On my way home from my very first yoga class I was overcome by an amazing sense of wellbeing. I had gone along because I wanted to make a difference to my body, but what I hadn’t been expecting was this wonderful sense of calm. I had really enjoyed the energising postures, but the focus on the breath during the practice had rested my mind too. A yogi was born – and twenty years later I am still practicing and teaching yoga!

A love of yoga evolved into a desire to teach and I graduated from the Sam Rao Yoga School in March 2013. Over the years I have experienced different types of yoga, not only through teaching but also my own personal practice and my continuing professional development. I continued my own yoga practice whilst I was pregnant with my daughter and later trained to teach yoga for pregnancy. I have also completed further training in vinyasa, restorative, yin yoga and yoga nidra.
