This has left her with a clear vision of how Yoga can form & adapt to benefit all walks of life. Underpinning all her work is a deep desire to help spirits of all levels, reach a more happy & balanced state of being. 

Sandra's accent, soothing voice & words from the heart cannot be forgotten. Her unbounded energy & wealth of experience makes each session an eclectic mix of many influences.

Woven together to create a unique dynamic & innovative style. She invites & integrates creative expression & movement in to her work. Connecting people to their inner rhythm & fluidity.

Her motherly nature welcomes everybody to explore their body & tune  into what it is saying. Making it clear that everything is simply a guidance & invitation. Working within your own limitations & learning to acknowledge them is key to safe Yoga & wellbeing.


 All classes commence with a grounding & long awakening warm up. Leaving the joints lubricated & the body prepared to work deeper during class. Often working within a theme, Sandra's offerings of nourishing movement integrate the power of the breath throughout.
All woven together with positive affirmations, guided meditations, beautiful visualisation's & empowering mantra's & mudra's. Join in & you will find she culminates sessions with soothing, transporting sound baths. 

Each session with Sandra is a journey & creates a full mind, body & spirit work out. Her work is full of positivity & connects you to the beauty of the world & life within & around us.
