Hi Everyone,
Just a quick reminder from me that I’ve got 4 public classes coming up at Happy Ohm (see below) as well as my ongoing Cat House Yoga on Friday’s 10am and if you fancy something a little spicy, head on over to HotPod Yoga where I teach on a Tuesday at 5.30pm.
I’m also opening registration next week for The Spark, my 30 hours advanced skills and mentoring programme for yoga teachers which starts in January 2024. I have lots of great content to share with teachers at all stages of their journey and will be joined by my long-time colleague and collaborator Caroline Gill
Open classes for Autumn
A reminder of my teaching schedule for November/December. As well as my Tuesday HotPod Flow class, I’ll be offering four R & R sessions (Rocket and Restore).
The Rocket is a playful reimagining of the Ashtanga Vinyasa series' 1-3 but is accessible to all, offering jump-off points to arm balances, inversions and other fun transitions.
Following this strength-building practice, we will sink into bolsters and blankets for a quietening and balancing Restorative yoga sequence. You know it makes sense! R & R. Come and grab some!
October 6th, & 13th Ashtanga led class
November 3rd, 10th Rocket & Restore.
December 1st , 8th...... Rocket & Restore

Why book a One-to-One/Private yoga session with me?
I’ve been teaching yoga for 23 years. In that time I’ve taught gym classes, in yoga studios, on retreats, and even, more recently, in a cat cafe! These are all wonderful ways to share the practice and as a teacher, there’s nothing like the energy of a group to lift me up when my stamina is flagging. But, group classes aren’t for everyone and sometimes they aren’t for me either! Too many people to give my attention to, sometimes more complex needs that can’t be adequately managed in a general class setting, or not enough time to explore a particular pose or concept. This is why private yoga classes can be so beneficial, both for the student and the teacher.
Spotlight on you
You get all of me. I can truly be present with you and allow your needs to guide the session. In our session together I can find out more about what makes you tick and construct sequences that work for you whatever your goals are.
Tailored to you.
Unlike a group class which has to cater to many different abilities, ages and preferences, a 1-1 session is really built for a customised yoga practice. Using all of the props at my home studio, I can modify and alter poses to match your mood, fitness level, and physical limitations on the day.
Spotlight on Alignment
I try to see and correct everyone in a class, but sometimes due to numbers, it’s not always possible. In a private session I can really go through the alignment of a pose, explain it, and offer options for you to work with your own anatomical structure. I can also film you and we can look at a particular pose or sequence over time, breaking down transitions and refining your understanding.
Deeper connection.
Working together as a student and teacher in this way creates a profound connection. I offer you all my years of experience through the teachings I have received and in a quieter and more focussed environment I am able to share these freely. Whether its a guided meditation or understanding how pranayama works, we can do this in an unhurried way. Yoga traditionally was taught 1-1 to ensure the individual had the tools and time to process the teachings.
Progression
Unlike a class, there’s no rush and we can take things totally at your pace. You are not in competition with anyone else nor do you need to keep up with a class rhythm. We can stop and discuss things at any time.
So whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, I welcome you into my sun-filled studio in central Norwich either for a one-to-one private session or in a pair. I offer individual sessions for Restorative yoga, and Rocket, Vinyasa Flow and Ashtanga Vinyasa for duo classes. I specialise in working with people with hypermobility and also have experience of teaching yoga to people recovering from chronic illnesses such as ME/Chronic Fatigue.
I also offer Thai Yoga Massage, so why not add that to your session? (as I am still training I only ask for a donation for this service).
Special offer for November! book 4 private sessions and the cost drops to £50 per session (£200 for the block)… Offer expires 30th November
I love yoga with Abby. A friend and I started private classes and right from the off we knew we’d be regulars. Abby makes us feel so comfortable and supported, she listens to what we need and encourages us to challenge ourseslves. Each session I come away on a high, feeling positive about my body can do and calm after letting it rest during some restorative practice. It’s honestly the best thing I do for myself.
