Yoga can help to build much needed resilience and provide a soft place to land, supporting us to respond to the ongoing personal and collective challenges of our times.

While my classes welcome all and are for everyone, I also have specific training in movement, breath, and relaxation for chronic illness, hypermobility, and energy-limiting conditions.

With about 20 years of self-practice, and 8 years as a yoga instructor, I’ve spent years developing an accessible and deeply well-informed approach to teaching Yoga. My classes are thoughtfully planned and intuitively guided to remain inclusive for different bodies and brains so that each practice meets you where you’re at.

I completed my first foundational 200-hour YTTC in India, 2017, and went on to study Yoga Therapeutics, Accessible Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and the Integral Movement Method, shaping my approach to teaching with inclusivity and care at its core.

Beyond yoga, I bring lived experience of neurodivergence and chronic illness, including hypermobile EDS and related conditions, which has deepened my understanding of how to support a wide range of bodies and experiences. My aim is to create a space where you can tune in, explore movement with curiosity, and truly rest — without pressure, expectation, or comparison.

Alongside my work in accessibility, I guide retreats that create space for sacred pause, offering deep rest in a world that often pulls us toward constant activity. Yoga Nidra and other relaxation focused practices are at the heart of my teaching and I’ll always make space for gentle moments, even in a more dynamic flow style class.

I’ve got a big bone to pick with the trillion dollar wellness industry and aim to share a kinder, more accessible and grounded approach to well-being.

Hi, I’m Jas! Accessible Yoga Teacher & Retreat Leader

My Core Values are at the Heart of All My Classes, Workshops & Retreats.

Accessibility

Yoga is for everybody. I offer options in my classes to suit a range of needs and encourage everyone to engage with the practice in a way that best supports them. I offer sliding-scale pricing to make yoga more financially accessible and continually update my professional training to learn more about accessibility in yoga.

Inclusivity & Belonging

My classes seek to be welcoming and affirming of all identities, gender expression, sizes and abilities. As a neurodivergent LGBTQ+ teacher living with chronic illness, I know how exclusionary the world of wellness can be. My mission is to make yoga and well-being spaces safer and more community oriented.

Social Impact

I welcome feedback and am committed to navigating a repair process if ever I get something wrong. I understand that intention is different to impact, and care about the effect my work has on the people and communities I serve. The social impact of my business matters to me, and I choose carefully who I collaborate with - I only partner with values-aligned organisations.

Trauma-Informed

My classes and content reject a one-size-fits-all approach. I teach yoga to support choice, consent, and agency. Trauma-informed Yoga can benefit everyone in class, and means being intentional and conscientious about how I hold space.

My experience includes; being lead Yoga teacher on international wellness retreats, teaching regular classes at a range of venues from gyms to studios to community centres, and teaching online.

Seeing the impact that this work has on people brings me such a visceral sense of contentment (santosha)! Here’s some feedback on my clases:

  • “Jasmine is one of the greatest yoga teachers I have ever seen. She has a unique mode of combining the body work with the mind, in a very relaxed way, with visualization, wisdom and even poetry. I met her when she was teaching on a retreat in Romania, and have been practicing her online videos since then. She is super inspiring and a really nice person.”

    Diana

  • “Jasmine has a brilliant way of explaining yoga that works well even for those new to yoga like me. She encourages you and gives helpful alternative positions where needed. I always feel beautifully stretched, relaxed and energised at the same time after her classes.”

    Ollie

  • “Jasmine is a great and dedicated yoga teacher. She explains the positions calmly and clearly so it’s easy to follow her instructions. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or intermediate. Jasmine makes all feel well! And when the yoga lesson has come to an end you start looking forward to the next yoga lesson. Five stars to the highly recommended yoga teacher.”

I’m open to collaborating with values-aligned professionals, studio owners and community projects
