About

I came to yoga in my late early 40s after suffering most of my adult life with a back pain due to many horse-riding incidents.

I tried other “fitness classes” but nothing really helped until I found yoga

Yoga was just what my body was looking for my first yoga class was like coming home.

It amazed me that something as simple as yoga worked on so many levels on my mind, body and well-being.

When my yoga teacher told me about the teacher training course, she was about to start teaching I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to do more.

I jumped at the chance to deepen my knowledge of the spiritual side of yoga as well as taking my physical practise to the next leave.

To be honest I had absolutely no idea what I was letting myself in for and the whole experience of training to be a yoga teacher has changed my life.

I achieved a diploma in Hatha yoga teaching with the British wheel of yoga in January 2020, this took me 3 years and is something that I am incredibly proud of. The BWY teacher training is one of the best in the world, I would say that I know, but its true look it up.

By the time I gained my diploma I had been a trainee yoga teacher for nearly two years, running my classes from my home and the local sports centre.

In the summer of 2019, I was asked to get involved with a new scheme called park yoga, where I run large free outside yoga classes for the whole of that summer, something that I wholeheartedly enjoyed, bringing people together that were new to yoga and experienced student alike out in nature.

Before I was a yoga teacher, I was a driving instructor for 26 years this gave me a thorough insight into how people learn a physical skill, and I have used that insight in my yoga teaching.

As a woman not in my first flush of youth I enjoy a slow and steady style of yoga practise with breath work being an integral part of what I enjoy, and how I teach. My classes are suitable for all, I like to help you find the challenge that is right for you, working with your body, and I help you achieve this with modifications.

The relaxation part of my classes is so important, in my view probably the most important part of your yoga practice. To bring the body to stillness allows the mind to follow and in those moments of stillness is where we find ourselves. Each class ends with a deep relaxation.

I teach 3 classes a week.
