The syle of yoga that I teach is a gentle, rounded Hatha Yoga which incorporates asana (physical postures) and pranayama (breathing practices) into mindful movement and breath work along with relaxation techniques and meditation. Both public and private yoga classes are offered, as well as corporate yoga classes and yoga and mindfulness workshops in the workplace.

I serve yoga students in Hampshire, mainly from Fair Oak, Horton Heath, Bishopstoke, Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford, Winchester and Southampton. 

I attended my first yoga class in 1999 and have been practicing yoga ever since, exploring several different approaches along the way.

Keen to deepen my knowledge, I undertook a Teacher Training Programme at the Yoga Sanctuary in Southampton led by Yoga Master Premananda (Steve Harrison). My own relationship with yoga deepened following a visit to India where I stayed in a yoga ashram in Rishikesh on the banks of the Ghanjis. 

The system I follow is called “Living Yoga”. It follows the classical teachings of Hatha Yoga which have been handed down from the Himalyan sages of Northern India over thousands of years. This complete system takes the teachings of Yoga into our everyday lives, on and off the yoga mat, enabling us to make a deeper connection with our body and mind.

I aim to inspire and nurture people through the teachings of yoga and these are threaded through my classes. My sessions incorporate gently flowing postures (asana), breathing exersises (pranyama), relaxation and meditation techniques (pratyahara, dharana and dhyana) and I explain the benefits to the system along the way. Mindful movement and breathwork develops self-awareness and expands the capacity to cope with modern day stress.

My training has included studying Yoga Philosophy, Ethics and Lifestyle, Yoga Anatomy, Stress and Relaxation Management, Mindfulness, Mental Health, Breath Control, Chanting and more. I have been influenced by a wide variety of yoga styles, attending classes and workshops run by teachers with backgrounds in Classical Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, Kriya Yoga, Yin, Restorative, Kundalini, Viniyoga and Dru Yoga.
