My Story
I'm so glad you're here. I'm the founder of Off Grid Digital Detox Yoga Retreats. I come from Falkirk, Scotland and spent my childhood bopping about the rural parts of Scotland, where my love of the wilds began. I currently live in London.
​
In discovering Yoga in my teenage years, I found a vehicle for my spirituality that felt right for me. To me, yoga is a practice of grounding and acceptance, of feeling at home in your own skin, as well as a practice of growth; of gaining perspective and the breathing space we need in this modern busy world.
​
I have been teaching Yoga for 8 years, having trained and initially taught in Copenhagen, and have shared my passion for these teachings all over from Vancouver to Edinburgh to London. I specialise in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Myofascial Release.
​
I started Off Grid to facilitate a space for people to slow down and go inward, to press pause on the busyness of life and step away from our tech. I am no luddite, but I do believe we need to find ways to turn the noise down, to limit our use of devices and give our nervous systems a chance to regulate. These retreats constantly impress upon me the significance of having people come together without phones, without distraction, without email pings and needless check-in calls. It facilitates real connection, headspace and perspective.
​
I'm also passionate about bringing yoga into corporate spaces, emphasizing its positive impact on workplace well-being. Yoga can contribute to a healthier, more positive work environment by addressing both the physical and mental well-being of employees.
​
Aside from sharing my practice, the astrology app, Soulloop, is where a lot of my energy resides, as a content writer I am happy to be apart of this positive slice of the tech pie- countering the stress-inducing apps and communication outlets. You will also find astrology woven throughout the practices and themes of my retreats, and I am always happy to talk all things celestial with my students.
Through a committed Yoga practice and my belief that my inner world is what determines my outer world, I am on a journey of self-awareness and waking up to life. My intention is to share the practices, ideas and lifestyle shifts that I experience working for me with the belief that they could work for you too.
