About me
I am a UK-based yoga teacher-trainer with a community practice across East Anglia. I began my practice in 1994 at a local community class in Stoke Newington, London after experiencing many years of a debilitating chronic repetitive strain injury. The felt experience of yoga brought so many benefits, many hidden at first to slowly reveal deeper mental and emotional calm. I qualified as a yoga instructor with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2004 taking the 500 hours Diploma and have since undertaken training in specialisms such as cancer recovery, restorative yoga, yin yoga and mindfulness. At present I teach via Zoom or privately one-to-one.
Experience
I was fortunate to train with Viniyoga teacher Margaret Woodley and I keep the tradition of Krishnamacharya and Desikachar alive in my teaching, fusing Viniyoga with Scaravelli ideas to bring a therapeutic experience, whether you are a student looking for higher levels of fitness, spiritual or emotional clam or dealing with a life-challenging illness. I teach in the community, run retreats in Sweden, give workshops, train at Foundation and Diploma level for the British Wheel of Yoga and provide mentoring and one-to-one. My own teaching is a morphing of many ideas and is empirical and individual. I am well-respected for my teaching style and delivery.
