Yoga has been a constant means of relaxation and exercise since Sally-Anne was young. It supported her through her legal studies and long working hours as a lawyer in the City, and Yoga helped her to realise that Law was not the path for her.

Sally-Anne explored her love of Yoga by experimenting with Ashtanga, Hatha, Iyengar and Bikram, finally discovering a style she loved in Jivamukti and Vinyasa Flow. The joy she discovered when connecting more deeply during practice, inspired her to take my Vinyasa practice to the next level.

Expect a dynamic, flowing, Vinyasa Yoga, practiced to an uplifting beat, using Ayurveda, the Indian Science of Life, to tune into our body-minds and optimise practice.

Sally-Anne also teaches Meditation, Mindfulness, Yin and Restorative Yoga, plus the more meditative Veda Yoga, a Hatha style of Yoga which is deeply relaxing and helps people of all levels to find space and peace within.
