Hello, I’m Bindie

I’ve been practising yoga since my mid-20s and teaching for more than 15 years. Now. My work is rooted in helping people live well with change — supporting those who are managing illness, recovering from treatment or finding their way through challenging times.

What to expect if you practice with me.

My classes are designed to help people feel more at home in their bodies. Over the years, I’ve seen how small, accessible practices can make a big difference: easing pain, calming fear, restoring confidence and bringing a sense of balance back into everyday life.

I currently teach at The Self Centre in Bury St Edmunds, offering:

  • Gentle Hatha Yoga

  • Yoga for those living with cancer

  • Supportive yoga for recovery and chronic fatigue

I also teach a weekly Zoom class for a small group of former students who have practised with me for many years.

Yoga, for me, is not about what a body looks like. It’s about how it feels to live in it.

I believe the human body is extraordinary — capable of adapting, finding balance and even self-healing when given the right environment. When we’re ‘out of sorts’, yoga can help gently put the pieces back together, like completing a jigsaw. Even when we can’t cure what’s happening, we can often create more ease, mobility and resilience.

I’ve always been deeply interested in anatomy and physiology, and that shapes my teaching. I enjoy supporting people navigating medical conditions, challenges or mobility issues. My language is practical and evidence-based, and I explain why we do what we do in class — helping students understand how movement, breath and awareness can support their health.

I also believe in the power of community. Living with illness or change can feel isolating. My classes create spaces where people feel heard, accepted and supported… just as they are.

My Teaching Style

Balanced

My classes focus on the balance between strength and flexibility, activity and rest, mind and body.

Accessible

Every practice offers options, so everyone can take part — no matter their level of experience or physical ability.

Alignment-focused:

Good alignment supports good breathing, and good breathing supports health.

Anatomy-informed

I weave in simple explanations about what’s happening in the body and why it matters.

Grounded in science

My teaching is informed by both yoga philosophy and modern understanding of the body,

Compassionate

I meet people exactly where they are, with kindness and understanding. There’s no expectation to ‘fix’ anything — just an invitation to soften, breathe and find what feels supportive in the moment.

My teaching has always evolved alongside my studies.

I’ve trained and taught extensively, including working with The Yoga Academy and running British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Courses.

I also taught yoga for long covid with the NHS for two years, and when funding ended, I created the Supportive Yoga for Recovery and CFS class to continue offering this important work.

I’m currently studying Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, which I plan to integrate into my work. These evidence-based techniques offer practical tools to help with chronic pain, nausea from treatment, and emotional overwhelm. The connection between these methods and the teachings of yoga feels completely natural to me.

I was raised in Africa and spent many years in Brazil.

I love big skies, open spaces, lush plants, mosaic patterns and the natural beauty of the human form. I’m drawn to things that are layered, imperfect and full of character.

My love of mosaic and jigsaw making reflects the heart of my teaching philosophy:

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This belief runs through everything I do — from the way I structure classes, to the way I support people in finding a new sense of wholeness in their bodies and lives.

Whether you’re living with illness, moving through recovery, or simply looking for a gentler way to reconnect with your body… there’s a place for you here.
