4worldlovers: How I got to be doing this work …. my journey to wellbeing began gradually starting in 2006 when I trained as a Holistic Massage Therapist.

In 2005 I’d been in Retail Management for over thirteen years and for much of that time I suffered from what I now know as the negative effects of stress. I had muscular pain and discomfort, I found it difficult to fall to sleep, I couldn’t ‘turn off’ my racing mind, my eating and digestion was erratic, although my work was active I did not exercise away from work, I was susceptible to catching colds and on my days off I was too exhausted to do anything and usually collapsed on the sofa. Not a healthy, balance lifestyle!

In desperation to find a quick fix, miracle cure I booked in for a Massage and pretty soon this became my lifeline. It provided me with a safe place where I could go to and hand myself over to my Massage expert who would take my weary body and busy mind and use their skills to calm, soothe or invigorate me whatever it was that my body, mind or spirit needed on that day.

Over time, with regular Massage treatments I became more ‘in tune’ with myself and gradually I began to make small changes to improve my sense of well-being and my lifestyle. My regular fix of Therapeutic Touch provided me with instant relief and positive solutions to the stress that I’d been feeling daily on a physical, mental and emotional level.

I began to realise that I had a choice about how I could deal with the negative effects of work related stress instead of just accepting them as just ‘how it was’. As a result of my Massages I noticed subtle changes in how I felt, behaved and thought; I felt renewed and more like “me”.

From then on I embarked on a journey of re discovery using a variety of therapeutic body and mind practices many of which I now teach. Today I provide clients with a calm, healing space either online or in person at The Loft. With me as your guide you can learn to harness the therapeutic and healing power of Scaravelli Inspired Yoga & somatic practices, massage, meditation, mindfulness sound and energy work to feel calm, soothed and/ invigorated – so you can find your own sense of ‘equilibrium’ / natural body balance.

I’m a firm believer in the healing power of touch and I ensure that I receive regular Massages to help me to maintain flexibility of body, mind and spirit. I also practice and teach Scaravelli-inspired yoga and somatics as it brings together so many of the things that I love; breath work, mindfulness, meditation and also the physical postures and enjoy guiding others to explore intuitive movement as a self empowering tool.

I believe in a balanced approach to life – combining work, laughter and a few treats along the way! I’m also an keen student of life and enjoy learning natural approaches to health and self healing.

I am fully qualified and insured to offer public professional Massage treatments being a member of the NO HANDS Massage Association and Complementary Therapist Association. I take my work seriously and invest in my CPD training (Continued Professional Development) to provide the best service that I can for my Clients. It’s a real joy to be able to share this work and to witness how Clients’ benefit and transform from using them in their everyday lives.

If reading about my journey has resonated with you and you’d like to have some valuable ‘me time’, to commit to yourself and help you to prepare you for a healthy, happy and successful life where you can leave the physical pain, mental stress and emotional strain behind you – then do get in touch as I’d love to work with you!

Serious about your well-being? Then opt into the Loyalty Scheme as a regular client you’ll receive discounted sessions as part of your commitment.

4worldlovers: In a typical session, you will complete many of these rigorous and challenging movements.

The first time you experience this intensity, it will push the limits of your endurance. But with determined and regular practice you will develop a strong body, mind and spirit.

Keep it up, and after a few sessions, you will be pleasantly surprised by how you are able to cope with the challenge.

This challenging form of yoga will bring you flexibility, balance, and whole-body strength, leading to better form, efficiency, and power in your sport or everyday activities.

4worldlovers: Thank you so much for visiting York Yoga Studio’s webpage.

In October 2021 we closed our Bricks and Mortar studio. This was a heart-breaking decision for us, but during the pandemic it felt right as part of our observance of Ahimsa, the yogic restraint to do no harm.

And in 2023, we have embraced ONLINE YOGA as the amazing resource that it is! Yoga is and always has been a personal and individual practice, and online classes allow each student to embrace their own practice, to listen more deeply to their bodies and their instincts, and to bring yoga into their own homes.

All Levels Hatha really is for all levels - modifications make poses more accessible or challenging so that you practice at the right level for you. Suitable for beginners. The Wednesday classes consist of a 6-week term based loosely around a theme, usually exploring how our mat work enriches and supports our whole lives.

This All Levels class is suitable for everyone. It is like the Wednesday class, just condensed a little so that you can fit it into the middle of your busy day.
