The thing I love about yoga is that it can be so many things for so many people. I still remember going to my first yoga class over 20 years ago, not quite sure what to expect, but being totally captivated by this new type of movement. I have always enjoyed being quite physical, but this was about more than just exercise – it was a whole workout for my body, mind and spirit. I left that class feeling lighter – physically, mentally and emotionally. That’s when I realised I’d discovered something special.

Today, I try to incorporate that same sense of completeness in my classes. Yoga is a physical practice, but only as much as you want it to be. In my classes, I encourage you to listen to your needs and to find your own edge. Maybe today is the day you want to try a headstand or a flying crow – or maybe today is the day for lingering in child’s pose. Finding that connection between your body and mind can be incredibly calming and also wonderfully liberating.

As well as holding my 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher qualification, I am working towards my 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training accreditation. I have a special interest in working with teens and young people and have trained with the Teen Yoga Foundation to become a Teen Yoga specialist. I also hold a Level 3 First Aid certificate and am fully DBS-checked.
