We believe that feeling informed creates a sense of safety and trust. That’s why we take pride in offering clear, transparent information—so you can step into each practice with confidence, awareness, and ease.
My classes are designed around the rhythm of the week — because your energy isn't the same on a Monday morning as it is on a Wednesday night, and your practice shouldn't be either.
Some sessions are slower and more introspective — rooted in somatic movement and breath awareness, giving you space to feel into the body rather than push through it. Others are more dynamic, weaving pranayama and contemporary breathwork techniques to help regulate the nervous system and build energy. And to close things out, sessions built around Yoga Nidra help you unwind fully — slowing everything down to prepare the body and mind for deep, restorative sleep.
Trauma-informed yoga is an approach to teaching that recognises how experiences of stress and trauma can affect the body, nervous system and sense of safety.
Rather than focusing on achieving a particular posture or pushing through discomfort, the practice emphasises choice, awareness, autonomy and connection with the body. You are encouraged to listen to your own sensations and needs, and to adapt or pause a practice whenever something does not feel right.
A trauma-informed approach can create a more supportive and inclusive environment for everyone — whether or not you have experienced trauma.
At Breath Freedom, this means offering guidance rather than demanding a particular way of moving, breathing or experiencing the practice. The intention is to help you develop a greater sense of awareness, agency and connection with yourself.
Yoga can be understood as a holistic, somatic practice that supports awareness and connection between the body, breath, mind and nervous system. In this sense, yoga can have therapeutic qualities and may support wellbeing, self-regulation and emotional resilience.
However, yoga is not a replacement for medical care or psychological therapy. It can complement appropriate healthcare and, where relevant, work alongside treatment provided by qualified medical or mental-health professionals.
At Breath Freedom, yoga is offered as an integrative practice that supports the whole person — physically, mentally and emotionally — while respecting the boundaries of yoga teaching and professional healthcare.
Yes. Classes are accessible to beginners and people of all age. Variations and modifications are offered so you can move at your own pace.
Not at all. Yoga is about awareness and connection, not flexibility or performance.
When practiced mindfully, yoga is generally safe. You are always encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks, and modify postures as needed.
If you are pregnant, injured, or managing a medical condition, please consult a healthcare professional and inform the teacher before class.
There is no single right way to practise during your period. Some people feel comfortable continuing their usual practice, while others naturally benefit from slowing down.
At Breath Freedom, we generally favour a gentler approach during menstruation and may reduce or avoid strong inversions such as headstand, shoulderstand and handstand, as well as very intense or strenuous practices. Strong abdominal work and deep backbends may also be reduced when they feel uncomfortable. Gentle forward folds, supported poses, Yin & restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and calming breath practices can be wonderful alternatives.
During pregnancy: Yoga can be practised throughout pregnancy, but poses and intensity should be adapted as your body changes. We generally avoid practices that create unnecessary pressure on the abdomen or pelvic floor, deep closed twists, strong abdominal work, and prolonged or unsupported inversions such as headstand and shoulderstand. As pregnancy progresses, lying flat on the back for extended periods may also need to be modified. Certain poses, including backbends such as Wheel/Full Bridge, may need to be avoided or significantly adapted depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances.
If you are new to yoga, have a high-risk pregnancy, or have any medical concerns, please consult your doctor or midwife before starting or continuing your practice.
After giving birth: Your body needs time to recover, and returning to yoga should be gradual. Gentle, restorative and breath-focused practices can support reconnection with the body and a gradual return to movement. Strong abdominal work, deep backbends, intense twists and inversions should generally be reintroduced progressively rather than immediately. Your individual recovery — including whether you had a vaginal birth or caesarean section — will determine when and how you return to a fuller practice. When in doubt, seek guidance from your healthcare professional or a qualified postpartum specialist.
You may feel more relaxed, grounded, energised, or mentally clear. Each class supports both body and nervous system.
