In 2010 I was diagnosed with a rare chronic illness. Struggling to cope with its impact on my life, I turned to yoga to see if it could make a difference to how I could cope on a daily basis. After my first yoga session, I somehow felt different, more calm, relaxed and comfortable in my body, with which I fought daily. Fast forward five years and during the past year I have successfully completed 200 hours teacher training with Live Love Yoga, based in Worthing and am ready to launch my classes in my local village of Middleton on Sea, in West Sussex. I teach Hatha yoga, encompassing slow flow, vinyasa and restorative, with an emphasis on accessibility, use of props, yoga for sports and taught with a respect for yoga's traditional roots. I believe yoga is for everyone, and that through yoga you can become more in tune with your body, and treat yourself and your body with respect, kindness and acceptance, regardless of limitations.
