I have been practising yoga and attending classes for over 20 years and I have been inspired by many wonderful teachers from many different disciplines of Hatha, Vinyassa, Iyengar, Yin, meditation and mindfulness.  

Yoga has been a constant presence in my life in helping me to manage the stress of a demanding job and a busy life as a working mum. 

With my children off at university I have taken some time out to finally do my formal yoga training and I am looking forward to sharing my passion for a more balanced and holistic way of life with my students.  

I did my teacher training at Ashram Om on the beautiful Balearic island of Majorca, Spain.  It truly was a transformational experience and one that has enhanced my knowledge and passion for my ongoing yoga journey.  I am continuing my professional development with regular courses and workshops to keep the inspiration and learning flowing so that I am able to refresh and enhance my teaching.

I am seeking to inspire students to use yoga as a way of improving their well being and my classes are designed to use the breath to help stretch, energise and relax and bring harmony to the mind, body and breath.  I often use aromatherapy essential oils to enhance the yoga space and practice.  I also love working outside using the elements to inform the practice.

I believe yoga should be accessible to all whatever your age, size, shape or ability.  It is not how far you can stretch your body but how far can you release and calm your mind. The quote I love is from tennis star and activist Arthur Ashe, who said that to be a success at anything in life you had to do three things..

'Start where you are

Use what you have

Do what you can. '

I look forward to welcoming you to one of my classes either on Zoom or in person.
