I’ve been practicing yoga since 2000. I started attending yoga classes at my workplace and it was love at first downward dog…well almost. It cleared my mind and helped me cope with work stress and aches in my body. I was encouraged that there really is something for everyone, (even those with short hamstrings!)
I practiced yoga more intensely over the years with a focus on Hatha, Yin and Jivamukti. Eventually undertaking my first Yoga Teacher training and since then I haven’t looked back.
2015 was a big year of change for me, I moved to Oxted, Surrey to be closer to my family and create a better work/life balance. Yoga and meditation really helped me through this period of transition. I would have felt lost without the feeling of stability that it brings to me. I’m now excited to offer fertility yoga, pregnancy yoga and postnatal yoga classes, alongside hatha flow and restorative yoga classes.
I have been a yoga teacher since 2013. I have completed trainings in Pregnancy yoga (with hypnotherapy), Post-natal yoga, Baby yoga, Yin yoga, Fertility yoga, Chair and Restorative yoga. I have been taught by renowned teachers Norman Blair, Nadia Narain, Sarah Powers, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Francoise Freedman, amongst many others. I have also taught pregnancy and post-natal yoga for a London based yoga teacher training.
I’m fully committed to ongoing development and regularly attend yoga classes.
My aim is to create a friendly environment, encourage students to link to their breath, to enable them to find a place of stillness and peace within themselves.
Namaste!
