Yoga is a way of life
I’m KT, a 500-hour qualified yoga teacher based in the heart of Sevenoaks, Kent.
I offer compassionate, mindful and non-competitive classes that embrace the healing benefits of yoga, helping to ease stress, release tension and support emotional wellbeing. My approach encourages you to find balance, create space and build inner strength to help support you through life’s challenges.
I specialise in Somatics, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Chair and Kids Yoga, encouraging you to move and breathe in a way that feels right for your body and individual needs. Through mindful movement, we explore flexibility, strength, posture and balance, while developing greater awareness of how our bodies move and feel.
Yoga is for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced yogis. I offer individual and group classes, both in person and online, in a welcoming and supportive environment where you can practise at your own pace and adapt to your own individual needs.

I’ve been a little quiet on here this year as I’ve been studying another yoga qualification, this time in Somatic Yoga.
Much of my spare time has been spent rolling around on the floor! This clip is a short sample from a free new class recorded on my Oaks Yoga YouTube channel. It’s a 40 minute Somatic Yoga session to help release tension, reconnect with your body, and feel grounded.
Hope you enjoy. Full practice on YouTube. Link in bio ✨

As we journey into another year, it’s easy to feel tempted by resolutions to better ourselves, take on intense new exercise routines, or restrict the food and drink we enjoy. Instead, how about welcoming the new year by accepting yourself just as you are? Leave behind the inner critic, and embrace self-compassion and kindness.
There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment and sometimes we can really feel it in our body. Connecting in with yourself, holding yourself and taking some self care can really help soften and soothe the nervous system.
It’s unsettling when the world seems so harsh, but in all the horror there’s also beauty, love and care. We are much better when we gently tend to ourselves, share and shine it out to those around us. Much love, KTx. #selfcare #bekind #faceyoga #breathe #love #connect #kindness #care
I’ve been sharing these delicious chocolate, salty dates at some of my classes this week to celebrate our two year anniversary of the studio opening! Thank you to all the beautiful souls who have journeyed through the years with me (both before and during the last few years in this amazing space). I feel truly honoured to guide each and everyone of you and for everything you’ve brought to the mat. As a tiny gift I wanted to share this very simple and easy recipe for these chocolate covered dates filled with peanut butter.
Thank you @laurensarahbarber for introducing me to these scrumptious treats!
Ingredients
12 Medjool dates
Smooth peanut butter or almond butter
100g Dark chocolate
Method
- Remove the pit from each Medjool date.
- Fill the center of each date with approximately half a teaspoon of peanut butter.
- Close each date and set aside.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie (a heatproof bowl over simmering water).
- Dip each nut paste filled date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the chocolate-covered dates on a tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
They’re great stored in the fridge, ready to reach for when in need of a satisfying treat! #anniversary #medjooldates #selfcompassionpractice #lovefood #yummytreats #nourish
Finding ways to switch on our inner light as we drift into darker days. Tapping the body stimulates blood flow, brings warmth and awakens sensations to make you feel alive in the moment. It’s great for your brain as it improves sensory feedback which plays a crucial role in developing proprioception (the brain’s awareness of the body’s position in space). This 6 minute practice is a great way to brighten and tap into your day! 😊
