What style are my yoga classes?

In my yoga practice over the past 16 years and through different stages of life, I have come to believe that yoga is not just a series of poses — – it’s a way of connecting with our bodies, minds, and hearts in a meaningful and healing way.

Although I personally enjoy high-intensity power yoga, I tailor each class to how my students are feeling on the day. If students need a more stretching-focused session, we do that. When students have no preference, I lead a mix of HIIT yoga, power yoga, a bit of vinyasa, and we finish with pranayama.

I would describe my practice as a mixed style — a fusion shaped by my students’ mood.

My sessions are never fully pre-planned, apart from a few small elements like moon cycles, weather changes, and certain asanas that we aim to explore in greater depth. This approach makes each session unique, and I plan to keep it that way so it stays interesting with an element of surprise.

I end my sessions with a brief thought or a short story that’s relevant to our lives today.

I’m usually terrible at jokes, but I don’t mind a few ‘eew’ or eye rolls, so be prepared for some of that too.

I’m also not great at keeping track of time, so most sessions tend to run 10–15 minutes over. I’ve rarely started a class late, but I always seem to lose track of time once we’re in the flow. In a way, that’s a good thing — my students often get more yoga than they planned or paid for!

I am so terrible at counting, feel free to use me as a bad example - though I’d say I’m not completely useless.
