Unveiling the Wild Rose Yoga Experience 🌹

You may have noticed that I have rebranded from Sapien Yoga to Wild Rose Yoga, and along with it, a fresh new look inspired by neo-traditional tattoos.

When I redesigned my brand, I was drawn to Sailor Jerry tattoos—this style honours old-school nautical tattooing, with a fresh take; drawing inspiration from the artistic influences that came in the following decades, with updated shaded detail and a wider, more vibrant colour palette as tattooing technology and tastes evolved. Much like my approach to teaching the ancient practice of yoga... exploring the wisdom of ancient Indian sages and making it relevant and practical for the people of Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, and Brighton in 2025. 

I originally chose the name Sapien Yoga because, to me, yoga is about returning to feeling purely human—free from the distractions, sedentariness, and chaos of the modern world—just Homo Sapiens, breathing, moving, being.

But the yoga classes we love and practice in the 21st-century West are a far cry from traditional yoga. Vinyasa Yoga, in particular, is a creative, ever-evolving art. Think of structured practices like Ashtanga as the meticulous scientists—methodical and precise—while Vinyasa is the artist: free, wild, creative, poetic.

While I still hold the value of leaving the noise of the modern world at the door so we can move, feel, and be more human on the mat, Wild Rose Yoga embodies a fresh, dynamic approach to practice—one that honours tradition while embracing the now, and how these ancient lessons of mind and movement can help us navigate the craziness and chaos of modern life with a little more inner peace.
