Classes, workshops & Retreats Perfectly imperfect...welcome to my page!

I'm a Holistic Yoga Teacher (500 hour Devon School of Yoga + Yoga for Resilience Practitioner). Cross-cultural Healing Chant Teacher (25+ years study and experience)
A Positive Psychology Wellbeing Coach...

Having experienced severe ME/CFS (Chronic fatigue syndrome) and through that, anxiety, depression and insomnia (quite normal with those health conditions) I have lived through some very challenging times...my yoga, chant and positive psychology all significantly helped me to recover. Offering these healing practices to others is a real joy and privilege...I've lived a life (also a mother, survived a divorce and breast cancer..)so whatever you're going through - I can genuinely empathise.

NEW! “Seasonal Harmony” Retreat Days

Take better care of your health in 2026 with my Yoga, Chant and Ayurvedic Wisdom

These nourishing Retreat days will be hosted by Sarena Mason and Virginia Compton, sharing ancient Vedic practices for health and well-being through the seasons. We will use practices such as breathwork, herbal medicine and diet to transform our lives.

Our first Retreat Day will be on Saturday January 24th, at Shipham Village Hall, Somerset. We will focus on Kapha Dosha: Renewal & Awakening.

We will work with the Ayurvedic approach to help to support our health all year round. Book your place today to take advantage of the Early Bird price, just £75 per day.

You’ll find full details on my website or contact me to find out more.

With so many healing modalities out there...it can be hard to know what to try, what will work, and ...what is truly authentic.

Marketing...might tell you about a "cure"...that XYZ is THE way to heal...just 5 weeks! 10 sessions!

Science...might 'prove' that something really, really works...but then again, experts disagree amongst themselves.

My job is to share with you what I personally practice, study and teach; how ancient practices combined with current scientific understanding could help you - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The missing ingredient? The work you need to do.

The tools, practices and methods? I teach and facilitate those.

My background in Positive Psychology coaching and psychotherapy also help to support you in committing to your personal practice and study - walking alongside you as you take a step and then another step along your path...

We all want to "heal" (you're already perfect by the way, just some 'clutter' to get out the way). And we all have patterns of thinking and behaviour that can self-sabotage....

Ultimately, it is through a combination of learning sacred, healing tools that work (just a few thousand years of proof), combined with developing the skills and motivation to practice regularly that will bring about the changes you seek.

Science now backs up so many of the ancient Vedic** practices. For me, the real "proof of the pudding" is how they have changed my health, my relationship with myself, and my life...

I do not promise miracles. I do not promise that "everything will magically be perfect". That is irresponsible.

What I can promise is that these sacred practices support and guide you, providing an anchor and a sense of trust as you navigate life.

Do they heal? In my experience yes. But I also live with an ongoing health condition - so cure? No (not yet!) But joy, contentment, energy, and a deep connection to "What Is" sustains me in very precious ways.

My main area of expertise is healing mantra and chant. Holistic Yoga, including mudra, pranayama, kriyas (cleansing practices) and meditation are fundamental to my teaching and personal practice.

If you are looking for an authentic path to personal and spiritual health, healing and sacred connection...drop a "CHANT" below (r DM me) and you'll be the first to hear about my NEW "The Joy of Healing Chant programme" launching April 2026.

The best of days...facilitating a Mantra as Medicine retreat day.

Immersed in the Great Gayatri Mantra - original, Vedic version.

Honestly, some people had never chanted...and they were amazing! So proud of the whole group. 😍

Thank you to for nourishing us with the fab ayurvedic, vegan lunch. And, - a very special yoga and meditation venue.

A little glimpse into my current altar...it changes, although the photo of Krishnamacharya and icons always remain.

For hundreds of years, women were not allowed to study Vedic chanting. Krishnamacharya, through extensive study, showed this to be wrong.

I, and thousands of women around the world, now study and teach Vedic chant. It is a joy, and a privilege.

THE GREAT GAYATRI mantra is possibly the most famous - I'm offering a retreat day this Sunday in South Devon - link in my Bio if you'd like a day immersed in healing chant?

BLISS ! 🙏😀🪷

How to keep Bright this winter...
Yoga and chant are time honoured ways to support us through all seasons - here's some simple ideas.

Did you know the Gayatri Mantra is over 3,000 years old? Likely to be even older (5000 years old)...

It’s a chant for inner clarity and light — not tied to any one religion, but a call for wisdom and peace.

The translation is multi-layered...the mantra is a request to the Sun to dispel the darkness of ignorance and provide clarity and strength. One (of many) translations is:-

"We meditate on the divine light that illuminates all realms. May it awaken our understanding."

We need this individually - and collectively - ancient traditions are still 100% as relevant today as they have always been...

Play... as adults, we can forget not just how much fun it is, but actually how vital play is for our health. Being creative, putting to one side our work hats, responsibilities, list of lists...

Jumping in puddles, kicking leaves, doodling, kitchen dancing! Just do it...
