The Practice
My speciality is power yoga — strength, inversions, arm balances and steady, visible progression. It is the part of teaching I love most, and the reason most people end up staying.
How I teach
Strength arrives quietly, then all at once.
Progression is not a mood. It is a sequence — the shoulder strength before the crow, the crow before the headstand, the wrists that have to be ready for both. I will tell you what is missing and how long it usually takes.
I am not interested in you performing a pose you cannot hold safely. I am very interested in you owning one you did not think was available to you.
Nobody is too stiff, too heavy, too old or too new. Those are starting conditions, not verdicts.
Also taught
Power is the speciality.
Not the whole range.
Strength work only holds if the slower disciplines hold it up. A private programme usually contains more than one of these.
Yin
Long holds, deep connective tissue, somewhere to put the week down.
Yoga Nidra
Guided rest. Not sleep, and not quite waking either.
Mobility
Usable range you can control, not just reach.
Flexibility
Length built patiently, without borrowing from a joint.
Breathwork
Breath as an instrument — for effort and for coming down.
Hatha
Slower, held, precise. The foundations under everything else.
Vinyasa
Breath-linked sequence with a beginning, a peak and an end.
Group classes
Two mornings and two evenings.
Twelve mats, so nobody is anonymous and everybody gets seen. Come to one class or all four — there is no membership and nothing to cancel.

Private yoga
Built around one body.
Written after the assessment, not before it. The programme changes as you do — which is the entire advantage of working one to one.
What people come to work on
- Build a practice that holds without a class timetable
- Get genuinely stronger
- Learn crow, then headstand, then forearm stand
- Work toward a specific arm balance
- Improve mobility in a stubborn hip or shoulder
- Build flexibility without losing control
- Return carefully after an injury
- Use Yin to slow a fast nervous system down
- Learn breathwork properly
- Experience Yoga Nidra
Before the first session
Everyone booking private yoga completes a movement and mobility assessment first. It covers your training history, injuries past and present, surgeries, pain, restrictions, stiffness, sleep, stress, and what you actually want out of this.
It takes about ten minutes and it is the difference between a programme designed for you and a class delivered at you.
Assessment by email
You can complete the assessment online now. Your answers are emailed to Tides Embodied for review; they are not attached to a client profile or a booking.
