I have studied yoga since 2009 and am particularly interested in the more dynamic styles of yoga . I am a trained Ashtanga ( in the tradition of Sri Pattabhi Jois ) teacher having trained with Ashtanga Yoga Glastonbury . I qualified in June 2017 but have been teaching since January 2017 .
I live in Southampton and work in the city and throughout Hampshire . I offer Ashtanga , Vinyaysa Flow , beginners yoga , Pranayama and Yogs Nidra sessions . I also offer corporate classes 121s and bespoke tutoring.
. My classes are always lively and fun often challenging . Life is too short to be serious all the time .
Do contact me and lets chat about how we can work together and how I can support your yoga journey.
