Welcome to MindBody Inclusive
About
My approach to Chair Yoga is guided by a simple belief: movement should be accessible, purposeful and enjoyable for everybody.
As a multimodal yoga teacher, I bring together training in Chair Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Meditation and Holistic Counselling, alongside my studies in Occupational Therapy. This unique combination allows me to blend the wisdom of traditional yoga with contemporary movement science and evidence-informed practice.
Rather than simply following a sequence of exercises, my classes are thoughtfully designed to support how your body and mind work together. I incorporate gentle strength training, mobility, flexibility, balance and coordination, while also introducing cognitive activities that encourage memory, sequencing, concentration and dual-tasking. These activities help keep both the body and the brain engaged in meaningful ways.
No two classes are exactly the same. I enjoy creating themed sessions that explore the body’s physiological systems, seasonal wellbeing, yoga philosophy, mindfulness and everyday functional movement. Whether we are learning about the respiratory, lymphatic, digestive or nervous system, every class is designed to provide practical knowledge you can apply in everyday life.
I also love using a variety of props—including resistance bands, balls, yoga straps, towels, blocks, balance cushions and light hand weights—to add variety, challenge and enjoyment while supporting different abilities. Props are always optional and are used to help make movements more comfortable, accessible and effective. Everything you need is provided in class, and if you discover favourite props, you may choose to build your own collection over time.
Above all, I want every student to feel welcomed, supported and successful. My classes encourage you to work at your own pace, celebrate what your body can do today, and gradually build confidence through movement.
Everything I teach is centred around four guiding pillars:
🌿 Breath – Develop awareness, calm the nervous system and improve breathing.
🌿 Release – Reduce tension through gentle movement, self-massage and mindful relaxation.
🌿 Envision – Build self-awareness, confidence and resilience through mindfulness, visualisation and positive mindset.
🌿 Move – Improve strength, balance, mobility, coordination and functional movement for everyday life.
My hope is that every class leaves you feeling stronger, calmer, more confident and more connected—to yourself, your body and your community.
