Alice has been teaching yoga since 2016 and is an accredited yoga teacher and yoga therapist, with over 900 hours of training. Alice was initially drawn to the physicality of yoga, which allowed her to develop a deeper connection to her body. She soon discovered the joys of yoga beyond asana (posture) and recognises that pranayama (breath work), meditation, and yoga nidra (yogic sleep / relaxation) have played a huge role in her management of arthritis and anxiety. Through reflective practices and the exploration and study of yogic philosophy, Alice has developed a deeper understanding of herself and the world around her.

Alice believes yoga is for everybody and has learnt to adapt the practice to the individual, even within a group setting. Alice’s teachings are inclusive and trauma informed. This is reflected through her use of permissive language, props, options and variations offered. Alice always aims to share a variety of yogic tools and practices that are informed by yogic philosophy and western science. She encourages her students to work mindfully on the mat, as well as empowering her students to take agency over their own body and practice.

Alice also holds a BTEC Level 5 diploma in Sport Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy, and a certification in Myofasical Dry Cupping and Pregnancy Massage. She is also a registered member of the Sports Massage Association and is committed to regular continuing professional development. She has expanded her knowledge of the human body through intensive study of anatomy and physiology, and has acquired hands on skills and experience in working with injuries within a physical rehabilitation setting.

Alongside this, Alice is currently training to become a counsellor and has recently completed a Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills. This additional training in the field of counselling enables Alice to support her clients and students through challenging life experiences whilst meeting each individual where they are at in life.
