Hello,
A little about me then.
I started yoga after a c-section as an attempt to strengthen my core and my spine. I was in a car crash in 2001 that resulted a serious lumbar fracture. So, Yoga seemed like a gentle option to rebuild strength. I didn't realise that Yoga would turn into my life's passion. I have now been practising Yoga for 10 years with respected and knowledgeable Southampton teachers. I have gained so much more than I expected from practising Yoga. I began my teacher training in March 2018 with Laura Green Teaching and Mentoring and successfully completed the 200h TT course in November.
I teach Yoga because I want to share with people the amazing healing powers of Yoga on the mind and the body. My classes are a mixture of Hatha and Vinyasa style Yoga with a particular emphasis on alignment and developing core strength. The mat is where we will play, take care of ourselves, let go and connect with ourselves and others. I am a great believer in the message that "Yoga is for everybody and every body" so finding suitable ways to make asanas accessible to all bodies is paramount. To help poses will be modified or we might use props and/or hands on assists.
In February 2019 I set up my very first class for adults where I taught an enthusiastic group of beginners on Monday evenings at the St Denys Community Centre. I absolutely love sharing what I have learned. So I also started a second class at the Boat Club in St Denys. I really enjoy offering 1-1 sessions as it means that I am being challenged to deliver what the client requires and also enjoy the opportunity of offering more restorative yoga to finish off sessions. I have done a number of covers for local gym like companies and for colleagues and see it an essential part of my job to be able to support my fellow colleagues when they need it. I have also taught teenagers at the school where I have been a secondary school teacher for 20 years. I have delivered corporate yoga sessions.
I currently teach 2 classes a week at the St Denys Boat Club in Southamtpon.
Mondays 7.15pm and Wednesdays 7.30pm
