With a Masters in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Cambridge and 7 years experience teaching yoga, my work bridges scholarship and practice; the intellectual and the embodied.
My deepest passion is for reviving a vision where philosophy becomes a practice and way of life that goes hand-in-hand with our embodied practices. I love creating spaces for yoga teachers to explore yoga philosophy and history, and discovery what it means to embody philosophy, as a way of life, for themselves through learning, curiosity, and enquiry,
Yoga and philosophy teacher, scholar–practitioner, and lifelong student of embodied wisdom.
Hi - I'm Floss
Embodying Philosophy for Yoga Teachers
I believe philosophy is a way of life; where intellectual contemplation goes hand-in-hand with embodied practice in the pursuit of a more meaningful way of being.
Through my online courses and workshops, I help yoga teachers turn yoga philosophy into a lived practice - one that transforms your approach to teaching, business and life through reflection, learning and genuine enquiry.
My Approach to Yoga
In modern Western culture, the body is often treated as a machine to be trained or fixed. The rich traditions of Yoga and Tantra instead invite us to see the body as a site of the sacred — a landscape of self-enquiry, inner pilgrimage, and revelation. In my classes, movement, breath, imagination and visualisation become gateways into this inner landscape. Blending embodied anatomy with mystical yet grounded philosophy, the practice awakens subtle awareness — not only of muscles and bones, but of energy, rhythm, and sensation.

The Embodying Philosophy as a Way of Life Podcast
In modern times, philosophy is often seen as abstract and intellectual but, in the past, philosophy was a way of life. where theory and practice went hand in hand.
Embodied philosophy recognises that all philosophical enquiry is grounded in time, space, and body. It is about reflecting on our lives, practices (including yoga), and values within community as we seek deeper understanding and meaning in our lives.

"Floss dives deep into the philosophy and history of yoga in a way that I haven’t experienced elsewhere. Not only does she eloquently present the course material, Floss unpicks the nuances between various yoga styles in a respectful and thoughtful manner, weaving history, theology, philosophy and more to achieve this. This extends beyond the lectures and into the participant discussions too. I have learnt far more on this topic from this course than in my yoga teacher training and would recommend it to anyone teaching or practising yoga who is looking to deepen their knowledge and is ready to explore this subject in an opened-minded manner."
