Simplicity. 🧡

Yes I can teach you how to begin a self practice, how to do a handstand (because they are very fun🤘), how to deepen your backbends, drills to get strong, tools to calm your nervous system, what sacred texts to study…but beginning a Yoga practice can offer you so much more and often it is not about adding more.

Without intention you won’t stick to it. Without strong foundations your practice cannot grow.

Interested to deepen your practice?

I have the space to take on new 1:1 students from October.

Message me or email [email protected] 🧡

I have had a lot of students, family and friends interested in what I am doing in India and what I practice.

It’s a little different to a ‘regular’ Yoga class experience and people often don’t understand it, so I thought I would make a comprehensive post explaining the Ashtanga practice.

Here is a brief (because I could talk about it all day😂) exploration of:
-what it is
-where it came from
-the different teaching methods (mysore vs led)
-benefits of both

If you are keen to start an Ashtanga practice but you are not sure how send me a message. I can help you begin a practice online or in-person in Santa Barbara CA that works for you and your body, building strong foundations and a calmer mind. 🙏

That post-practice feeling ✨

What often brings students back to the mat isn’t getting a new āsana, or nailing a transition, it’s that feeling you get when you come out of śavāsana (the final rest).

During Śavāsana you lie still for a number of minutes (the longer the better), often arms and legs are out long, relaxing the body and letting the mind settle. It is a space to integrate your practice, to let your nervous system settle and to move slowly into the rest of your day.

It can be hard to describe the feeling post-practice but for me there is a lightness, a stillness that follows me into my day. Flowers always seem a little brighter, and that first sip of coffee is magic. ✨

What brings you back to the mat?

Hihi Yoga, a place to create a practice that works for you. ☀️

I teach Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Prāṇāyāma. My offerings focus on creating strong and stable foundations to grow a safe and sustainable practice. I give students the guidance and encouragement to create a mind-body connection, ensuring everyone feels confident and empowered to explore their limits safely and in a fun way.

How to practice with me in the next few months:

☀️ 1:1 online or in-person in Santa Barbara.

This October I have space to take on 1-2 students for a once a week practice over one month. This commitment can be focused on creating an at home self practice, to focus on something particular to you, to start a Yoga practice, etc. Interested? Swipe to see some of my students experiences.

Week one in Mysuru 🇮🇳 🧡

Arriving back here after two years has felt like coming home, and I feel grateful to call many places home.

The shala, the people, the food, to name a few, have a special place in my heart and I am happy to be back.

Each trip makes me slow down, turn inward and above all be present.

So here’s to three more weeks of being fully and completely here. 🧡

Developing and then dedicating myself to an at home self practice has been one of the best things I have ever done. Not only as a Yoga practitioner but for my life.

Don’t get me wrong, I love practicing in the studio but life doesn’t always work that way. For me the balance of studio and at home practice has not only grown my Yoga practice but has been the catalyst for deeper change for me.

I understand that getting started is hard, I will never forget when I first began practicing at home alone, it was daunting.

This is what inspired me to a create personalised self practice programme. See for yourself how a one month commitment can benefit you.
