Welcome to Oakwood Yoga
Namaste and wishing you are very warm welcome to these pages. I really hope you find something of interest, do have a good browse, if you need any help, please get in touch.
I am safely back from Nepal. It has been a wonderful trip and my Nepali family organised two Pujas for Dad which was really special. The trekking was hard work at times but the scenery was joyous. Great company from my fellow trekkers and our team of porters and guides. Feeling very fortunate and lucky.
But I am looking forward to normal things again and I so hope you can make classes over the next few weeks. Despite this busy time of year. My next masterclass will be on 27th December…space for you to come and chill out!
I really hope the coming month brings you much joy and wellbeing.
Do take care and stay well. And see you on a mat soon!
Love and OMs xx

Nepal Update
Our visit to Nepal in November 2024 was amazing as usual. We managed to take out some money and childrens shoes and clothes for the families that lost their homes and whole livlihoods after the floods in September. A massive thank you to everyone who donated and helped.
Our trek took us to the base camp of Makalu…5th highest mountain in the world. It was a tough walk, so many steps, but the views and company made it so worthwhile. Two of our team have summited Everest 15 times between them! The youngest memeber of our team is hoping to join the Everest climbing teams but has to learn English and get all his climbing certificates. We managed to get enough money to give him English lessons for a year. And I have said we will sponsor him – as long as does the work – in getting the climbing certificates. So if anyone can offer this young man some help do get in touch. He is only 18 and doesn’t have parents or siblings to help support him.
In 2025 there are some friends who wish to go to Makalu who couldnt do it this year. So if you are thinking of trekking and would like a real adventure to an area still largely unspoilt, please get in touch. The only way in is by foot or helicopter!! It was stunning.
Classes
Teaching yoga is a huge priviledge, and I strongly believe in the benefits it brings to our overall well being. What I love as well is that yoga does not discriminate. No matter what level your experience, how well or poorly you are, yoga is available to us all.
I offer live group classes in Darley Abbey, Allestree, Belper and Fritchley.
There are two zoom classes a week and a zoom meditation class.
If you perfer a class to help develop your practice or because you don’t feel comfortable coming to a group class, I do also offer 121 sessions.
New for 2025, I will also be offering Sound Healing sessions. These are 121 and I use Tibetan Singing Bowls. I will also be offering Tibetan Bowl Massage sessions too.

This section is all about sharing things we do in class or on retreat or through our masterclass work. There will be recordings from time to time as well. Feel free to share…just let people know where it came from!
Nepal Update
Not exactly the tree you would see in Nepal but I love coastal redwoods as much as I love Nepal. One day I will get to see the real big ones…hopefully.
I will be bringing an update soon…as I am off to the village. So excited to be seeing everyone again!
Huge thanks for your continued support. It makes such a massive difference.
