I am a London-based Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis teacher who’s been teaching the method since 2017.

Having been fascinated by yoga and a keen athlete and swimmer when I was young, I went into a career in journalism and ended up working at the Guardian, but through a process of injury and rehabilitation found my way back to the movement world that I always loved.

Since then I’ve immersed myself in the Gyrotonic system. It has allowed me to do things physically that in mid-life I feared I’d lost for ever, and it continues to unwind and reorganise my body and deepen my somatic awareness.

I’m now also certified on two of the pieces of Gyrotonic specialised equipment and trained in therapeutic applications for the pelvic and shoulder girdles and for scoliosis, as well as special applications for runners and the recent work for the cardiovascular system, among others.

I’ve always been fascinated by the poetry of movement and love working with people who are interested in healing and enriching their relationship with their body.

I also continue to explore and be influenced by movement practices outside Gyrotonic including Body Mind Centering and Contact Improvisation, which I dance regularly.

As well as one-to-one or duet Gyrotonic sessions I teach a regular Gyrokinesis class in the studio.
