My first taste of yoga was in 1997 when a friend suggested I go along to the class at my gym. She said, "It's great exercise and you'll feel really chilled out at the end of it!" It was and I did. I quickly felt improvements in my general fitness and flexibility as well as relief from stress. From that day I haven't looked back. Yoga became a necessity.
I have been teaching since 2011. My training is with the British Wheel of Yoga on a 500 hour diploma course with Rosemary Bennett.
Classes include a strong emphasis on the physical postures combined with breath awareness, pranayama, mindfulness, meditation and relaxation.
I have also undergone training in teaching a specialised, evidence based 12 week course of yoga for healthy lower backs. Although I do not currently have further courses planned at present, I may be able to help you on a one to one basis using these specialised exercises.
Having completed the British Wheel of Yoga Pregnancy Module with Wendy Teasdil, I can offer Antenatal yoga, for individuals or small groups in your own home or online. This combines modified postures with suitable breathing techniques and use of mantra, visualisation and relaxation.
I taught yoga in several schools and have also done work place sessions.
I can offer one to one yoga, as a gentle introduction before joining a regular class or to enhance or deepen your practice by targeting your individual goals or needs (physical or emotional).
Please contact me for further details on any of the above. I am enthusiastic to share the gems of yoga with anyone who wishes to start or continue their journey with this ancient and wonderful practice!
