You are not the same person you were when you completed your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

Life has shaped you.
Your practice has evolved.
Your teaching has grown.

And perhaps you’re feeling the quiet call to go deeper.
I truly believe we’re here to keep evolving.

To keep learning.
To keep growing.
To keep remembering who we really are.

Yoga has been my greatest teacher in that journey, and every training I’ve taken has expanded not only the way I teach, but the way I show up in life.

That’s exactly what I hope this training offers you too.
The 300 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is so much more than another qualification.

It’s an opportunity to deepen your practice, refine your teaching, reconnect with your purpose, and build a successful yoga career that feels truly aligned with who you are.

Over seven months, we’ll journey together in the beautiful timber-framed @‌gather_studio_devon, nestled in the Devon countryside, surrounded by nature and a small group of like-minded souls.
Together we’ll explore

* Advanced asana
* Adjustments and assists
* Pranayama
* Meditation
* Trauma awareness
* Mantra
* Mudras
* Functional anatomy
* Yin Yoga
* Yoga Nidra
* Nada (sound) yoga
* Sound healing
* Sanskrit
* Ancient yogic philosophy texts
* Ayurveda
* Women’s yoga
* Accessibility and inclusivity
* Soul-led yoga business mentoring

By the end of our journey together, you’ll feel more confident in your teaching, more connected to your authentic voice, and more deeply rooted in your own practice.

Most importantly, you’ll reconnect with the reason you began this path in the first place.

If you’ve been feeling the call to go deeper, I’d love to welcome you.

It's been a journey...

Around 2016/2017, I started working as an assistant teacher trainer with Harmonise Training Academy and helping Dynamic Hot Yoga create their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. It was such a joy and honour to work alongside Clare Francis and Aftab Miah and those incredible teams.

I absolutely loved the Brighton yoga community and still miss all the wonderful yogis there. I can't believe I left seven years ago!

In 2018, I created this manual for my very first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand.

Then life changed.

Covid happened.

Travel stopped.

I'd always imagined that one day, when I was older, I'd move to Devon or Cornwall. So I thought... why wait? If I couldn't travel the world, I'd move somewhere that felt like an adventure instead and see what happened.

Seven years later, I'm now living in Cornwall, surrounded by nature, doing work I truly love.

Since then, this little manual has travelled with me through every chapter. It's grown alongside me as I've developed my Yoga Teacher Trainings.

Every time I reprint it, I edit it.

Every training I teach brings new experience, new insights and a deeper understanding of what future yoga teachers need.

This latest edition includes expanded sections on trauma awareness, consent, Ayurveda, pranayama, asana and the energy body.

It's a reminder that teaching yoga isn't about reaching a finish line. We're always students. Always evolving. Always refining our understanding so we can better support others.

I'm so looking forward to welcoming another beautiful group of yogis this September and beginning the journey all over again.

One space has unexpectedly become available on this year's 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

If you've been thinking about taking your practice deeper, becoming a yoga teacher, or simply immersing yourself in a transformational experience, I'd love to hear from you.

Over the past 15 years, my business has grown through many different seasons.

From teaching community classes... to running yoga teacher trainings... mentoring yoga teachers... and building a six-figure business.

Each chapter has taught me the same thing.

True expansion doesn't come from pushing harder.

It comes from inner alignment.

This past year has reminded me of that more than ever.

It's been a season of slowing down, becoming a mum, embracing change and allowing myself to do business differently.

And yet, my business has continued to grow.

Not because I worked more.

Because I stayed connected to my vision.

Because I trusted what I know.

Because I kept taking aligned action.

I've leant into that I need support for this next chapter of life and business and I'm starting to build a Gem Yoga team. 

As we grow in business, allowing support has been such an important part of my journey. 

Someone to help us see what we can't always see ourselves.

Someone who's walked the path before us.

Someone to help us navigate the next chapter with greater clarity, confidence and ease.

If you're a yoga teacher with a vision for your business, but you're craving clarity on your next steps...

✨ You want to refine your offerings
✨ Grow your income
✨ Attract more of your soul-aligned students
✨ Create a business that feels joyful, sustainable and aligned
✨ Or simply feel more confident in the direction you're taking...

Next week, I'm opening 5 FREE Yoga Business Mentoring Sessions. 

Together, we'll explore your vision, create clarity around your business strategy and uncover the next aligned steps to help you move your business forward.

If this feels like it was written for you, leave a 💜 in the comments or drop me a DM, and I'll send you the details.

Have you been thinking about becoming a yoga teacher...
..but keep wondering if now is the right time?
..if your asana practice is good enough?
..if you are too old?

Not everyone enrols on a Yoga Teacher Training because they know they want to teach.

Some come because they want to deepen their practice.

Some because yoga changed their life... and they want to understand why.

Some arrive searching for something more.

And some begin the journey convinced they’ll never have the confidence to teach... only to discover they absolutely can.

Maybe you’ve been wondering if you’re experienced enough.

Confident enough.

Flexible enough.

Good enough.

I know that feeling.

Before I trained as a yoga teacher, I questioned all of those things too.

What I discovered is that becoming a yoga teacher isn’t about having the perfect practice.

It’s about having an open heart, a willingness to learn, and a desire to share the practice that has transformed your life.

Unexpectedly, one space has become available on my upcoming 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

This training is about so much more than learning how to sequence a class.

It’s about deepening your own practice.

Understanding yoga beyond the poses... the philosophy.

Building confidence in yourself, both on and off the mat.

Finding your authentic voice.

Learning to hold space for others with compassion, knowledge and presence.

And perhaps most importantly...

Remembering who you truly are.

Over the months we’ll practice together, laugh together, question together, grow together, and you’ll be supported every step of the way by a beautiful community of like-minded souls.

If your heart has been quietly whispering that it’s time...

I’d love to have a conversation with you.

Send me a DM with the word YOGA, and let’s chat about whether this journey feels right for you.

Trigger warning...

Today, Baddha Konasana came back for me, and it felt like a really big deal.

We store so much in our bodies, especially around our hips.

After a traumatic labour, a week in hospital, and a few very frightening moments with Finley, my hips have felt vulnerable, protective and tight.

I have also experienced sexual abuse in my past. Sadly, this isn't uncommon.

I'm not sharing this because I want sympathy or attention. I'm sharing it because our bodies carry stories that aren't always visible.

Be gentle with your body.

And if you're a yoga teacher, be gentle with your students' bodies too, especially when offering hands-on assists.

Your tender, beautiful body holds so much.

Today, for the first time in a really long time, my body felt safe enough to "go there"... and I am so grateful.

I feel that when I feel safe in my own body, I can help Finley feel safe in his too... and that means everything to me.

Sometimes a posture isn't accessible because of our anatomy, and that's completely okay. Not everybody is designed to move in the same way, and there are countless other magical ways to practice yoga.

Other times, our bodies are protecting us. Trauma. Unprocessed emotions. Stress. Tension. Stories we've carried for years. Energy that hasn't yet found a safe place to move.

Through practicing asana with ahimsa (non-harm) and compassion, we can slowly and gently explore these places of resistance. Not to force them open, but to meet them with kindness. To be with what is. To allow whatever needs to be felt, processed and released, in its own time.

Yoga has been my medicine, but it doesn't have to be yours.

Find what helps you feel safe. Therapy. Nature. Rest. Creativity. Alternative healing modalities. Somatic movement. Whatever resonates with you.

Find your way home.

Let go of all that isn't you, so you can become more of who you truly are, who you came here to be.

A space has become available on my upcoming 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training!

If you’d been thinking about joining us but thought you’d missed your chance, I wanted you to know.
Perhaps this is your sign.

Imagine arriving on the first morning...
The Devon countryside is quiet, the sun is rising, and you step into a room full of people who have all said yes to something deeper.

Over the months that follow, something begins to shift.
You don’t just learn how to teach yoga.
You deepen your practice.
You grow in confidence.
You reconnect with yourself.
You discover your authentic voice.
You remember why you fell in love with yoga in the first place.

Whether your dream is to become a yoga teacher or simply to immerse yourself in the practice, this journey is about so much more than learning poses.

It’s about coming home to yourself.

This also holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the last 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training I’ll be teaching at Tuell Farm in Milton Abbot, Devon. From next year, I’ll be beginning an exciting new chapter, collaborating with other beautiful studios across Devon… and Kent!
If you’ve been feeling the call to take your 200HR, I’d love to have a chat and see if this journey feels aligned for you.

Send me a DM with the word YOGA, or leave a 🤍 in the comments and I’ll send you all the details.

A Yoga class for those breastfeeding, sleep deprived mumas out there - I see you! x

A gentle 35-minute yoga class.

This practice is an invitation to pause, breathe, release tension, and reconnect with yourself—one mindful movement at a time.

There is no pressure. No expectations. Simply listen to your body, honour where you are today, and move in a way that feels nourishing for you. 

If you know a new mum who could benefit from a little self-care, please share this with her.

Another magical weekend on our 300hr Yoga Teacher Training, with courageous, inspiring souls.

Students who were willing to test their edges.
To explore what felt possible.
To let go of limiting samskaras—old beliefs, stories and conditioning that keep us playing small.

Because the greatest practice isn't mastering the pose...

It's moving beyond the version of yourself that believes you can't.

This weekend we explored parts of the Ashtanga Primary & Secondary Series, discovering strength, resilience and possibility far beyond what we first imagined.

And whilst we worked deeply... we also laughed a lot!

There was so much joy.
So much play.
So much childlike curiosity.

Because yoga isn't just about discipline.

It's about freedom.
Connection.
Wonder.
And remembering how to enjoy the journey.

Off the mat, we dived into the Yoga Sutras...

Yes... even the parts about the siddhis (supernatural powers!)...

Levitation.
Walking on water.
Astral travel.

Along with fascinating discussions around the different states of samadhi and what these teachings really invite us to explore in our own lives and practice.

It is an absolute honour to walk this path together.

To share this tiny blip in time...
On this beautiful planet...
As human expressions of consciousness.

"Attachment to the world makes it seem real. Detachment makes it a wondrous play." Amachi

If you're a yoga teacher feeling called to deepen your practice, expand your teaching, and continue your own journey of self-discovery...

Applications for the May–November 2027 300hr Yoga Teacher Training are now open.
