Stretching through the fears, brings unimaginable miracles
Like many yogi's before me, my passion for the ancient path of yoga sprung out of an injury on a physical level. A debilitating back problem brought me to a yoga class, and immediately something stirred in me. The breath opened me up to something so familiar; a feeling of home. I knew I had to have yoga in my life everyday.
Three years later I joined the British Wheel of Yoga teacher training diploma course, and began my initiation into becoming a yoga teacher. I began teaching in 2006.
In 2007 I founded Luna Rhythms Yoga

After studying the ancient texts of India in my yogic enquires, I began to wander what was happening in my own land around the same time, 5000 years ago. This enquiry lead me to a norse coven, here in England, where I studied and practiced for 13 years, learning the path of the ancient ones, of our ancestors, who practiced through earth based traditions with ceremony and ritual.
We celebrated each turn of the wheel, with rituals to the God's and Goddesses, to the elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire. We celebrated Mother Earth, and revered her, giving thanks for the bounty she provides. The Nordic and Celtic traditions have many similarities to the yogic path, and so I decided to create a system that incorporates both.
What is Luna Rhythms Yoga?
Luna Rhythms Yoga was born in 2007, and it combines the classical and tantric traditions of yoga, with an understanding and celebration of the seasons, through ceremony, ritual and a weaving together of the different themes of the seasons, to enhance the yoga experience.
A deep understanding of the cycles of the moon, in all her phases, and days and how each day, with luna knowledge, can affect the practice and bring subtle and profound benefits to our lives. How working together with the moon, can help bring balance, and healing. Working with Natures energies, rather than forcing ourselves against nature out of our total disconnect. It is this utter disconnect from our Natural world that has brought the world into its current state. We are experiencing the 6th mass extinction on this planet at an alarming rate, because our species lost connection with our Mother Earth .
Living in harmony, connection and reverence to Mother Earth, the Moon, the seasons and walking side by side with Nature, our greatest Guru, in unity, love and peace for the benefit of all, and for all future generations of this planet, is now vital. Now is the time to rise up, and step lightly and reverently, so that our actions make no effect seven generations into the future.
Join the Luna Rhythms Yoga Tribe and be part of the solution for a thriving world.
Blessed Be
So much love
Om shanti
