Curious about yoga? An absolute beginner? Never moved in your life? Welcome! My retreats and courses are designed for anyone who has the desire to find a way to bring calm into your life, and who has a passing interest in yoga. My teaching is grounded and non judgmental (and by that I mean that I encourage you to be non-judgmental of yourself!), because your own self judgment is what I have always found to be the biggest block when teaching! So whether you are a beginner, a regular yogi or curious about this thing called yoga, I will meet you in the same way, and I will always encourage you to listen to your body, ask questions (yes, alllll of them!) and to accept your journey as just that - a journey. We all have to start somewhere! Why not now?

Not at all. While the practices I offer have their basis in yoga philosophy, you will find that the experiences aren't necessarily what the everyday person would consider "yoga", they are about embodying positive habits (which is really what yoga is all about) - of being good to yourself and others, moving your body, breathing and taking moments to be still. I have designed the movements, meditations and lessons to guide you to live your life in a way that resonates with you, whatever you believe in. The practices I offer are always grounded, accessible, and designed to support your wellbeing, whether you’re curious, open-minded, or simply looking for a way to feel better.

That’s what I’m here for. Each path offers something unique, and I’d be happy to help you explore what fits your current needs. You can start small with an online course, or dive deeper with a retreat. I'll make sure it feels like the right step for you.

I like to keep it real for you, so I focus on making everything practical and personal. You won’t just sit in classes or follow a routine, you’ll learn tools you can use at home and weave into daily life. Whether it’s a way to handle stress, create more balance, or reconnect with yourself, what you gain will last far beyond the retreat. And because groups are small, you’ll get personal attention rather than being just another face in the crowd.

Yes. These spaces are created especially for women (and men) in mid-life who are ready for a gentle reset. You’ll rediscover energy, clarity, and a deeper sense of who you are without having to abandon your responsibilities or turn your life upside down.

If there is something else on your mind that hasn't been covered here or in the general FAQ section on the 'About'(https://www.thebarefootsaltgypsy.com/about) page, just reach out.(https://www.thebarefootsaltgypsy.com/contact) I’ll happily talk you through it.
