RHYTHM & RELEASE Friday 17 Oct
Welcome.
This is a space for weekly movement classes, monthly workshops, seasonal retreats and courses in South Bristol.
This work is a refusal: of grind culture, of endless self-optimisation, of the myth that bodies are machines to be controlled and improved. Instead, it’s about shaking capitalism’s lies from our bones and relearning how to listen to the wild rhythms moving through us.
At the heart of it all is rhythm - the pulse of the seasons around us and the shifting ones within. Through Rhythm & Release, Shake the Dust, and seasonal retreats, space is made for every part of being human: rage and grief, joy and calm, stillness and eruption. Together we question the stories we’ve been fed - that we must be efficient, compliant, pleasing, perfect - and reclaim our birth right to rest, to dance, to change.
Monthly workshops (Sept 25 – Aug 26 now sold out!), 6-week courses (autumn fully booked!), and seasonal retreats are mapped across the turning year, beginning again in autumn 2025. They’re for women who are done with burnout and hustle culture, and who long to live in rhythm with the earth instead of the clock.
This is not movement for self-improvement.
It is movement as rebellion. Movement as remembering. Movement as coming home.
If that’s what you’ve been searching for, you’re in the right place.

My Philosophy
It’s important to me that my work is underpinned by my values . If you’d like to find out what has shaped me, and what I hope will support you, please read.

As individuals we are becoming more and more disconnected - from ourselves, from our local communities, and from each other. That’s why community is my first and most intentional value. Especially for women, shared spaces are more than nice-to-have, they're vital lifelines. Research shows that a strong sense of belonging can reduce anxiety and depression, improve confidence, and protect against isolation
I choose local community spaces over glossy studios, and host classes where I can walk or cycle to. Moving slowly through my local area keeps me rooted within it. Holding my offerings in community spaces also keeps things real: informal, honest, and welcoming.
All of my seasonal offerings and courses are designed with connection in mind. That’s why I ask people to sign up for a whole season - so you’re not just showing up to move, but slowly getting to know the people you're moving with. That continuity builds trust, deepens connection, and transforms shared movement into belonging.
Whether we’re gathering in a room, moving together online, or sitting in a circle under open sky, the spaces I hold are about belonging. No masks. No performance. Just real connection.
My intention is that community becomes medicine and connection becomes resistance.

There’s a rhythm to everything.
For years, I lived out of sync - pushing, striving, chasing some imagined ideal. I thought that perfecting poses or pushing harder would bring peace. But real peace isn’t found through perfection, it’s found through presence.
In 2017, I started slowing down: digging soil, growing food, noticing seasons change. That earthy work shifted everything. It invited me into slowness, into feeling, into the deep, ancient rhythms beneath the noise.
Now, my work is centred around the seasons and designed to shift with nature’s cycles. She Moves with the Seasons follows the seasons. We make room for rest in winter, open-hearted fire in summer, and stillness in the in-between. When we lean into seasonal wisdom, it’s more than poetic - it’s practical. Living in rhythm with nature reduces stress, boosts resilience, and helps us feel more grounded and alive
My seasonal offerings - courses, events, retreats - all invite curiosity about our bodies' natural cycles. We shift tone, tempo, and focus to meet what our bodies need, just like ancient traditions teach
This work is a reclamation of a truth we all carry: your body is not separate from nature - it is nature. And when we move in its rhythm, we remember who we truly are.

I was 36 when I walked away from a decade of teaching in a system built on control and compliance. My Ashtanga training felt like more of the same - uniforms, strict routines, a male guru on a pedestal.
Overtime, I realised how deeply we’ve been fed lies - about beauty, worth, discipline, femininity, pain. I stopped trying to transcend my body and started listening to it. I stopped performing and started feeling. And I’ve never looked back.
This is where Shake the Dust and somatic movement comes in. It’s not about landing the perfect pose - it’s about feeling it all, letting it move through you.
Shake the Dust is a cathartic, somatic movement practice that shakes off social conditioning, those deep ‘shoulds,’ ‘coulds,’ and ‘musts’ and invites you to live in your body, not your head. It gives your nervous system permission to process, release, and come home to itself
This truly is embodied activism. It’s a quiet, fierce act of resistance against the stories we’ve been told - that women must be quieter, prettier, more palatable to belong.
We listen. We rage. We rest.
Embodied activism in motion.
