About

I have practiced yoga on and off for most of my life and at almost 50, something clicked and I began to recognise the more subtle benefits of yoga. Over the years I have become more aware of the importance of being, belonging and wellbeing for teachers, children and parents.

I teach yoga and mindfulness to adults, students and small children, scroll to see more and contact me for a chat – heartfulyogaah@gmail.com

Mindful Yoga Classes

I hope to help you to take a step back from the strains of work and the demands of achievement to a place where you can experience the joy of just being here now. My teaching focuses on bringing mind, body and breath together to support the development of calm, clarity, being and belonging and I hope that you leave feeling capable, lighter, nourished and with a sense of ease.

I teach locally at:

• Yoga at the Reach, Blenheim Place, off Eccleshall Road, Sheffield S11 and at 
• Sheffield Hallam University Movement Studio on the Collegiate Campus at Broomhill, Sheffield S10

Schools and Nurseries

I offer practice sessions in schools and nurseries and training for staff. Developing a mindful pedagogy enhances practice and connections. Using yoga and mindfulness practices will help to develop embodied authentic relationships with children and their parents.

Many of us are tethered to technology, we can explain the operating system of our devices but are not in touch with the feelings, sensations and movements of our own bodies. Mindful yoga offers a reconnect as authentic, embodied practice supports the development of self-regulation, prosocial skills, breathing, compassion, kindness and much more.

This is a work in progress for me, I have experimented and researched in practice and studied formally to develop my understanding of movement and the mind. I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my practice with you.

Laughter Yoga

I lead laughter yoga sessions for staff training, corporate wellbeing sessions and at festivals and community events for local charities.

Mindfulness in the Early Years

I trained with the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) to deliver their program for children aged 3-6 years, it’s called dots and includes a range of ideas, activities and experiences to help children find ease, calm and a sense of just being. This supports the development of self-regulation, pro-social skills, self compassion and awareness. With a little practice and familiarity this and helps children to make choices and develop a sense of being calm and alert, which is a precursor to thinking and learning.
