Mindful Movement and Meditation
I first tried yoga purely to increase my strength and flexibility, not realising the life-enhancing journey it would lead me on. Being naturally energetic, I surprised myself with being drawn to the quiet and contemplative practices of Hatha and Yin. Striving for authenticity, I completed my first yoga teacher training living with a family in a small town in India. Having yoga passed down to me as it had been passed down to them. I’ve since taking further teacher trainings including a 200-hour intensive in Costa Rica, 50-hour Yin at YYoga, Canada.
I have always been one to utilise audio guided meditations, and my deeper dive into mindfulness occurred during the pandemic, where it became a daily practice that has turned into a lifestyle. I have received these as gifts and in turn aim to gift others. And apparently, I have a good voice for it!
When it comes to leading yoga, whether a gentle or strong practice, it is always a slow flow, always mindful and always there to support your intentions. I encourage a playful approach with curiosity and acceptance to explore the body, mind and spirit.

"I arranged a private online yoga class for me and my mum during the pandemic. Setting up the session was very easy, and Araba communicated well about what we were looking for and delivered! She was amazing; she paced the session perfectly for us and provided adaptations when needed. It was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable, and Araba made the session fun and inviting throughout! I'd definitely book again. Thank you, Araba!"

"One of my favourite YYoga classes so far & I've been a member for more than a decade! This was the perfect mix of strength and a slower but powerful flow for a later evening class; was sweaty, limber and somehow still ready for a good sleep after! Cues were also great & the flows were very different in a good way. It was nice to mix it up & can't wait to come to another of Araba's classes."

" I tend to avoid long-hold practices because I find them physically and mentally tough, but Araba guides you through these holds with such lovely presence and encouragement. I loved this practice and feel deeply stretched/strengthened as well as calm and ready for the rest of my day. Thank you, Araba! "
