Embodied Philosophy
PODCAST ● DISCUSSION GROUPS ● CPD FOR YOGA TEACHERS
In modern times, philosophy has all to commonly become associated with abstract ideas and frameworks, but in the past philosophy was embodied and practiced as a way of life.
Embodying Philosophy is an approach to philosophical enquiry and practice which seeks to revive an earlier understanding of philosophy as something which is lived and continually enquired into, in community, as we seek deeper meaning in our lives.
Instead of seeing philosophy as something purely intellectual and abstract, Embodied philosophy acknowledges that all philosophical enquiry is contextual, existing within time, space, and body. In this way, embodying philosophy is about reflecting on our lives, practices (including yoga) and values within community as we seek deeper understanding and meaning.

Embodied Anatomy & the Tantric Imagination
YOGA CLASSES ● ONLINE COURSES ● CPD FOR YOGA TEACHERS ● YOGA WORKSHOPS
Each teacher has a philosophy that underpins their teaching style, whether they consciously recognise it or not. Over years of development, my teaching style has been formed through philosophical approach called the tantric or medieval imagination and the practice of embodied anatomy, inspired by the Franklin Method.
While the imagination has gotten a bad name in modern society, in the medieval period the imagination was central to spirituality and contemplation across traditions. In Tantra Yoga as in Christian mystical contemplation, the imagination was central to meditation as an embodied and contemplative practice.
Through my trainings in embodied anatomy and tantra yoga, and my academic research into the philosophy of language and the body, I offer a unique and transformative teaching style building on the medieval imagination and proprioception – the sense of the body in space – through which I encourage students to embody their anatomy and adopt a curious, sensitive, and graceful attitude of self-enquiry which will transform your practice, whatever your goals are.

My teaching style is informed by a multiplicity of yoga traditions: from Hatha, Tantra and Vinyasa yoga, to Iyengar and Rocket.
