Overview

I started yoga practice in the Iyengar Institute in Maida Vale London in 1990. Teachers studied with in the Institute: Mira Mehta 1990-1991, Shyam Mehta 1990-1991, Sylvia Prescott 1991-1993, Jan Podebsky 1991-1993. Also Aleric Newcombe around that time. Then I left the Institute and studied with Geraldine Ross 1994-1999, Tusse Silberg 1994- 1999.Then I studied Ashtanga and Fusion Yoga with Tim Cummins 2000-2003. And Sivananda with Rod Ellis 2001-2002. After that I went back to study Iyengar Yoga with Ros Bell 2004-2006 and did number of workshops with Sasha Perryman 2007-2008.I did Iyengar Yoga teacher trainning with Ros Bell at North London Iyengar Yoga Institute 2005-2006 and I started to run weekly yoga classes at home in North London.In 2006 I moved to Suffolk where I was teaching Intermediate class in Yoga Centre "Self Centre" Bury St Edmund.I also taught general classes in my studio in Suffolk. In May 2010 I moved to the South of Spain.In the Spring 2011 I started yoga retreats and weekly regular yoga classes. I regularly travel to attend classes and workshops with Senior Iyengar teachers to deepen my knowledge, practice and my teaching skills.

I have taken a Restorative Yoga course with Roger Cole (Senior Iyengar Teacher). I also completed Mindfulness and Mindfulness Meditation Training with Dr Hagen Rampes (Mindfulness Healing) 

I employ a Mindful approach to my yoga teaching. I encourage my students to bring full awareness to the breath and their physical, and emotional sensations as they move through asanas. 

I also put emphasis on alignment, precision and selective relaxation in the postures.

Whilst my morning classes are energizing and dynamic, my Restorative evening classes ( which include Mindfulness Meditation) are geared towards rest and recovery. I passionately believe that yoga and meditation bring more clarity, balance and compassion to our lives allowing us to live and enjoy our lives to its full potential.
