Oceana demonstrates a standing side bend yoga pose on a rooftop.

I’m a yoga and somatic movement teacher based in London.

I grew up on a volcanic desert island off the coast of Africa within a creative household that nurtured my natural inclination towards playful experimentation. I believe many of my students would agree that this outlook is something that strongly informs my way of engaging with, as well as transmitting, the traditions of yoga, meditation and movement as a whole.

After nearly a decade of personal exploration I felt the need to dive deeper into my practice by joining Yogacampus’ foundational teacher training. During this time I met my teacher Yogiraj Katrina Repka who brought me into the ISHTA Yoga lineage (the Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra & Ayurveda). Here I’ve been able to expand my understanding of what is known as the 'subtle body’ in yoga, as well as it’s philosophical underpinnings.

My current interest lies in exploring the intersections between yogic concepts around subtle body anatomy and, how somatic movement might provide tangible ways of exploring these more elusive parts of ourselves. My hope is that finding more accessible ways of expanding our sensory awareness and developing our ability to introspect will empower us to form stronger connections between the physical, mental and emotional parts of ourselves in meaningful ways.
