I have been teaching yoga since 2016, complimented by over 20 years teaching experience  within Further and Higher Education and the Health and Fitness Industry.  I have a BSc (Hons) in Health and Physical Activity, a Masters in Education and I currently teach the 'Anatomy for Yoga' module on the Santosha Yoga 200 Hour teacher Training programme in Santosha Yoga Studio in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.  

As a kinaesthetic student, I am a firm believer in active learning and that many concepts are not completely understood until the written theory is put into physical practice, my teaching places a strong emphasis on the breath-movement connection and on the importance of the integrity and mindfulness of movement. At a personal level I believe in the power of the mind and that there is true freedom from personal suffering when we connect the ease and grace of the breath with our movement on the mat. I am a passionate student of yoga and I am continually developing through, personal practice, courses and workshops; I am currently completing my Doctorate in Health Studies, my thesis will focus on Primary School children and the potential for yoga to enhance their social-emotional learning and development.
