we’ll be blessed with a gorgeous sunset 🤞🏼🌅 but we all know the North East weather has its own agenda 😂

🤍 All levels welcome
🤍 Bring your mat/towel, water & layers
🤍 Beach classes are weather dependent
🤍 Sliding scale tickets £5–£12 — pay what feels manageable

Come celebrate my birthday weekend with me, breathe, move and watch the sun go down 🌊🧘‍♀️✨

✨ Breathe, Flow & Beach
📍 Long Sands Beach
🗓 Sunday 16th August
⏰ 8:30–9:30am

If you’re looking for a wholesome way to start your Sunday, fancy trying something a little different, or simply want an hour to slow down by the sea... this is for you. 💙

A few things to know:
🤍 Suitable for all levels, If you’re pregnant or have any injuries, just pop me a message before booking.
🤍 Please bring your own mat or towel, a drink and some layers (because this is the North East 😂).
🤍 Arrive 5–10 minutes early as parking can be a little chaotic.
🤍 Beach classes are weather dependent, so if Mother Nature has other plans we’ll rearrange.

I’ve also made tickets a sliding scale (£5–£12) because I genuinely want these sessions to be accessible. Pay what feels manageable for you 🤍

Come breathe, move, switch off for an hour and fill your cup. Link is in my bio to book 🌊🧘‍♀️💙

If you’d told me a year ago I’d be back in a dance studio, I’d have laughed. Then probably cried 😂

For 8 years I was genuinely scared to go back. I convinced myself I’d lost it, that I’d have wasted all the years of training, that I’d somehow missed my chance to start again.

But joining North East Dance Project was never just about starting dance classes again. It was about finding my way back to something I’d loved my whole life. The biggest thing I’ve realised? I don’t dance for the same reasons anymore.

Years ago I put so much pressure on myself. Every audition felt like it decided whether I was good enough. I compared myself to everyone and forgot why I loved dancing in the first place.

Stepping away wasn’t giving up. Looking back, I think I just needed that time to grow. Yoga, Pilates and teaching have completely changed the way I see movement. Its taught me that movement isn’t about proving myself. It’s about how it makes me feel. It can just be something you enjoy.

So since May, every Thursday I’ve turned up, worked hard, laughed at myself when I forgot choreography and just enjoyed being back in a studio. Its even led to doing a show again. That honestly wasn’t on my bingo card this year, and I’m so glad I pushed myself.

One of the biggest reasons I’ve fallen back in love with dance is the people. Everyone at North East Dance Project has been so welcoming from day one. No egos, no judgement, just a room full of people who love to dance and want everyone else to enjoy it too. That kind of environment is pretty special.

I’m not trying to be the dancer I was when I stopped. I don’t think I’d want to be. I’m just really enjoying becoming the dancer I am now.

If there’s something you’ve been putting off because you think it’s “too late”... maybe this is your sign to give it a go. You never know what might be waiting on the other side of that first scary step.

Thankyou Amy Becke alyssa for your beautiful choreography and Dandya for your amazing pictures 🫶🏼
