About Fiona

“The body’s language is subtle, but it is the language of our being. Learning to listen to it can lead to profound transformation."

Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

My own practice is an inquiry, and I try to encourage this approach in classes. Guiding people through their body with curiosity and an open mind. Like my own practice, the classes I teach are breath led and slow in pace, focusing on the space, stillness and sensations within our body.

Yoga is the meeting of the body and the breath, a dance with the rhythm of life itself." – Vanda Scaravelli

For 10 years I helped to set up, and manage an off-grid eco friendly retreat centre in the heart of Portugal, where we hosted many beautiful teachers and guests. We raised small children in a picturesque little valley, grew mountains of organic vegetables, and harvested litres of organic olive oil each year.

Over the years I have been lucky to study with teachers like Randall O’Leary (Swara Yoga), Uma Dinsmore-Tuli (Yoga Nidra Network, Womb Yoga), David Life and Sharon Gannon (Jivamukti), and Muz Murray (Author, teacher of mantra and vedic philosophy.)

I have been influenced by teachers like Sally Kempton, Donna Farhi and Tias Little. I solidified my beginning years of practice at the Iyengar Institute in Maida Vale, London, and the North London Buddhist Center.

I was introduced to somatic movement practices by Blanche Mulholland (Somatic Alchemy). More recently I have been deeply immersed in somatic movement practices like Continuum Movement and Body Mind Centering - Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen.

I am currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Yoga Therapy, and studying a somatic nervous system regulation method, Embodied Processing. I completed a 500hr YTT at Byron Yoga Centre in 2009. I am also an artist and painter. I have a BFA, and trained to teach secondary school art in London.
