Connie is no stranger to the stresses and strains of modern life and uses Yoga to ease this along with being born with slight scholiosis (curvature of the spine) which means she knows how it feels to have a "bad back" and manage this through Yoga; she is a busy working mum and has spent most of her working life as a Computer Engineer and has been interested in fitness, exercise and nutrition for over 15 years. Over the last four years she has studied part time to obtain the following teaching qualifications and experience:
