Freedom Through Form
Mohini’s teaching is rooted in freedom, presence, and the natural intelligence of the body. Humour, passion, spontaneity, and dynamism weave through her classes, creating an atmosphere that is both grounded and alive. Her approach draws from Yogic, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions, integrating Vipassana, Metta, and Mindfulness practices with Patanjali’s Eightfold Path, Advaita (Self‑Inquiry), and the unique expression of personal Shakti.
Her work is informed by decades of study in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology, encouraging students to meet their inner emotional landscape with honesty and compassion. Through this integration of breath, movement, inquiry, and energetic awareness, Mohini guides practitioners toward deep relaxation, meditative stillness, and the possibility of profound insight.
Her teaching offers a space where stillness and fluidity coexist — where the physical, emotional, and pranic bodies can open, release, and realign. It is yoga as inner freedom, expressed through form.
Movement, Energy & Inquiry
Mohini’s practice integrates Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Vipassana or Insight Meditation, and the study of the body’s energetic systems. She trained with John Munro of Long White Cloud Qi Gong (Level 1 Instructor) and previously with Master Ding Academy in Tai Chi for Health. Her work explores the balance of Yin and Yang — Water and Fire — through movement, breath, inquiry, and stillness.
Her background in Humanistic Psychotherapy at Spectrum London informs her integrative approach, encouraging students to open to difficult emotions as part of deepening awareness of one’s True Nature.
Mohini is the author of Yogaflows™ (2002), a work reflecting her lifelong dedication to embodied practice, meditation, and contemplative inquiry. For over forty years she has taught workshops, seminars, retreats, and trainings across the UK and internationally, sharing yoga as a path of inner freedom, insight, and compassionate presence.Her training spans the British Wheel of Yoga, Kripalu Yoga, and extensive study with Erich Schiffmann, Clive Sheridan, and Sarah Powers. She has practiced meditation with teachers from Gaia House in Devon, the Insight Meditation Center in Barre, USA, and Yanai Postelnik, whose guidance has deeply shaped her understanding of Vipassana and Metta.
Mohini’s spiritual roots also include Advaita and Self‑Inquiry. She has sat with H.R.L. Poojaji, Gangaji, Sri Sri Mata Amritanandamayi, and Mooji in India, Portugal, the USA, and the UK. Her guiding teachers today are Mark Gladman (aka Brother Frederick James) and Father Thomas Keating, whose teachings on Advaita and Centering Prayer, and the Contemplative Christian tradition respectively, continue to nourish her evolutionary spiritual and prayer life.
Service & Community
Service has always been part of Mohini’s path. She has volunteered with Amma’s organisation, contributed to Age UK as a Befriender, worked with teenagers through Envision, and completed a mile‑a‑day Walk for Dementia in 2024. Her current initiative “Art With Heart” will benefit both British Heart Foundation and Dementia UK. These experiences reflect her belief that yoga extends far beyond the mat — into community, compassion, and everyday acts of kindness.
Teaching Worldwide
Over the years, Mohini has taught throughout England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and internationally. She was Guest Tutor at the New Zealand Yoga Teachers’ Conference in 2005 and taught Master Classes in Singapore. She has led retreats in France, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, and the UK, and has successfully taught five British Wheel of Yoga Level 1 Foundation Courses. Many of her students have gone on to become yoga teachers themselves, carrying forward the inspiration they found in her classes.
Contemplative Life
Since the passing of her beloved mother in 2021, Mohini has returned to her Christian contemplative roots, deepening her prayer life through community, silence, and worship. She believes that all spiritual traditions carry the fragrance of the Divine, and that no single path holds exclusivity over truth.
She continues to retreat regularly at Gaia House — her “second home” — and travels to India and France to spend time with family and deepen her practice. She recently undertook a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Walsingham, honouring the contemplative dimension of her Christian lineage.
Current Work
Mohini is currently working on her second book.
