Philosophy and Yoga, 

as a Way of Life​

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,

Hi -  I'm Floss

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.

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.

Signature programme

My Signature 3-month History & Philosophy of Yoga Programme 

You can’t grasp the philosophy of yoga without understanding its history.


Over three months, this course weaves the two together—transforming yoga philosophy into a living practice of reflection and enquiry in relation to yoga in our lives, today.

​

Through lectures and live Zoom discussions, we trace yoga’s evolution from the pre-Vedic period to the modern day, building a rich conceptual map of its philosophical and social developments. From this grounding, you’ll be invited to explore what yoga means in your own life, practice, and teaching.

​

Rooted in reflection rather than dogma, this course treats philosophy as a practice of embodied and transformative enquiry - helping us to live better, more aligned lives.

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. ​​​

— Nathalia, Yoga Teacher, Cambridge

"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."
