ABOUT ESTHER
Hi, I’m Esther — thank you for stopping by my space for yoga, meditation, and wellbeing.
​
With over 20 years of personal practice and teaching experience, I bring a grounded blend of wisdom, curiosity, and compassion to everything I share. My classes are an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect — whether you’re completely new to yoga or have been practising for years.
​
Each session offers a safe and supportive space to explore movement and stillness at your own pace. Together we cultivate mindfulness, resilience, and a deeper connection to body, breath, and self.
​
My teaching draws on many influences — from Ashtanga Vinyasa and restorative yoga to yoga for athletes — as well as more specialised areas including perinatal yoga, yoga for anxiety, depression and PTSD, accessible and chair-based yoga, applied Polyvagal Theory, MBSR, and yoga nidra meditation. I love weaving traditional practices with modern insights from neuroscience and somatics and embodiment to make yoga truly accessible and relevant for everyday life.
​
When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me upside down in an aerial hammock or hoop, studying something new, hunting for records, getting lost in a good book, or spending time with my (not-so-little-anymore) ones.
​
You can join me on the mat in Twyford, Wallingford, Henley, Watlington, Streatley — and beyond.
Come and take a breath, move how your body needs, and reconnect with you.
