I have been practising Yoga for over 40 years and have used it extensively in my teaching as a Contemporary Dance teacher in Secondary Education. I also ran regular Yoga sessions for teenagers and staff over a number of years. I have a 200 hour teaching certificate from Yoga Renew and 100 hours training in Teenyoga and Meditation, plus individual Ashtanga tuition in Goa, India. Over the years I have attended predominantly Ashtanga, Iyengar and Hatha classes. For my own teaching I prefer to focus on a flow class with emphasis on developing strength, alignment, flexibility and breathing techniques. I also include  gentle relaxation exercises, these were always particularly popular with my teenage students. I have recently retired from my role as Head of Dance at an International Boarding School and I am now concentrating on  freelance work including offering Yoga classes to my local community in the North East of Scotland. Outside of teaching I am developing my work as a textile artist, specialising in Felting, I also love Cycling, Swimming and travelling in our Campervan.
