I discovered yoga 6 years ago.  I was a stay at home mum of a young baby. I love being a mum but sometimes I needed a bit of escapism. It started with Bikram yoga about once a week. It soon became addictive. I was going any opportunity I had.  I suffer from a few health issues and  these became a thing of the past when I practiced regularly. I found I was even a nicer person to be around.  I soon realised that yoga is not just about flexibility and looking good in postures but it is about building strength and working with your body and most importantly your mind. The rewards of yoga are far reaching and I couldn't live without it.  

I started practicing Vinyasa yoga about 2 years ago.  In the summer I decided to take the leap and study to become a teacher because this is just the beginning for me. I would love to give back to people/students whatever I can and make yoga more accessible to everyone. I am looking to study even further over the next year and ideally would love to volunteer my time more for people who don't necessarily have access to it.  

I now teach around 8-10 classes a week.  My students are all various levels and there are mixed level abilities within my classes.  I like people to leave my class feeling invigorated and ready to tackle anything.   Its important that all my students understand that we are all unique and our bodies move in different ways and we need to bare that in mind in our practice. We adjust the postures to suit our bodies and not the other way around.   My classes are about building up our strength physically but mental well being is a priority.  

I teach both adults and children now.  I am currently doing my advance training to teach children yoga and mindfulness.  I love having the opportunity to enhance the development of children through the practice of yoga and mindfulness.  It is especially rewarding to be able to teach kids the tools to be able to calm the mind and fundamentally to deal with the challenges of life.
