Hi, I’m Ursula

Yoga for me is many things - time on the mat, yes sure but also - so much more. It’s your daily habits and routines, time spent in silence and in nature, how you nourish yourself through food, how you speak your truth, honour your boundaries, how you breathe, your stillness but also adventure, how you say no, integrity held in poses, meditation - all of this creates an authentic expression of You, forever growing and evolving to step into more powerful version of yourself.

As a teacher I bring an open and compassionate approach to my classes. I don’t believe in competition, or judgment - just curiosity, honesty and connection. Practising with integrity, honouring your body with both its strength as well as all its limitations, listening carefully to what it’s trying to communicate with you. I’m more interested in helping you release what doesn’t serve, than bending you into a pretzel. Using asana and breath as a way back into the feeling, accessing sleepy and suppressed areas in your body, healing injuries and fostering a connection to Spirit.

I am eternally inspired by nature - its natural flows, observing seasonal changes, medicinal plants and the deep wisdom Pacha Mama offers, if you care to listen.

My background includes over a thousand training hours in Vinyasa, Power yoga, Forrest Yoga, Yin & Restorative, Yoga Nidra, Myofascial release, Movement for Trauma, Trauma-sensitive and somatic bodywork, Psychotherapy, Sound Healing Therapy & Teen Yoga. My personal meditation practice & teachings and how I choose to view the world is firmly rooted in Vipassana.

I’m very lucky to have trained with and been mentored by some incredible teachers like Dr Gabor Maté and Ana Forrest, whose teachings have shaped how I show up in front of my students.

What people are saying

  • Ursula is such a find, she exudes such a calm, healing magic in all that she does, that she has become an essential element of any Morzine stay. Her cheffing is of the highest quality- food for those who appreciate local provenance, high quality vegetarian/vegan food, that nourishes and nurtures you. Her massages are becoming legendary with all my friends and yoga at the lake and in the Morzine studio is transformational. Feel very lucky to have met her

  • Ursula has many talents including a fantastic cook at events and retreats, (chef standards in wholesome cooking from all over the world), photographer, yoga and meditation teacher, Qi-Gong, an incredibly powerful Thai masseuse as well as sound healings to name a few; all of which really illustrate her expertise and gifts with body work, breath work (pranayama) and living in an authentic way both in and outside of the yoga studio. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in holistic health and well-being.

  • Ursula is a wonderful yoga teacher. My first encounter with her was a yoga brunch up in the mountains in the most beautiful location. I wasn't sure what to expect but everything was perfect from the immediate warm welcome and hug from Ursula to the practice, sound bath, glorious brunch and a lovely small group. Since then I've been to many of Ursula's classes on the lake (again, perfect location) and in studio in Morzine (very lovely space). I've also been to a second yoga brunch, and will definitely be back for more. Anyone looking for a yoga class in the Morzine area should look no further. 10 Star!

  • Truly magical! I don’t think I really understood what the phrase “hold space” meant until I attended one of Ursula’s classes. She has a presence and a way of teaching that soothes the soul, while safely and clearly guiding you to your edge and coaching you to find peace in challenging postures. I have started attending her yin yang and forrest classes regularly and they are a highlight of my week! Thank you!
