Yoga Classes
Yoga gives you time to be you
I have taught yoga classes on the Isle of Wight for more than 20 years.
In a Yoga class, you have the opportunity to experience something extraordinary. The practice of Yoga should be safe and inspiring. In my Isle of Wight yoga classes, I teach an intelligent, gentle but profoundly deep, form of Hatha Yoga, called Scaravelli inspired Yoga.
I hold weekly classes at my home yoga studio in Shanklin. This beautiful room has been used by myself and other yoga teachers to host yoga retreats, workshops, classes and more since 2003. We started the first yoga studio on the Isle of Wight with Yogi Generation and have continued to embody Yoga as part of our lives.

The world of yoga has moved online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We can continue our yoga practice together, through my online Scaravelli inspired yoga option, and now my yoga classes are online on Zoom.
Yoga Teachers and Experience
It is vitally important in a yoga class to have a qualified and experienced teacher. Injuries can and do happen to yoga teachers and students alike. Your yoga practice should support the normal range of functional movement we humans have. Sometimes the opposite happens in Isle of Wight yoga classes and elsewhere. Scaravelli inspired Yoga is a sensitive, intelligent approach to yoga practice, informed by contemporary understanding of how humans work. When teaching, I intend to help you find the most appropriate and natural way for you to experience freedom and ease in body and mind, movement and stillness.
Is Yoga Exercise or How I Feel?
Even the most dynamic forms of Yoga are not substantially aerobic. But they all have a considerable benefit through the parasympathetic nervous system. We connect to the world through our central nervous system so how we relate to ourselves and others is how we feel.
Yoga means many things, too many people. After more than 20 years of practice and teaching, I feel that it is about what we believe. Our beliefs determine our reality. In the Isle of Wight Yoga class, you have the chance to explore what makes you, you. It can change how you relate to your world.
Isle of Wight Yoga Classes
The practise of yoga does not have to be difficult, far from it. What counts is the noticing, and that’s down to you.
I tailor classes to students needs, and they will help with stress relief, to build strength, improve posture and release tension. Yoga classes incorporate physical movement and stillness~meditation.
I look forward to meeting you at a yoga class soon.
