I have been practising Yoga since 1998, and graduated through the Sam Rao Teacher Training Programme in March 2016.

I was born in Blantyre, Malawi.  In order to complete my education I was sent to a Boarding School in India and returned to Malawi in 1977 when I took up further education in Home Economics and Pitman’s Secretarial Diploma.  I came to the UK in 1980, got married in 1983, held a full time job within a blue-chip company in London.  Sadly I lost my husband in 1996.  In order to move on in life I tried various activities, I didn’t enjoy gym workouts and then found yoga (BWY) in 1998 which resonated with me. 

In 2002 I moved to Berkshire and lost touch with my London yoga group and found a yoga class run by Sam Rao, who inspired and motivated me into yoga. 

I left my job in London in order to find better prospects closer to home (Berks) but towards the end of 2014 I got fed-up with working in the corporate world and decided to give it up and pursue my interest in Yoga.

I teach Hatha Yoga, Meditation and Breathing. My teaching style is mindful and gentle. I run classes for clients who are absolute beginners to those who feel a lot more flexible and can take that extra pace further.  I also attend/practice my yoga with other teachers enabling me to continue learning all the time.  I believe I have finally found what I love doing best and that is teaching yoga to those who’ve never done it and seeing them turn up week after week and giving a positive feedback on how they feel having started their yoga journey with me.
