The longer story…

Hi my name is Renee, I was born in London, United Kingdom and grew up in Los Angeles, CA. I started dancing at the age of seven and In 2016 I graduated from The London Contemporary Dance School. Since graduating I’ve worked as a dance artist with Jacob Jonas The Company and have performed and worked as a freelance dancer. Through my love for dance and collaboration, I love to take dance into other mediums through fashion, photography and film and have worked with fashion Brands and platforms such as Mulberry, Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger, Farfetch, Maje, and Escada.

In 2019 I found myself at a crossroads in my life and wondering what my “purpose” was. My love for dance lead me to do my 500 Hour YTT at Sattva Yoga Academy in India. Looking back at this time I was in search to want to deepen my understanding of life and this body. My experience in India opened so many doors for and felt like I moved through life times of emotions, conditioning, and so on. This lead me to want to share these practices with others.

Through my continuous studies and practice in Movement & Yoga, my classes offer a combination of both movement and mindfulness with the breath being the guide through-out class. Encouraging people to bring their awareness down into the body, listen, explore and honour where they are in their practice each day. To drop any expectations and bring more intuition, awareness, and creativity in the way you move both on and off the mat. My classes weave through different yogic practices like Breath-work, Pranayama, Hatha / Vinyasa, Free movement, Kriya, Mantra, and Meditation. An integrated practice which anchors you into the here and now. A practice to be moved by your own movement, open your awareness, and stabilise the nervous system by accessing the mind, body, breath and your internal energetic system.

Whether it’s through the offering of retreats, events, group classes, or private sessions, my intention is to share that movement is accessible to everyone. Sharing the practices and tools from different yoga lineages and movement modalities so you can create a daily practice to shift how you are feeling at any given moment.
