Mat Classes
I offer these as slower-moving classes, allowing time to transition between postures. Use the slower pace to build strength in longer holds - or to take a pause and rest.

My pricing explained
The prices above are listed with three options (eg) £8 / £10 / £12. This refers to three tiers of (1 / 2 /3) as follows:
Tier 1 (lowest/subsidised)
Primarily aimed at people who are block-booking (paying for a month upfront) and would find one of the other tiers too expensive to afford.
Tier 2 (standard/sustainer)
A “neutral” fee that allows me to keep the class running. Ideally, this is also aimed at people who are block-booking.
Tier 3 (supporter)
A fee that allows me to offer subsidised places to others, and which supports me to offer these flexible rates as a self-employed person. This is also the suggested fee for people who are “dropping in” rather than block-booking (though you are welcome to pay less if you need to).
You do not ever need to explain your choice to me; these are offered freely, in trust and gratitude.
You can change the amount you pay whenever you need to or feel able to. (Even occasional contributions at the supporter rate help.)
If you ever feel you just can’t afford to come to yoga this week, please take a free place or make a smaller donation, and know that you are welcome. No questions asked.
If I cannot earn a living from any individual class, I will need to stop running that class. There are other ways you can support the sustainability of a class - like helping me spread the word.
(I am so grateful - and quite proud - that all of my classes are built on word-of-mouth - this allows me to protect my own mental well-being by avoiding social media).
Once you are regularly attending classes, I will give information before the start of each month how many sessions will be in the next month’s block.
I know that this system is confusing for some and I am sorry for that - but I offer it as an extension of my commitment to social and economic justice.
Please just ask me if you have questions.
