I started studying yoga in 1982, and for the last twenty years have had my own regular practice based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. I graduated from my teacher training in June 2023, studying with Ashtanga Yoga Glastonbury. I have practiced different types of yoga over the years - Hatha, Viniyoga, some Iyengar, and of course Ashtanga, and I've been lucky enough to be able to study with a lot of different teachers. I have a particular interest in philosophy from both the yoga and "western" perspectives and continue to study yoga philosophy. As an older practitioner, I appreciate how the body changes with age and other limitations, and I want my classes to be accessible to all, and to include aspects of pranayama and meditation as well as asana.
