Thames Chase Yoga
In Person mat based class (with chair options if required) on selected Mondays throughout the summer (see home page for list of dates) in the Education Room at Thames Chase Forest Centre, Pike Lane, Upminster. Share coffee and chat in the cafe space or take a walk around the beautiful forest afterwards.
Movement and Mindfulness
Zoom interactive class - chair and standing movement leading to seated mindfulness practice. We start with a short discussion (not recorded), then continue with a short seated practice leading to standing activations and sequences. We practise the Dru Kriyas to prepare for meditation and finish with a seated mindfulness practice. This class is ideal for anyone wanting to try mindfulness as an introduction to meditation. Now running on Monday mornings at Thames Chase as a blended class - option to attend in person or via zoom. You can even combine this class with mat yoga for two hours of yoga for the price of one!
Social Time (Coffee Mornings/lunches)
An opportunity to meet each other and talk about yoga (or anything else you want). Usually no charge (depending on the venue) - other than the cost of coffee or beverage of your choice. Meetings take place at various locations around Gidea Park and Romford. Watch out for details. This class is perfect if you want to find out what goes on in a yoga class without actually having to take part or you just want to enjoy being with like minded people!
Home Practice Yoga
Zoom interactive class from my patio (weather permitting) to where-ever you choose to be. In the summer we meet in person in Lodge Farm Park with zoom option for those who prefer to join virtually. It follows my own personal home practice and you will be encouraged to move in ways that feel good to you. This class is an ideal way to start your own home practice by sharing mine!
Gentle Stretch and Yoga Nidra
Zoom gentle stretch followed by Yoga Nidra which translates as "yoga sleep" (one hour of yoga nidra is believed to be as beneficial as three hours normal sleep). Surround yourself with blankets, bolsters and cushions in a warm and cosy space of your home. You will be taken systematically through each part of your body to a place of total relaxation leaving you refreshed and energised. This class is ideal for anyone who needs to relax and destress!

The session can be anything you want eg Traditional Mat Yoga, Chair Yoga, Wellbeing, Chi-Ball, Dru Yoga, Yin Yoga, Laughter Yoga, ESOL Yoga Mindfulness or Meditation. The choice is entirely yours. This session is ideal for organised social groups and small groups of friends.
