Practice becomes firmly rooted

when it is cultivated skilfully and continuously for a long time

Patanjali’s yoga sutra

I teach flowing vinyasa yoga classes for all levels in London, mainly in Islington, Shoreditch and Stoke Newington. The classes link movement and breath in imaginative, sometimes challenging, and always fun sequences, balancing the energy of dynamic movement with the stillness of a moving meditation. My classes are inclusive, welcoming and friendly. While focusing on physical movement and postures, they always include some breath work and exploration of psychology, philosophy or yoga history. I emphasise physical and subtle energetic aspects, guiding students to become more aware of the body and familiar with the mind.

I also teach gentle flow and restorative yoga, and yoga nidra (‘yogic sleep’: deep guided relaxation) – particularly in regular courses, on retreats, and 1-2-1.

Asana practice supports a strong immune system creating a balance between strength and flexibility in the body. It energises and invigorates. Prepared in this way we can work in our meditation practice to deepen self-reflective awareness and calm the mind, so that over time we can see a little more clearly what drives our feelings, emotions, actions and reactions.

I really enjoy the flowing and meditative nature of Isabell's classes. Each class builds-up poses around differing themes accompanied by some great soundtracks.
There is an insightful blend of yoga theory with strong practice.
Isabell has thoughtful new approaches to the poses I have always found challenging, and thanks to these classes I have continued to evolve my practice and am still finding new aspects of yoga to enjoy!

I've been drawn to Isabell's classes for a few years by a blend of creative sequences, tunes, and themes. She invites students to explore their range of motion and to approach new things with curiosity. Her carefully considered cues and attention to safety and wellbeing create an ideal setting for exploration. Besides all that, Isabell is really kind and her classes are tons of fun.

Isabell's classes have benefitted both my physical and mental health and I always leave her sessions feeling uplifted. Isabell is knowledgeable and experienced but she is also kind and light-hearted when teaching, this really adds to the quality and my enjoyment of her classes. Thank you Isabell!

Isabell’s teaching has always been second to none, she has a beautifully calming energy, is very inclusive making her classes enjoyable for people of all levels, and through variety, creativity and her extensive & impressive knowledge & experience of yoga & meditation, every class/retreat is different with the opportunity to always be learning/trying something new.

Isabell is a really wonderful teacher - so kind and wise! I feel very safe in her classes, which are put together with a huge amount of thought and care. The classes are always different and imaginative, and never boring! Isabell was my first ever yoga teacher - I don't think I would have stuck with it if it wasn't for her, and the practice has enriched my life immeasurably so I will be forever grateful.
