About Me

Hi, I'm Marie, a Yoga Teacher a Yoga Therapist,  offering embodied yoga classes and somatic therapy for helping individuals process, resource and regulate themselves as a form of self-recovery and interpersonal healing.

 

  I've been teaching yoga full time since I completed my first yoga teacher training in India in 2018. Since then I have continued to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the body, and our relationship to it, through training in various different disciplines of yoga, therapeutics and somatic movement; bringing all of this together into my unique teaching approach.

​

In 2020, I started my studies in Yoga Therapy with The Minded Institute in London. I graduated from their 580HR 3 year Diploma in January 2023. I now share Yoga Therapy in Norwich (and online) with individuals who wish to see me for private Yoga Therapy, to address a mental or physical healthcare need. As well as offering therapeutic classes to closed groups with shared needs.

Yoga Therapy is a somatic therapy for those seeking a holistic and integrated mind-body approach to health and wellbeing, and is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach.

​

I am a forever student of the body, and mind, and their interconnected relationship. I am continually studying and expanding my knowledge and capacity to share practices which are therapeutic, healing, empowering and accessible to everyone.

​

I currently share Yoga & Yoga Therapy in the form of public yoga classes and private yoga therapy sessions. I work with many local charities and organisations, offering therapeutic group yoga sessions to support their users. The groups I currently work with support people in dealing with issues such as addiction & recovery, domestic violence, mental health and trauma.

​

I also offer 'wellbeing yoga classes' and 'staff wellbeing workshops' in the workplace to a number of companies, both in Norwich & online.

​

Authentic Flow Classes

Mondays

6-7.15PM

Happy OM Yoga Studio

Inspired by my studies with the school of Authentic Flow.

 

"Authentic Flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming."

​

Through somatic inquiry the intention is to cultivate a deeper connection to the body, learning to listen and respond to the internal language of the body through movement and somatic explorations of yoga asana and free movement.

​

We explore yoga philosophy from an embodied perspective, meaning we explore it from within the experiential playground of the body. 

​

Classes use music as a soundscape to support the journey of embodiment. These classes prioritise giving you agency over your body and choices, are trauma sensitive and open to all 'levels' of practitioners.

9.30-11AM

Happy OM Yoga Studio

This is a ‘somatic release’ class. Somatic release techniques are body-based practices & methods used to release emotions, or “energy”, such as stress, upset, anger, tension or trauma.

 

In this practice, we journey between perpetual movement, rest, release and free movement. It's a little bit like HIIT, but deep, and much more fun.

 

We use ‘containers’ of repetitive movements to build towards a release, both physically & energetically, and to fuel an exploration of freedom within that release. The containers build a ‘charge’ in the body, using the repetition of movements to activate the big muscle groups to metabolise stress/sympathetic energy and help with the release of tension. The practice is carefully curated to lift  & lower the heart rate as a kind of ‘nervous system conditioning’. Through this process we increase ‘Heart Rate Variability’, the ‘flexibility’ of our NS and our capacity to move between sympathetic-parasympathetic. Through this form of nervous system regulation we increase our capacity to react & respond to stress.

​

The practice ebbs & flows between ‘containers’, ‘releasing’, ‘grounding & resourcing’ & ‘rest. As we go on this journey, a lot can show up and become unstuck, but it’s not about forcing anything to happen, it's about being open to moments of releasing & opening, of letting go & softening, when we're ready and feel safe and supported to do so.

​

This class is for anyone and everyone, including those looking to manage anxiety &/or depression, anyone recovering from trauma or health conditions such as CFS, long-covid, burnout - anything that has thrown your NS out of whack and left you feeling out of balance, with great tools & strategies for managing your mental health and emotional wellbeing.

​

Guided and held with care by Marie who is professionally trained & well equipped to support you on this journey.
