I am joint owner of Balance Ireland Martial Arts and Yoga. I teach Ashtanga Yoga, I'm the head instructor of the Henshin Aikido Dojo and the head coach of Balance Ireland Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

I am a Yoga teacher registered RYT 200 with Yoga Alliance UK.  I started yoga around 2002 to combat the many injuries and imbalances in my body from many years of Martial Arts training. I fell in love with the the Ashtanga yoga tradition and yoga philosophy and so in I completed my Yoga Alliance 200 hour Teacher Training with Paul Dallaghan in Samui in Thailand. I am grateful to all the wonderful teachers I have studied with for passing on the tradition of yoga.
